For women, there are so many books, movies, TV shows, etc areound male characters that it's usually pretty easy. <br /><br />For guys, it's often harder to get into the mindset of a female character without going to stereotypes. It takes experience and having more social exposure to women helps. I'll admit, my first female characters were shameful stereotypes. I like to think I've evolved over the years.<br /><br />Rule #1) Don't define the character by their sexual/romantic life. That's just one aspect of the character, and most RPG campaigns are such that this won't be a major element of their actions.Philo Pharynxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14785954267292226321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2482451413021840738.post-55916007851969457712012-07-02T02:20:06.194+10:002012-07-02T02:20:06.194+10:00Been thinking about female gamers for a while myse...Been thinking about female gamers for a while myself, and posted a few thoughts over yonder http://shortymonster.wordpress.com/2012/06/19/women-in-gaming-tabletop-edition/ <br /><br />It is nice to know that there are guys comfortable playing female characters, most of the time when I see it, it's at cons/tournaments and the player has just been handed the character at random, and has no idea what to do with it. I hate to say it, but more often than not, it ends up being downright cringworthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
