Pack, Herd, Pride or Lone

Loner for the most part. Sometimes I’ll join in on a pride, either for practical reasons (projects, work etc.), opportunistic ones (carpool etc.) or when engaging in group activities with my closest friends.

I thought we'd all be lone's with prides we dip in and out of, I think its a very autistic thing. I think a lot of NT's want us to be in herds whereas they want to be the pack watching over and directing us.

I used to love playing D&D, for some reasons minotaurs were always South African! I've not played for years and years, I think theres quite a long waiting list to into a game in many areas. Taught my son to play and he still does some 30 years later, I used to take him to games workshop on a saturday morning and leave him there whilst my daughter and I went shopping. I'd go back and find him backed into a corner by about 6 other kids who played together and have to tell him how to beat them. The staff loved me, even though I rarely spent any money in there.

That’s awesome that you used to play D&D, I bet you were a blast to play with lol. I’m sorry that it doesn’t sound like you have a group to play with. I’m lucky I have a handful of guys that understand when I lock up during a botched improvisation or forget how to roll for crits. Maybe we should have an NAS D&D group lol

I think a lot of women see D&D as a male thing, one of my friends, years ago, said she and another friend had played it, but stopped because they didn't think having to kill things was "nice"!!!??!!! I just thought WTF, I think this says a lot, I'm not sure what, but I think theres a bit of social commentary and stuff about social expectations in there.

I don't play computer games, I never learned how to use the controls, but I did watch and try and get involved a bit, but I got put off when the computer started taking over and doing more stuff for you, it seemed like a loss of control and a loss of everything i liked about D&D.

Yeah the group I’m with is all guys, which is frankly a bummer. It would be even more fun with more diversity. I often play as female characters just to try and even out the testosterone levels a little bit lol.

I keep trying to convince all our wives to join but I think they all believe we need our “guy time” or whatever

I also prefer magic over tech in D&D, though recently I did a fantasy 1920’s setting and that was pretty fun. It was a cool combo of both old school guns with minimal amounts of magic smattered in. Neat stuff.

I'm a brilliant general, I think one of the problems for me and maybe other women too, is the fact that it's mostly men who play.

I think it depends on what worlds you play in too, I like medieval or ancient ones rather than the more sci-fi based ones, I can do magic but not tech. We decided that we really had a to have Luggage, from the Terry Pratchet novels, only it got bit by a werwolf and we ended up with WereLuggage, really not a good team mate when it went off on one, lol
