Reply #97: We were a pretty open-minded group, but [View All]

[NewJeffCT]

Our group was pretty open-minded - the DM even kicked out a couple of new guys once because he didn't like their (out of game) racist attitudes - and the DM was a Republican, so you know these new guys were pretty bad. But, the one thing we drew the line on was cross-gender role playing. I've found too many guys over the years that play women tend to play them as slutty porn star stereotypes, or the cold ice queen tough girl or whatever. Playing dwarves or elves was fine, as long as one played the same sex.

But, every group is different. And, we did notice that when our group did have female players, the guys tended to be on better behavior, both in & out of game. So, maybe it would have worked out over the longer-term.
