Real Girls Gaming
It seems the gamer girl stereotype has shifted, where once we were unbearably unsightly; we now seem to be naked. When I became aware of this strange trend, I laughed, since I was sure this wasn’t the case (being of the gaming in clothes persuasion). But my search for attired ladies playing games only managed to support this odd nude gaming moniker (found so many images of naked ladies tangled in controllers). Though all these ladies are beautiful (clearly not unsightly) and have lovely breasts (who doesn’t like boobs!), it felt a little unbalanced. We really don’t all play naked.
Thus my quest was born! To collect as many images of clothed ladies actually playing games (not just posing with a controller).
That’s how it started anyway. It has since morphed into anything rah-rah women gaming, but the prudish part is staying!!
Know of something that would fit right in? Send it over or tell me about it.

I played many games in the past, not so much in the current but last summer I did my girls Munchkin to play. They took to the game fast and really live the idea that fun is more important than getting the rules exactly right. :)
With TableTop we were inspired to get a gaming table and start exploring even more games. The girls love Zombie Dice and Gloom from the show but also really like playing Dixit. The thing they really love is the opportunity to tell a story so our Gloom games tend to be very lengthy.
I’ve also taught my girlfriend Carcassonne and we’ve also played rounds of Munchkin and Gloom.
Here’s my girls getting started on another round of Gloom.

Our family has had game nights ever since my kids were little and we continue to play games even though my son is about to head off to college and my younger two are both teens. It’s a great way to bring everyone together. And we’ve extended our love of games to other members of the family, including my nieces and nephews. Here are some of them (along with my lovely wife) in the middle of a rousing introduction to what my kids affectionately call “The Train Game”. :-)

We’ve always played games in our house, and Tabletop has been a wonderful introduction to new and fun games that bring together the whole family! Here’s a shot from this evening, when my wife and I sat down with the kids to dream up some dreariness in a hilarious game of “Gloom”. (And, of course, after watching the Tabletop episode, my son and I couldn’t resist over-alliterating EVERYTHING!)
Many thanks to everyone who makes Tabletop so great - it’s not just a ton of fun, it inspires a ton of fun that my whole family can have *together*, and that’s a wonderful thing.-Tony
