Women in Gaming

Stumbled on this interesting article about women in roleplaying. Thought it might be of interest to folks here.

Interesting article indeed

Kind of interesting to know there has almost always been a female demographic to that kind of stuff, regardless of how small it is. What a change from what I see today!

It's a very interesting article. I will have to take the time to read the entire thing, since I only read the first three paragraphs. When it comes to role-plays like D&D, I prefer to play as a male character any ways, so not having alot of female roles doesn't bother me much.

Females have always been a part of gaming since it's conception, albeit in smaller numbers. It isn't good or bad, it just is. White/Asian men are just more likely to be a part of the genre and so the market is centred towards them. There isn't an issue of "diversity" in gaming, it's a niche hobby and that's okay. Never have I once excluded or seen anyone excluded from the table except for "that guys".
