 Hum, that isn't my experiance, Traveller
 has been the one game that I
 always have had
 a broad selection of genders willing and eager to
 play.

 Now the
 TML, is a different story...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well, TML has always been loaded w/  a lot of 'grognards' , set in our ways, but there was a time, back when the Higginbothams were around, where Cynthia, as I recall, actually posted more frequently than her husband.

Still, my experience is that most rpg's, and gaming in general, is heavily weighted towards males.

 proposed the Pelvic-Mount Plasma Gun, well within the scope

 hard josh, or at least an elbow-jostle, to the
 'trend' at the time. I was wrong: I was already a
 crazy loony alone thing. That wasn't a 'trend'.
 It was REALITY.

 Is lunacy,
 especially self assigned Lunacy such a bad thing?
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Since most Trav miniatures depicting Battledress usually have an PGMP or FGMP mounted on the shoulder, what's the big deal about mounting it elsewhere?

Also, my parents, both veterans BTW, both thought gaming was silly, perhaps even to the point of irrational, but so what?
