jadedmusingsApparently, the fact that there are women who enjoy tabletop rpgs and gaming in general is still fascinating. Here's what happened tonight when I nicked up under my GM moniker for my Triumph session in front of a newcomer to the community:
[19:10:40] * JadeNSC is now known as MistressGM
[19:10:44] <Lucia`> I think Kate might have left to get some groceries.
[19:10:46] <Desmond> Maybe she is eating
[19:11:00] <MistressGM> Well, I'm not going to keep people waiting.
[19:11:13] <Cidsama> a Female GM? O_O
[19:11:17] <ArianCougar> ...
[19:11:23] <CuppaCoffee> Stop.
[19:11:26] <CuppaCoffee> Like, right now. >_>
[19:11:27] <ArianCougar> Wow, you're just *swimming* in tact today.
[19:11:28] * Lucia` smacks Cid.
[19:11:39] <Cidsama> Well not like it says Genders on here...
[19:11:49] <CuppaCoffee> There are women on the internet. Get over it.
[19:11:49] <ArianCougar> That's not an excuse.
[19:11:56] * Joins: CeltREI (CeltREI@72-56-178-209.pools.spcsdns.net)
[19:12:11] <Cidsama> yes I know women are on the net...
[19:12:12] * Quits: CeltREI (CeltREI@72-56-178-209.pools.spcsdns.net) (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[19:12:16] * Joins: CeltREI (CeltREI@72-56-178-209.pools.spcsdns.net)
[19:13:10] <CuppaCoffee> It's not funny when you go 'female GMs!', man. Women game. Women run games. This might have been something to make noise over, oh, say, twenty years ago.
[19:13:37] <Cidsama> I've just never seen a female GM before is all, sorry :(
[19:13:46] <Madou> Now you have.
[19:14:14] <CeltREI> We actually have quiet a few ;)
[19:14:24] <Kuzizi> :3
[19:14:38] <Arcomage> Wow. There's actually a session with a less than full group? That's very much a novelty.
[19:14:52] <MistressGM> ...
[19:14:53] <CeltREI> Where?
[19:15:01] <Madou> In general, for most things, you may wish to mute your surprise at any "female X" - or, for that matter, "white/black/asian/naturally polka-dotted X", for any X.
[19:15:04] <Hjre> No, I've done sessions with less than 6 before.
[19:15:05] <Gullwhacker> I'm signed up for a session on Tuesday, and Skoldorf's busy smithing.
[19:15:14] <MistressGM> CidSama: Yes, I have boobs. Such a novelty, I know.
[19:15:14] <ArianCougar> Madou: $group X, even.
[19:15:27] <Arcomage> So have I, but that was the very first session of the campaign before a lot of people were even approved, I think.
[19:15:49] <Cidsama> MissGM it's not the fact you got boobs.... alot of guys have boobs now cause of dollar menus...
[19:15:52] * Arcomage is not currently signed to anything but is level 4 and should slow down a tad. I've been rather active lately.
[19:16:07] <ArianCougar> ...
[19:16:11] <MistressGM> ...right. Fat jokes too. Woo.
[19:16:14] * KadeRaine will too after tonoght
[19:16:19] <ArianCougar> Tact. You no has it at _all_.
[19:16:26] <Madou> Cid: not the route you want to go.
[19:16:37] * Desmond wishes to enter a session if it were possible, but things to do are things to do unfortunately
[19:16:45] <Arcomage> Negotiation check - fail.
[19:16:51] <Madou> Etiquette, actually
[19:16:54] <Arcomage> Ah, yes.
[19:17:00] <ArianCougar> Or Smooth Talk.
[19:17:00] * CeltREI would love to be in a session!
[19:17:24] <Cidsama> What can I say, I think I'm more easily aimed at being a villan...
[19:17:26] <CuppaCoffee> Here's an idea. Stop justifying going :O! over anything which isn't white, middle class and male.
[19:17:36] <CuppaCoffee> It's not villainous, it's just irritating.
[19:17:49] <ArianCougar> It's not manly, either.
[19:18:09] <Vari> Cid, stop being an ass. We tend to not care about those things here.
[19:18:21] <Cidsama> Then I'll not talk.
Yeah, they did sort of rake him over the coals, but apparently he's caused trouble before. I'm rather proud of them, actually. I wish I'd spotted him talking right off the bat, but I was busy prepping in another room, otherwise I would have been a bit harder on him than I was.
