How many of us play DnD? Raise your hands. You know what, on second thought, don?t; you?re just making yourself a target for the jerks. Anyway, for those of you who DO play DnD, how many of you play with girls? Or are one? This is the story of Amira Sunfire, the half-elf fighter, and how she changed our weekend Cheetos binged sessions forever...

Me, and a selective group of 5 other gentlemen, would get together on the weekends and play DnD. our adventures took us too the reaches of Rashmen, the sands Calimshan, and the frozen north of Icewind dale, each of us rugged, strong, manly men. [Except me, Halfling rogues FTW] until the day our DM, lets call him Josh, gave us the great news. We were getting a new player. I was told this new player was great, a real life saver and skilled fighter, which was good because our barbarian had an unfortunate encounter with a hydra/rust monster cross breed. [Did I mention our DM was a terrible, terrible person?] Anyway, our DM played with this new character before, and regaled us with tales of the adventures he had with her. However, he forgot to mention one fatal detail, one that I realized stunned on the day she opened the door into our playroom. She had boobs. At least, that was what I first noticed about her anyway. Our DM got up and greeted her like an old friend, while the rest of us stared gawked. It was like meeting some kind of alien. A girl? Playing DnD? Madness!

It didn?t take long for her too enter our session, as a trapped Damsel, a sacrifice for the necromancers we were routing out of an old tomb. However, when I picked the lock on her cage, she proved to be anything than that, as she cleaved the newbie necromancer and his recently raised minions. It?s not so much that she was a girl, but that she was good. Really good, that began to irk me. The party instantly fell in love with her, some of us more than others [our half-elf sorcerer felt they had a special bond] anyway, as we progressed further through the Tomb, she proved invaluable as a meat tank, which was fine, until she started doing my job better than me.



Let me just prop you in on the situation, we encountered a locked door. One that I could not pick. after three attempts. [Im considering burning my dice and getting better, not possessed ones] eventually I just told them "I can always take twenty and...? but before I could finish, she was already rolling her bash check. Natural twenty. The door burst open with a kick, knocking the zombie guard on the other side over. "No time for picks and pricks" she said. Then she laughed, Josh laughed, they all laughed. But I died a little inside. She was violating her place as the meat tank. And then the jokes started. Our end dungeon encounter was with a head necromancer who had that Damn wand of mass hold person. Everyone passed there will saves. Except me, of course. And so, I was held in place as his hordes of undead pricks very slowly swarmed around me. I was willing to take a fireball just to save me at this point, but nooooo.


She burst in again, greater cleaving her way too myself. and so while the rest of the party was looting that damn necromancer of anything of value, including the robes on his back, the half-elf was waiting for me to fall out of that damn bubble of holding "sorry guys, I was waiting for the short one" they all laughed of course. It was at this point I was considering stealing that damn fiery bastard sword, THEN let?s see her break MY doors.

but, I realized something someone, and old drunk in a tavern told me "you lot are all crazy you know, going off to get yourselves killed, but at least you know to work together, basing your strengths of one another, to cover each of your weakness's" it was at this point he threw up on my shoes, but it got me thinking. I shouldn't be afraid of this new fighter; after all, it was HER job to make sure the party was overrun by angry goblin hordes as I picked that damn locked door, and my job to make sure too backstab that troll she?s fighting. I just hope she doesn't check her pack for a while. She had a nice Ice dagger.

That has never happened to me, but I have been that character. The fighter who does stuff they're not meant to? Yeah.
It's really fun, and just requires an appropriate stat balance... or stupid luck with the stat rolls.
I do have 2 girls in my group. One I'm dating, the other is the younger sister of another member. They play a fighter and a barbarian respectively, and both do a fine job of it.

I usually play with a girl. She's the girlfriend of a friend who also plays. We don't DnD, though, mind you. Mostly Vampire: The Masquerade, with some occasional Fallout when we need a change of pace. She's a great player. She and I are the best roleplayers at the table. While everyone is busy metagaming, we engage in deep, in-character conversations. At least our GM is smart enough to give us XP for good roleplaying.

My online D&D game currently has three females to five males. My Vampire the Masquerade game has 1 female to 3 males. Female role players are not that uncommon for me.
On the other hand, I do feel bad for you unlucky session. I know how that goes. It feels awful.

Wish I played DnD.
Finding like minded people would be hard though.

I apologise for how much of a noob I am going to sound but:
Is there no way for you to kill her off?
Not in RL obviously, but is there a PvP system in DnD.

Im guessing your talking about tabletop and not online, so I dont get how it all works but surely a sneaky rogue such as yourself could deal a critical backstab as shes distracted by some fancy loot.

Apologies again, I know nothing of tabletop RPGs.

Yeah I play with a girl. Its the girlfriend of one of my buddies and she's does just as well as everyone else. She's one of the better RPers in the campaign I'm running now.
So what? Girls can play D&D.

I happen to be the girl in my D&D groups. I don't notice much of a difference at all. I'm just treated like one of the guys. I haven't sensed any bad blood or favoritism. Go go gender equality?

Technically there is a "pvp" system in D&D, but killing other players is very frowned on. Because of the simple fact: DMs hate it when players die. Well, most do. Because then the player needs to roll up a character, which takes time. If they're still wanted in. Which she probably would be.

What the DM should do is make it so that your stealth-oriented skills are more necessary.

I tried to create a D&D group at school, but failed miserably. Even guys as nerdy as me detest D&D! I don't ever want to see the reaction to a girl in my age slot (13-15) being asked to play.

Well, the problem with killing her off is that...well, she does a damn good job. much better than our previous fighter [whos is spending his DnD time sulking in a corner, playing Halo] i decided to have a chat with this new player and after she stopped laughing, she told me she would stop stealing my thunder.

To be fair, if she's the one who manages to grab your collar as you fall off the cliff (metaphorically obviously) then I can't see why you're complaining. Actually, yeah I can. I'm guessing it's more the comments than the actions themselves that bother you? There's a dude on L4D who just recently has been annoying me. He's a great guy, but when I fail to see a witch or get pounced, it's that "That was REALLY clever 'smith. Try not to do it again" comment that annoys me. But hey, I'd rather have his shotgun blasting the witch off me than not having his shotgun at all.

I am usually the DM, but I've seen this kind of thing before. There's always a player whose character is not the optimal class for a situation, but s/he still manages to outdo the character who has maxed ranks thanks to a lucky die roll. This is part of the fun of D&D for me though. The randomness makes for fun storytelling. For example, in a campaign I ran the crazy half-elf fighter/swashbuckler was 9th level with a good Con score. He encountered a basilisk, which was relatively low powered compared to him at that point. If he rolled anything above a 1 he would survive the petrifying gaze, but he rolled a 1 and got turned into a lawn ornament. After defeating the nasty, the rest of the party tried casting a Stone to Flesh spell. This spell requires the target to make another Fortitude save, which the half-elf should have made easily. He rolled a 1. Again. This happens all the time.
