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.

The game table, for me and many people I know, is a happy place. An escape. A safe place to be. Somewhere where we can leave the things behind that we want to, and embrace new identities, new experiences, and feel powerful and in control. I have always enjoyed that aspect of gaming, and whether it is video games or tabletop, feeling safe is an important thing for me.
There have been past articles on how to address sensitive topics in your games, as well as building trust as a game master. There is a lot to be said for a GM’s responsibility to create a safe place for players, and even for players to support each other, share the space and make sure that everyone has time to shine. However, there is something I think many players are not aware is in their power, and is in fact their priority, especially female players.
Saying “no”.
