>>98690848I've mostly played with all-male groups, but back when we had a female player, she was also fine, not overly sensitive, knew the rules and so on. She was another player's girlfriend, even, and there was no relationship drama or anything like that to worry about.
>>98690848I don’t believe youHowever The best group I’ve had is one ftm, one mtf, and a femboy and his gay bear daddy with an occasional drop in from an androgynous entity I am unaware of the true identity of. I am a fucking chud but we all get along and enjoy dark moody topical games with lots of racism, gay bashing, fucked up drug usage and even topics like rape and child abduction when it’s actually appropriate and not just as a way to make things edgy. (We’re playing cyberpunk and found a group of gangers selling custom brain dances with every subject you could imagine). Every so often they do “fade to black” scenes and basically ERP but I consider that a very small price to pay for being able to play with actual rational adults who get really into the roleplaying and don’t make shit weird or get pissy.
>>98690848>shit that never happened: the threadSuck and swallow a shotgun, sybarite.
>And then everyone clapped
I am forced to play pf2e and/because half my group are closet bisexualsEvery week i wish for death
>>98690973>Xhe can't come up with an excuse to get out of itI've left many games. I usually blame my work because I'm a shift worker. I even did a permanent shift swap just to get out of a particular day.
>>98690848Women are just people.
>>98690848Have you considered that maybe a community doing its own checks and balances solves most perceived issues before they occur?Also >>98690998If you're winning clown prizes it's probably because you're playing clown games. Set down rules and adhere to them and don't be inconsistent because boobs. It's as simple as that. If a woman is being an attention whore kick her ass to the curb just as you would any other That Guy.
>>98690981ive actually started asking for more shifts on weekends to get out of it>>98690998people are just women
>>98691165Working shifts is great, convenient excuse to get out of any social obligations, and you're even getting paid for it.The downside is that if you keep doing it long term it start corroding your own sleep schedule in a way that's not so easy to fix.
I'm the only straight guy in a group full of woke trannies and it's pretty cash money because they all wanna GM one thing or the other and whole-ass the prep.
>>98691176my health is a small price to pay to not play pathfinder
>>98690998>Women are unjust people.FTFY.
>>98691204Why can't you just tell your group that you don't like Pathfinder, that you'll skip the current camaoign but would love to join the next non-Pathfinder campaign they run?
>>98690848Over my almost 2 decades of GMing I've noticed that all female players generally fall under one of three categories>Girls who want to participate to hang out and socialse, but clearly aren't strongly interested in the game itself. Usually brought along by a friend or boyfriend >Girls who are only interested in the social part of the game, i.e. talking to PCs and often flirting who would almost certainly feel more at home in a LARP>Genuinely great players who are strongly involved in the story and planning and are very good roleplayers like OP describesHowever I have NEVER seen a female player who would be genuinely interested in the purely mechanical part of the game in the way many men are - learning it just for the sake of it, theorycrafting etc. The third category learns enough of it to do well enough in the game, but nothing beyond that. This seems to be purely a male domain
>>98690998Women aren't people! They're women!
>>98690848>Itt. Anon plays games and realizes 90% of nogames 'knowledge' is bullshit.Say it ain't so.
As it turns out, stereotypes are just averages. And, if there’s one lesson to take from the current LLM debacle, it’s that averages are actually a really poor way to run things.
>>98690848>I've been lied to my whole life what the hellWhat, the edgy incels constantly trying to one-up each other about saying the most shocking thing weren't accurately portraying reality? Well ain't that a shock.
>>98691210Well, this is an unjust world.
>>98690848>expect the usualthe usual as in fake shit people on this board say about "le females in my hobby"?
>>98691219That's one upside of having a female players around. I'd rather deal with a clueless chick than some "theorycrafter" who tries to break the game with some inane build and ruin fun for everyone involved just to prove he's smarter than game designers (he's not).
>>98690848>be me DM>one girl in the group>rest is guys>everyone but one dude plays female characters>me DM just casually introducing my NPCs>one player: Huh, those are a lot of women NPCs desu all the men are off dying in the war there's no romance in my adventure, it is actually an economic/political thriller but with fantasy- but they don't know that and nobody has an INT stat higher than 9
>>98691213i have said that i dont like pathfinder multiple times a week for several weeks. at this point i might just not play it honestly
>>98691219This. I also have a female friend who usually here only for investigation, plot, and lore. Like she just wants to read a fantasy book.
>>98692061If you don't like it, then not playing is definitely the right option. Just don't be a a bitch about it and make up excuses.
>>98690848How are the character lethality statistics looking?
>>98690963Better than you standing up and brapping after posting something retarded.
>>98691821Game designers are some of the most retarded fuckers imaginable half the time, so he probably is smarter.
>>98690848it is time for you to play a women better than women
>>98690848and other things that never happenned?
>>98690848>gear player playing with "girls" yeah okay buddy. I'm sure you and Lilith had a great time playing DnD>>98690953>I'm a a fucking chud but I hang out with a bunch of faggotsyour also a fag. god dnd players are so fucking gay
>>98695473Take the rope, troon.
>>98691832Kekked
>>98690848Then everyone stood up and clapped. Do you think women will reward you with pussy if you make up stories about how amazing they are?
>>98690944fpbp
>Women >In TTRPGsYeah sounds made up.
>>98690953I, too, enjoy Changeling: the Dreaming.
>>98696101>cyberpunk>d&dOk retard. >>98696921Much closer! Vampire and Demon. We were going to run a Mage game but then we decided to do a Cyberpunk game instead. I thought about running a Changeling game actually but I really just don’t have the time as I work too much.
>>they roleplay men better than men>>dm better at planning and executing than literally ever other dm i've hadso you're playing a storygame? are you sure you're a male?
>>98696912Yes, you playing tabletop games or having thoughts sounds made up
>>98692477>>98697369Why are you calling people gigachads?
>>98690848I am an AMAB GM who has the odd distinction of having DM'd for more AFAB players in my life than AMAB and my order of preference is far and away mixed group>female group>male group.
>>98690998REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>98690848>roleplay >less sensitiveUh huh>>98697254Nailed it
>>98690848>i am the only maleI'm glad you didn't lie by implying they were female, Oppie. Trans people are very good at constructing fantasies in their heads and I know I just blew like 80 dogwhistles. Most RP communities I'm in are infested with alphabet soup identities and they can generally stay in character if they're not painful drama-whores.
>>98690998>"Just people">Fallacious Appeal to UniversalismBundy, Dahmer and Gacy are also>"Just people"People are shockingly variable, from group to group, and from individual to individual.Not only are they all individuals, whilst also being parts of their respective groups.But no one of them is equal to any other, or even to themselves on the same day.
>>98690848>I am the only maleYour compatriots were born with XY chromosomes. A dress and shaved legs does not mar them female.
>>98690953>im a chudNo, you’re a faggot. Huge difference.
>>98690998Wait so what (who?) am I supposed to play Settlers of Catan on?
>>98690848Wow, it's almost like idpol is all astroturfed bullshit and the culture war is a sham created by the wealthy elite to turn the common person against one another to obfuscate their evils of child rape and cannibalism.
>everyone in the thread screaming about tranny this tranny that because OP said he was the only male in the group>meanwhile, far and away the vast majority of trannies I have encountered in RPG contexts have been FTMWhat do we make of this?
>>98704763You are a statistical outlier?
>>98690953I also am in this situation but they are mostly just asexuals who vigorously support tranny rights and meanwhile I post here. It sometimes affects the game but not much. Just mild cringe. However they have no idea my true views and would permanently ban me if they knew. I would find a new group but I am too attached to our campaign.
>>98690848Name the last five games you played, I'll start>WH40k 3e>Delta Green>Pathfinder 2e>Custom Samurai TTRPG>Root TTRPGor are you just a nogame faggot who exclusively plays DnD 5e?
>>98691219>However I have NEVER seen a female player who would be genuinely interested in the purely mechanical part of the game in the way many men are - learning it just for the sake of it, theorycrafting etc.I had one, but she was a legit diagnosed autist. She was working on her own homebrew system even. The issue was that she was an absolute mathlet and I literally had to explain to her that she can't substitute 2D10 for 1D20. she gave good head and had no issues with doing it in public so I kept her around
>>98703701No, they're specific people, not just people. They're not a broad category.
>>98690848>FakeOP plays games>GayOP only plays with foids because xhe is a closet tranny
>>98705367Serial killers are just people, anon.
>>98690848I once GM for two adult females, gay and tenagertotal rpgs noobswent quite ok, women played not much differenty, maybe a little outside of manosphere box thinking here and there
>>98690848>that OP picture>expecting me to believe a word you say
>>98706203No, they're not a broad category. They're specific people, not just people.
>>98690848Maybe with in-person games. But my experience with online ones is that they usually invite their friends whom all have a flagarant disregard for the lore of the setting and then try to force everyone onto a newer edition of the game because the old one is offensive or something.
>>98695046I mean yeah, but we're really looking for the tallest midget in the circus here.
>>98699118>AMAB>AFABWhat?
>>98713854Assigned Male at Birth and Assigned Female at Birth. It's the current linguistic cease-fire for taking the question of how people "identify" and slow-diagnosed genetic anomalies out of the discussion and focusing on the initial medical assessment of biological sex without reducing the description to genital assessment or starting a slapfight over who gets the word "real."If I'd said "I've DM'd for more women than men" you'd have no idea if I meant "actual vagina-havers" or if I meant "more of my players have thought that they were women than thought they were men."Clunky as it is, it sidesteps that entirely by removing the question of whether the person later agreed with the doctor's initial assessment from the discussion and leaves it entirely up to the doctor's initial impression.
>>98713887I'm way too much of an ESL second-worlder for this.
>>98713939you're better off that way
>>98713887You could just say "transexuals" if you really need to bring them up, otherwise just conduct business as it's always been.
>>98697254>roleplaying in a roleplay game? Woman!
>>98715170it's funny how the nogames crowd has gone so far into the nogames narrative that they themselves are now against games
