Girl Cooties

evildrem and dejla both posted about this bit of stupidity earlier, and then a commenter over at Dejla's pointed out this in response. Most excellent.

And stealing from my own comment: So Bill Gates wouldn't have tinkered in his garage if he'd been forced to watch a female Starbuck? Is that about right?

I used to play RPG's and still would if I had time. If you're interested, go down to your local game store, if the guys there are any good, they won't care that you're female and help you out. A lot of stores have bulletin boards with ads, "Looking for game" or "Looking for players" I found a group through that once, they were nice guys.

If they don't, find a different store. Don't give up! It's great fun.

Sadly I don't know of any local gamestores.
And I don't have a car so I can't go searching for one.
I've looked online but most ones I've found want only EXPERIENCED PLAYERS.
*sigh*

That's too bad... I had fun RPGing...

I used to play by myself actually.

But, I'd cheat to high heaven :) "Oh, look, I met an orc. Oh, look, it died... of a fatal ingrown toenail. Oooo! Loot! Luckily, my weight allowance is broken! It doesn't matter that I'm a 125 pound woman carrying 722 pounds of stuff!"

Ahhh... memories.

But, that's what got me started in computer games. the Final Fantasy and Elder Scrolls series being my faves...
