Are there any other women out there?

Serious question. I was in an all girl D&D group in high school and (I know I'm dreaming) would love to find one in Colorado. Has anyone else been in an all female RPG group before?

Welcome aboard. I have not encountered such a thing, but you never know. You might be able to build your own group of female gamers with a little persistence.
Check out the player registry and campaign invitations for games and gamers near you.
Good luck in your search. :)

All female? Well, my being there would ruin that. I do tend to run a half female group. I have always had women playing in my game. The only time I had a 100% male group was the high school boys, that does kind of follow. Although I did get the occasional girl in that even.

I suppose my style makes women comfortable. One of my players has been with me for 31 years, and she isn't my wife.

Sure enough. Wendy's in our Shadowrun group and in the other DnD group. Check out the Denver Meetup Group (see my sig). We Shadowrun on Wednesdays and Wendy plays in the DnD group on Sundays (I do Shadowrun 4th on Sundays).

That's assuming you're in the Denver area of course :D (Edit: I see you're in Ft Collins; well it's not too far :) ).

And welcome.

If your interested in an online clan sort of thing (I know not D&D...) but my wife runs an all girl clan on Guildwars. They are actually pretty good too.

Welcome to the community! For finding players the Player Registry (http://www.penandpapergames.com/forums/memberlist.php) is an invaluable tool and for recruiting players as a DM the Campaign Invitations (http://www.penandpapergames.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=17) forum is perfect. Please join us in on any of the various topics being discussed in the forums. For best results taking the initiative to contact players in your area should greatly increase your chances of finding others to game with. Many players are in groups that have openings but since they aren't the GM they don't go out of their way to recruit new players for the game. I wish you the best of luck in finding gaming bliss in the near future.

Hello and welcome aboard. Good luck in your search. I personally like to have a mix when I DM a group. I find that it makes for more interesting gaming.

I've never played guildwars, so I have no idea what that's like, nor have I ever played an online non-computer-game RPG. I admit I'm conused on how that works. Are there ways to roll dice? Do people cheat? I like using pencils and paper and small shiny objects to determine my fate.

The primary fun thing about an all girl game is that any in-game interactions don't carry over into real life. You can flirt outrageously with your best friend in game, and there is no awkwardness or did-she-really-mean-that to contend with. (Plus we also read Cosmo, cut me some slack it was high school)

Not that I don't enjoy playing with a mixed group or an all guy group, it's just a very different dynamic.

Ladies' D&D also involves cookie dough. :D

Thanks for the welcome y'all!

I was in an all girl DnD group in college. I'm actually kind of seeking the same - but in NYC. Way too far from Colorado.

I totally understand about the flirting. While I played a fourteen year old boy who was in love with the Blacksmith's daughter - two of the other player's characters fell in love. It was sweet!

Melefresh,
who likes to make dinner for her gaming groups

[nijineko]

heh. one of my characters and one of the dm's characters fell in love and got married. but with both of us being guys, plus our own native worldviews, it was too weird to rp it. so we discussed it out of game and brainstormed and worked out all the particulars. that worked nicely for us. and they are very happy together, thank you.

although she (my character) has a few aggravating habits that drives him (the dm's character) up the wall. he never could get her to stop hording food. (long story). and the superstitious bit is occasionally trying. plus her sneaking around begging... (it's amazing, people will actually give stuff away!!! he's rich....)

he keeps hoping that she will grow out of it. she's still in her teens, and he's in his 40's. they were originally bethrothed to be married, but she ran away from it, not wanting to marry an "old man"; and he had just lost his wife, and didn't want the arrainged marriage. so he left the country.

they ran into each other out in the world by being in the same adventuring party, and wound up falling into love with each other. imagine their shock when they found out who each other was....

I'm afraid that I'm no-where near Colorado, but I too wonder where my fellow female gamers are. My first D&D group was split pretty equally down the middle as far as gender goes, but since I came to the East Coast, most of the table-top role-playing groups I've run into have been all- or mostly-male.

The main reason that I found this forum was because I picked up a book by Shelly Mazzanoble called confessions of a part-time sorceress. It is a D&D book from the female point of view. so far very entertaining, and enlightening as to getting into a female psyche.
