It seems that alot of /tg/ dislike having females in their campaigns.
Yet a select few do enjoy having them.
Tell me your stories tg about having females in your games.
Have they been good RPers or bad time wasters. Let the world know!
>>46538827
>invite girl to game night
>she drives, we get lost, she can't read maps
>arrive, starts talking about how I need to mow the lawn, and how next door neighbor is on the school board
>wont make me a sandwich
>has pms, just wants to drink chardonnay and watch american idol
>told i can't go.to next session, have to go to yankee candle instead
and if you think that's bad youve never met the mother in law
I got 3 different girls in the various games I'm playing or DMing. It's all good.
>kid dragonborn thief in 5e (the socerer want to make her his pet)
>human rogue in 5e
>drow assassin in 5e and shaman/face in SR
They are actually pretty good roleplayers, even if they are sometimes lagging behind in terms of game comprehension.
>>46538857
7.5/10, not terribly original but I laughed
>>46538827
Guessing you mean female players, not characters.
When I first started my group, I invited a girl we all knew on the half-joking principle of 'If I'm going to play D&D in a garage with my friends, there has to be at least one girl present so we're not COMPLETE losers.'
She was okay. Learned a bit slower than everyone else, engaged a bit less, didn't show up too often, but she was nice. After about eight months she got progressively less and less interested, and we all started to like her less and less, until one day we decided we'd try to ease her into the spotlight for the session and get her back into the game. That was the day she decided, thirty minutes or so before the session, that she didn't like us and wasn't coming. There are no real horror stories or anything about her, but she was definitely the least useful/competent/interesting person at the table.
About two weeks before that finale one of the players brought his sister along, and she's an absolute delight. Like the last girl, not too mechanically inclined or much of a roleplayer, but she loves talking about what's going on and being a part of the social situation, and so far that's been fine.
I think girls are less inclined to the game, but can still be pretty cool. I mean, they're on average the less athletic gender (no femrage pls, sexual dimorphism is not a myth), but you still find super buff/cut/strong girls out there.
So is this thread no girls allowed, or do we have to tell stories about every game we've ever played?
>>46538880
I think what the OP is trying to say is tell us your stories about having female players (good or bad) and if you're a female tell us about your experience with other females in the group
>>46538827
I've probably gamed with a dozen or so chicks in the past couple of years. 0 bad experiences. Some of them were incredible fun. Two were kinda shitty. Most were perfectly average.
But then again I've always had pretty good luck with my gaming groups, never met ThatGuy or entered the magical realm.
>>46538827
A good half of my group are girls, though there are only three really core players out of that, the rest are usually too busy to show up every week, or not that engaged.
Honestly though, they're probably the best players in the party, in terms of roleplaying, interesting character ideas, and occasional worldbuilding brainstorms.
Current game is Pathfinder, with these characters:
>Human Monk/War Vet
>Human Feral Druid
>Halfling Pirate Hunter Cleric
All in all, a pretty fun half of the party.
>>46538827
Tell me, OP, do you generally take greentext stories at face value? Because if so, I have a real estate opportunity at a prime location that might interest you.
I've had no bad experiences with girls in TTRPG's so far.
When we were still together, I had a Dark Heresy group going on with my ex and her best friend. Neither of them were very mechanically inclined, and desu her friend felt kind of absent half the time, but my ex was getting really good at RP. I've since left the group, but I occasionally still hear about stuff happening there and they're still going strong without issue.
Also, in my pathfinder campaign on roll20 we were lacking a few people and we got some randoms. One of which was a woman that made amazing characters and did well on both RP and the mechanical side. Shame she had to leave due to schedule changes, she was fun to play with.
I don't like females in my games, I don't like females in my life, I don't like to think about females, I don't like to acknowledge females exist.
I'm hiding this thread now, thanks.
>>46539286
Have a gay old time then!
female added to the table:
every male that doesn't have a girl start romancing her and she accepts and encourage that.the game crash and burn, and even if you like your campaign to be extremely casual, you will find that more that one vagina and more than one male attracted to it leads to serious long terms problems.
this is what naturally happens when you mix not-fugly females with not married/inrelationship men, especially of the "nerdy" type.Exception for catty true lesbians, gay men, nuns, monks, underage girls without pedos arounds, married and faithful women can exist.
don't blame the females: either split the blame or call it nature.
if *EVERYONE* ( or possibly even the female + at least half the males) at the table is mature(?), then you can go *against* the nature for the sake of the game.
But this would mean that every male would have to *place the game's good above his chances at getting into a vagina*. this sounds something extremely unreasonable even for your best friend who absolutely love your campaign and roleplaying.
Why would you force the DM to do so much extra work to contain the players and the players to demand so much from themselves to ignore their nature?Why would you even run the risk?
As a rule of wisdom you should never accept one female in your all male group, with some minor exceptions.
I can see a many-women and many-men gaming group working, but chances are romancing and chatty people would make the table quite casual, which is ok depending on what you want.
>>46539434
Have you had actual games with females? Because while dudes trying to seduce a girl happens, I really wouldn't call it the rule. Most of my games have 1-3 girls.
>>46539458
no sane( and sometimes even insane) unoccupied adult/young adult heterosexual male would give up a chance to romance such a girl, if not ugly.Even my super-heavy roleplaying DM said that he would sacrifice a campaign for pussy.
>Have you had actual games with females?
yes. everything was about romancing her or being butthurt about her talking more with another male. it was terrible.
>>46539501
Never had such problems unless I was playing with awful people. I suggest getting better friends.
>>46538827
Our group had a girl player, she played catfolk barbarian that had really low int and wisdom, and instead of playing it as "ME HIT THING WITH AXE" she played it as a really oblivious, caring but very easily distracted cat
The best part is that she'd always get really good rolls since she built her character well. One time she managed to hit a bomb that was dropped at her from a pterodactyl back at it
She had to roll 2 attack rolls and reflex just to hit it back
And no it wasn't the DM's gf, the DM was already married with children
>>46539501
>everything in this post
Not everyone is horny to the point of lunacy. Grow the fuck up and stop thinking with your dick.
>>46539524
>>46539513
>thinking a game with friends matter more than sex for most males
perhaps you got an exceptionally diverse group member who thinks that ( chances are he fall within some of my exceptions), but it's unlikely.
>>46539555
Been playing for over 10 years with many different people, including strangers. Sorry, I really can't say what you're talking about has been my experience.
Even on the rare occasion that two players ended up dating they've kept that outside the game.
>>46539579
i don't believe you.
you must have been playing with omega spineless males or females who refuse every male in sight.
>>46539555

>>46539434
The atrocious grammar and borderline red-pill attitude lead me to believe you've either just started highschool and the all those hormones are driving you crazy, or you're just incredibly under-socialised. Either way, what you're saying is a crock of shit, and no one but an overblown caricature has or will ever act that way.
>>46539617
Go back to /r9k/, friend. You outed yourself with "omega."
>>46539617
Dude, assuming you're not trolling, you must have been very unlucky in your gaming experiences. During the last few years I've played with several female players, and not one of my fellow male players made an ass of himself trying to get pussy. The problem is either you or the people you hang out with.
>>46539636
>>46539635
>Go back to /r9k/, friend. You outed yourself with "omega."
never been there.
>The atrocious grammar and borderline red-pill attitude lead me to believe you've either just started highschool
sorry: english is not my main language and i litterally learned 90% of what i know about it from reading MtG cards, since it has not been taught in my highscool.
BTW i am 23.
>you're just incredibly under-socialised
i am not greatly socialized, but i can't see men acting any different. All the friends i've talked with about this agree that they would choose vaginas over group, so i feel like i am not only speaking by experience or theory, but also by observations of other people.
note that i don't completely exclude that a group like that might work, but i consider someone in that group might be acting unreasonably ( as is giving up a chance of romancing a person) or be one of the exception i named.
Perhaps i failed to see the fact that a group could survive, if mature enough, with 2 players romancing each other as long as they try their best to not disrupt the game and other players are ok with that.
>>46539730
>All the friends i've talked with about this agree that they would choose vaginas over group
That's just boastful man-talk. If that's not the case, your friends are neanderthals. Sure I had players miss game sessions due to gf-related problems, but I never witnessed male players actually disrupt the game by hitting on female players.
>>46538827
Have 2 very diffrent girls.
First one always plays male characters, can't figure out how to play females. Plays some of the best sadistic asshole personality characters.
The other one mostly plays these strange animal race characters that always end up hilarious and gives the rest of the group a good laugh.
Lately, the other one have started to date a guy in the group (we all saw it coming from a mile away, been waiting and secretly cheering on these two to hook up. Even betting on when it would happen.), so she stopped playing the strange race characters, and now mainly plays regular humanoid females.
And now her and the guy are always playing characters that are dating or end up together, and its starting to annoying the other players since they keep having these long romantic side-plots that the others are forced to listen to.
>>46538827
>Playing Rogue Trader with a small group
>Really everyones first time except mine.
>Best friend insists his girlfriend plays.
>Can never get a decent game of 40k done with her around because he's pussy whipped
>Agree anyway.
>She seems to like it so far, but makes a character that's a little overly greed focused.
>Get to a point where the PCs capture a ship from an insane crew.
>She hoards all of the shit, refuses to sell it.
>It ends up ignored as everyone is well off right now anyway
>Later, a stroke of bad luck causes the crew to lose a large amount of cargo.
>Two other PCs reason that they sell everything but the bare necessities to be able to obtain another contract
>Girl refuses, mortally wounds another PC when they attempt to persuade her
>Huge fight breaks out.
>She seals herself in with all of her belongings.
And that is that until next session.
>>46538827
>females
>>46539821
Tell them to cut that shit out, their romance is a private thing between them and not something that the whole group should have to sit and listen to. If they're reasonable people, they'll understand this.
I play with a girl in my group, she's slightly tumblry (like, referring to NPCs as "cinnamon rolls" and shipping them) but on the whole she's fun to be around.
I feel bad when the bad guys start gunning for her and she gets scared.But that doesn't stop me, naturally, a GM subsists on the terror and tears of their players.
>>46538827
In my group there used to be more women than men, now one more player joined so we're 4 guys and 4 girls. And we have a lot of fun.
>>46539291
Yabba dabba doo!
>>46539730
>All the friends i've talked with about this agree
So... get better friends?
I've played with and run games for mixed groups of male and female friends on many occasions and this sort of thing has literally never come up...
>>46540089
>friends that want free women in my gaming group
>better friends
nah. i'll keep mine. And BTW we have a woman in( but she is already in relationship with another player).
>>46538827
I'd say the issue is no one makes posts to say "This thing is alright I guess". They only really do it when something is really good, or just bad.
>Friend invites girl who's pants he's trying to get into to session
>She spends whole session on phone/silent
>Occasionally talks when she wants to attack but has no idea
>She doesn't come back
>Repeat indefinitely.
>>46540372
congrats on them to be at least able to convince them.
my players seems to be unable to find and convince any of them.
>Get asked to DM a game for all new players by a friend of mine.
>Reluctantly accept.
>4 girls and my friend
>the group is creative and immediately gets into the role playing spirit
>they don't handle every problem with combat
>their party conflict is realistic and they don't get pissy out of character about it, even when it almost led to a TPK
>games are full of homemade snacks that are actually quite healthy
Honestly this is way better than the "serious gamers" I usually play with.
>>46540318
That's your call, just remember that your friends' attitudes don't represent the attitudes of the majority of humanity, or even the majority of people in your own culture or who share your interests.
>>46538827
My D&D group has three girls and one guy in addition to me, and we're doing fine.Two of the girls are lesbians who live together
>>46540372
>>46540391
Sounds like your friend needs to... stop.
I mean really, why take someone they're interested in to a game session? Unless they girl is specifically into tabletop and looking for a game, that's just kinda weird.
>>46539834
To be fair, if you work in a medical, police, or military workplace (or work with people from those backgrounds) "female" is the default term, because they're forced to use it professionally. It bleeds over into civilian life out of habit. There's no malignancy in the term.
>>46540469
Some of the best RP I've ever had in a game was when I was in a game with some theater-types (2 girls and 2 guys, plus me) who had never played tabletop before. They had some trouble with the rules (luckily it was 4e DnD, so it was easy to help them out) but DAMN did they know how to get into character.
>>46540613
You're not wrong, but on the internet the term tends to be used by a particular sort of neckbeard, with a definite amount of malignancy behind it.
>>46539522
Sounds like a fun player with a somewhat unique idea if you don't sperg out about
>catfolk
Would play with.
>>46539730
>english is not my main language
This might be off-topic, but I don't quite believe that English being your alternate language is why you type the way you did. I've studied enough languages (studied, not mastered), and met enough people from various places with varying levels of English, and you don't type/speak like them. They don't conjegate verbs properly, use the wrong particals, misspell things we learn in third grade because no one bothered to teach them 8 hours a day for 12 years. Their grammar isn't a run on sentence, it's their native grammar run through google. You type like someone being lazy, not someone who hasn't grasped the subtlety of how dumb English is.
>23
I regularly read text from people older than you, and people don't just magically get better at writing because they got old. Sorry, I'm being mean now.
Also, I agree with everyone else; you need better friends. I tend to agree with the notion that people tend to be base and crap, but that doesn't mean you have to accept that.
>>46538876
>. I mean, they're on average the less athletic gender (no femrage pls, sexual dimorphism is not a myth),
What does this have to do with tabletop games? Are you LARPing with real swords, shields, horses and orcs?
