There may have been a thread like this before, but I won't bother looking.

So, are many people here on Dakka girls? I always find our games club full of guys, and I have no problem with that, but it can be good to have a game with another woman once and a while. The few other women in gaming I know are the girlfriends of guys who game.

Seriously, I don't see many women playing 40k or Warmachine here in Toronto. I've tried to recruit both male and female friends of mine, and it's almost entirely the guys who are interested to try it - I've only had one female friend try a game, whereas I've convinced at least 12 male friends to give it a go. The one woman who *was* interested was a ringer though - apparently working as a contractor and being very familiar with the difference between a 6x8 and a 6x6 gave her the ability to accurately eyeball distances down to the quarter inch (shudder), and she smoked me in a Warmachine battlebox game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/307222.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/307222.page GMT 40k (or similar strategy games).

I've always thought this funny.

A couple of years ago when I was still married, I was going to a VTES tournement (vampire card game), my wife was playing and had only the slightest bit of experience. I told her to wear this awesome top that showed her 'girls' off while leaving her stomach bare with a tight pair of jeans. She whooped so much a$$ with her deck against hard pipe-hittin' players and had almost NO experience.

Seriously though, after a while going to tournaments where your the only woman gets a little irritating after a while since, when it comes down to it, you never [i]really[/i] get treated like one of "The guys" until everyone knows you really well and even then new people always treat you differently.

One other thing that I've noticed here, is that most of you only know girlfriends or wives who play their husband/boyfriends game. VermGho5t mentioned his sister played, which is alot like me. I was brought up with three brothers. That's probably why I play these types of games.

The underestimation thing gets old after awhile. Winning games because the guy your playing against assumes you don't know the rules or won't play aggressively or play to win gets tiresome since you can't find a real challenge. Once people get to know you though they don't pull punches.

Another thing I've noticed is that guys always are surprised by the armies I have. No, I don't play SoBs. Yes, your heard me right, I have an SM army. And no, the SM army is not composed of women.

Supposedly everyone is. Half-gay, I mean.



The only female gamers I've actually played with (in-game, I mean) have been RPG players. D&D, primarily. One was the DM's girlfriend (later his wife), and the other was the wife of another player. They were both legitimately good players though, for the most part. Although the tendency of one to play useless bards was a bit annoying after awhile, as she was usually the first to get dropped in a straight-up fight.

Wargaming though...well, my last girlfriend played Flames of War with me once. It was okay. We played Axis and Allies once or twice too. It's not really something I want to discuss.

Don't have many females at my FLGS. Except for the strippers who come in dressed for work (long story), they seem to just be gamers. A bit more competitive. Less fluff, more competitive. One thing I have noticed, and that I appreciate; is that they seem to have more of a "if it's legal, roll with it!" attitude. No fluff bunnies here! Blind, crippled, or crazy; if it's in the book it's good for the tabletop! I appreciate that in an opponent. I find it's more of a gaming stretch.

And they're fun to talk with. It's different.

As far as girls not being tactical; the ones who are not, are prob. not interested in these games, and are doing something else. The ones who ARE doing this as something more than trying to spend some time with the b/f tend to be rather competitive or they don't last long.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/307940.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/307940.page GMT FB and Bloodbowl) and another who played Mordians.

Again, most of the XX gamers I've encountered have been rpgers, or were drawn in by the dollies (though that defines most folk, methinks), but I've met a fair amount who do the miniatures thing, though interestingly, mostly Warlord, Warmachine/Hordes (which I think has a higher rate of women enthusiasts, but that may be just perception) and Battletech, of all things. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/307941.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/307941.page GMT 40k. Obviously there are a lot of male players that don't have a good grasp of the tactics... so probably why we don't see many females that win a lot is simply because there are less of them that play the game. I have met two women who play 40k at GTs. The first one played orks and tended to lament on how the army had lost its flavor in 3rd edition since most of their zaniness had been dropped from the rules. I don't think she won a single a game to be honest. The next one I met had a beautifully painted eldar army and told me she was into the army appearance and fluff over performance.

Most of the women I have met that play tend to play eldar and I believe that is because this race allows you to field female warriors such as Howling Banshees. Some of us like to be able to identify with our armies.
My last girlfriend was a solid 40k player and really was into all aspects of the full... so they do indeed exist.

There are likely many factors, and the "stinking male mosh-pit" that are many gaming stores and clubs may be a part of it, but that doesn't explain those of us men who game at home with "normal" friends but who's spouses who otherwise seem to enjoy our company and doing things together just don't click with wargames.

My boyfriend in undergraduate got me to play Warhammer fantasy because I was interested in the dragon models as well as Alarielle and the maiden guard. I started with painting and modifying the models but I actually liked the game when I tried it so I been playing since the late 90s. I started wood elves after high elves and I painted some dark elves but I never really played them.

I got into 40k a bit later playing Eldar since I like elves and I play a mostly jet bike army sort of like future knights. Also play Tyranids because I liked Aliens and Starship Troopers.

Got into Lord of the Rings because of the movies. I lost interest after awhile though.

I make competitive lists but I am not really all that into tournaments. I sometimes go because my boyfriend does or because I want to play other people then those at the local game store. As far as tournaments, I have a serious problem that I start getting a huge headache somewhere about the 3rd game a few hours into the tournament. Not sure if its because I think to much, stress or because of the environment. I have that issue for Magic and other games. Tournaments really should have short snack/water breaks and time to walk around a little or just sit down between games. I did like Ardboys because it gave me a chance to play 3500 fantasy games which I do not get to do very often.

I find the Swooping hawks comment funny. They are fun to paint and mod because of the angel wings but they stay in my display case if I am playing competitively.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/308758.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/308758.page GMT FB and Bloodbowl) and another who played Mordians.

When females join us it changes the tone somewhat. It's a little disruptive, but fun every once in a while.

I certainly don't have a problem if a woman is interested in 40K, and I'll do my best not to treat her differently. I reserve judgement on skills and commitment till I've seen a person play. If someone shows me a real interest, I'm happy to make a new friend. So many people however, male or female, go wherever the wind blows socially speaking. Most of the women I've met at game stores or conventions are girlfiends or wives, tagging along.

I can well believe that most women would rather play MMO's, roleplaying games, or just about anything else than miniature wargaming. Not all women, but most. I am a fairly artistic person, and I spend a lot of time in hobby and craft stores, art stores, even fabric stores. I look for stuff that would enhance my hobbies. My reception there is probably as interesting as what girls get in game shops. Mild interest, followed by a sort of "what are you doing here?" stare. Same thing when I tried church services by myself.

I'm not ugly, and I know how to dress appropriately, and I feel like I'm well spoken and polite.

"Do they have one with pigtails? I could do that."

Is this ever a hobby turn off issue for the femoverlords? I mostly see the kids standing around in shock when a female comes in, but was wondering if this ever became a situation? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/309328.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/309328.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/309330.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/309330.page GMT
So all we need is a big eyed, small mouthed, blue haired army in
miniskirts and wielding giant machine guns and we'd have instant
fangirls?

Ugh, no. Has dakka already forgotten the hilariously bad [url=http://warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79993&highlight=desu+brigade]desu brigade[/url]?

Warhams should be for MEN ONLY. Girls can make THEIR OWN TREEHOUSE to play with dollies. Girls are everywhere already and the only time I get to have some fun times alone with sweaty bros talking about all our awesome accomplishments and tell some homoerotic humor is in the locker room and hobby stores. Please don't take those away.

Haha. I still don't get why people try to dress like something way out of their league. A few of my nerd-group friends want me to go cosplaying with them, just for humor's sake, at the annual baltimore convention. However, if I did this I'll wait 'til I actually get an appropriate sixpack and beefier muscles in order to try that which means another 2-3 bulk/cut cycles. Cosplay is just a nice, nerdy side-effect . Funny enough, it's all those fat kids who dress up as Goku. Go figure. I know I'm gonna regret using google to search for "spartan 300 cosplay".]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/309501.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/309501.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/309509.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/212779/309509.page GMT
