My girlfriend was wandering how many other female gamers were (or finished) going through the AP ?

I thought it was a good question to ask around here.

She plays the a Earthbreaker-yielding female half-Orc Fighter of the RotRL party I DM. I have another female playing a female Shoanti Axe-clan Barbarian and two male players playing a male Dwaf Cleric (Irori) and a female Varisian Enchanting Bard.

I have a husband wife combo in my group that I DM.

She plays a Half-Orc Barbarian who confiscated Nualia's armor for herself.

I played in a short-lived RotRL game and my wife played a gnome druid. We got about halfway through the first module before the group imploded due to IRL schedule conflicts.

One of the two groups I DM through ROTRL has 3 female Players (5+DM Group)

We are at one third of Skinsaw

Their characters are:
human Sorcerer (Draconic Bloodline)
elf bard
human Ranger (TWF Style, on her way to become a Sable Company Hippogriff Rider)

My family is in the final installment of the Rise of the Runelords. My wife plays a two-handed sword fighter. My two daughters play a wizard and an archer. My two boys also play but that means our group is three females and two males.

I have two women playing in my gestalt ROTRL campaign - my sweety (playing a variant elemental (fire) elf druid/cleric of Desna) and our roommate (playing a dwarven fighter/rogue). Two other gentlemen (human ranger/wizard and goliath fighter/cleric of Irori) round out the rest of my group.

My sweety originally made her character for a homebrew campaign in the Hamunaptra setting that fell through (but she really wanted to play her), and our roommate is new to gaming (and avoiding spellcasting classes like the plague...) ;)

Thank you all for the quick responses! I knew I would get some good stuff around here :).

I've had four women playing in my ROTRL game (started with 3 women and 2 men). Often had just three women playing, though down to one at the moment.

I am running a RotRL campaign using 7th Sea rules. We have a heavily pregnant gamer. Just wondering how other DM's have changed the AP to avoid the Lamashu/ "Mother of Monsters" aspects to avoid problems?
Also her PC's contact is with Hannah, so i will play down the post-coital birth control aspects of her job.

There are two husband-and-wife teams in the game I'm DMing, one of which is me and my wife. We're just about to finish Burnt Offerings.

Three of the six in my 4th Edition RotR game.

My girlfriend is not of a noble family, but she is playing two gestalt characters: a gnome, female druid/bard and a half-orc, male barbarian/ranger

I have three women and two men in my group.

Right now, 3 women. My wife and two of her friends. We also have their husband/boyfriend with us, and two other guys, for a total of 5 guys (including me). It's a really large group.

I have two women in the group I'm running through right now.

I have zero women in my Pathfinder RPG Rise of the Runelords campaign. Even if there was a woman who wanted to join the group and she seemed nice, I doubt we would let her in. Nothing against women, it's just kind of a guys D&D night and we'd rather not change that.

We currently have one female player in our RotRL game, she is playing a Varisian Druid.

Two women in our RoTL group. My wife and another player's wife.

Over the course of my RotRL game, I had eight players (only ever six at a time, thank goodness). Five of them were women.

Note: If you are a women, please don't be offended. I have gamed with several woman and the experience was fun. The advantage of my normal all male gaming group is that we have known each other and played together in the same group for over 15 years. That kind of history is hard to beat.

Oh, and I forgot to mention. I am dming a slightly modified RotR for a group of eight. So far we are nearing the end of the first module and preparing for the second.

While my current homebrew campaign is not strictly RotRL, I have run Thistletop, The Catacombs of Wrath (both times), Fort Rannick, and Jorgenfist, interspersed with my own advantures and other Pathfinder modules, so I figure it counts.

That said, two of my players are female. The group originally consisted of three guys and two girls, but one guy quit due to personal issues after Thistletop, and two more guys joined. Incidentally, the party itself is even more male-heavy, because one of the female players has a male character.

Me and Immora both play in the RotRL. Mine is a Cleric/Human Paragon/Dawnflower Dervish and she is a Rogue/Beguiler/Human Paragon. No other women though. We did have three in our Curse of the Crimson throne but one of us left so we're down to two(GM and player).

My wife plays with me. I'm the DM of the RofRL campaign.

She's the human Shoanti Ranger/Psychic Warrior, specializing in ranged combat.

We are also players together in several games. She doesn't like to DM, though.

Now that I am running CotCT I have three female players.

I'm GMing a slightly modified 6 player (thanks Joey Virtue) version of RotRL. They're about to head down to the Hambley farm. Two of the 6 players are ladies. One is my girlfriend, who plays a gnome bard/ cleric of Shelyn, the other is a gnome druid. Don't know why the chicks love gnomes so much.

And, in another "Threadjack"

Actually, 2/3 of our current gaming group are women. One of which is my RL wife (a.k.a. Gamer Girrl), who is also the GM of the Curse of the Crimson Throne campaign that we are running in parallel.

Here are some ideas

Hope it can help.

... Nothing against women, it's just kind of a guys D&D night and we'd rather not change that.

But with the kids and jobs we use the games as "An evening with friends" rather than "Guys' night out". Maybe in a few years we'll have both.

Actually, I'm curious to find out if there are any all-girl groups out there. I've heard of one group around here, but I'd love to hear how those group dynamics work.

I have been a gamer girl since the mid 80s. I've played in female-heavy and male-heavy groups, but my favorites have a good mix of both genders. My normal experience has been about 2 or 3 girls to about 3 or 4 guys. However, I tend to be the only girl that GM's.

Currently, I am running RotRL and absolutely loving it! The players are having a blast as well, from what I can tell. The party consists of:

1) Jacamo, a male Varisian sorcerer of fire-elemental bloodline, played by my husband. He and I have been active gamers since we met back in the early 90s. He's a lot more into other games than I am, though. I tend to stick to D&D.
2) Eoletta, a female Varisian priestess of Desna, twin sister Jacamo, played by my younger sister. She's just getting back into gaming, having not played since 2nd ed.
3) Xandu, a male Varisian fighter, played by a male friend. He started gaming when 3rd ed came out, then dropped out for about 4 years, and then started back in about 2 years ago.
4) Rico, a male Chelaxian rogue, played by a male friend who is also just starting to get back into gaming.
5) Amasali, a female half-elf ranger, played by a female friend and co-worker who has never gamed before in her life. Incidentally, she is the most eager to get us together to play! Yay!

I haven't been so excited about running a game in a long time. When I read Burnt Offerings, I couldn't wait to get some people together and run it. And with all of the dramatic role-playing opportunities presented, I knew I'd want a good mix of male and female players.

I just started running a RotRL campaign with 2 women and 4 men playing. One of the women is my wife - it is her first time gaming, and she's pretty much playing entirely out of love. I'm not sure if she will stick with it, but it is very sweet for her to try.

The other woman is the fiance of another of our players, and she's way into playing D&D.

The most interesting thing in my mind is both of the women are playing male characters, and the aforementioned fiance of the second woman in the group is playing a female character. Gender specific pronouns are a bit confusing as one can imagine.

All in all, it is a good group of friends, and I'm hoping my wife sticks with it. Time will tell.

I am the only female in the ROTRL I play in.

I have done a couple games with SunshineGrrrl and Immora.

Both groups are different and have different dynamics, but I enjoy the change of pace.

I started RoTL about a year ago. We didn't finish, but got almost through the first book. Since there were no set pieces in the beginning and half the time my players would be missing, I added a few of my own. One was a murder mystery that was to unfold to time in with the second book, about the same time as the lumber mill scene.

It involved a fat elf named Nebis Chondalwood (FR rip-off, I know, but they didn't) who ran a trinkets shop. He could make dollhouses that lit up and such, but was best known for his singing tankards and dancing crockery. Nebis's death was actually an accident, he miscast animate object and tripped over a toy on the stairs and fell to his death. However, Nebis's home and business were a disaster, he owed everyone in town money and was rumoured to have fallen in with the Sczarni.

Part of introducing the PCs to a few NPCs and some potential side quests involved a trip to the Hagfish, where they were hellbent on winning the pouch of silver. (They did.) There they met two NPC sisters who were fighting over a will. (I stole this from the WoTC site.) The sisters happened to activate the mustard pot on the buffet table and chaos ensued. There was a 10' radius of dusseldorf mustard, sauerkraut everywhere and lots of bad schnitzel jokes. The barkeep told the PCs Nebis had given them the crock in payment of his tab and the barkeep, wanting to stay in favour of his fellow townspeople and merchants, accepted it. He "never liked the damned thing" and gladly gave it to the PCs when they asked for it. Henceforth, our warlock had a mustard pot that 1/day could cast a non-flammable grease spell.

Needless to say, the mustard pot was the best thing that happened to that campaign. I meant to write stats for it, but the game fell under shortly thereafter. The PCs were also extremely interested in meeting Nebis, who also enchanted banners at the festival that flew in every possible direction except up. They also often hit the keynote speaker in the face.

I'm going to start a RofRL campaign in a couple/three months, and my wife will be playing in it...

She is thinking of playing a human monk...

-That One Digitalelf Fellow-

Well it goes without saying but I'm GMing RoTRL and Solnes is playing. So just the one lady on this end.

One female which is playing a pharasma-worshipping halfling barbarian from Thuvia

I finished this AP a little while ago and had two female players at my table.

Now that I am running CotCT I have three female players.

My group has 1 women and 3 men.

My group has two female players out of the eight.

(We also have two female non-players - a two year-old daughter of two of our players, and a 13 year-old daughter of another player, recruited to babysit the three year-old; the singing was getting distracting.)

The DM's wife plays a Gnome sorcerer with a riding dog familiar (we nicknamed her the Goblin's God of Death.) They're both long-term, hardcore D&D players.

The player's wife is currently playing a Varisian Dancing Bard to the hilt. She likes playing with us, but prefers her other character in a 1st edition Ravenloft game. (which starts at 11 pm!!)

My g/f is a player and was in our Shackeld City campaign...we also have another female in one of our groups...

The g/f has tried her hand a DMing a bit and might grow into an excellent DM some day...She is also one of the better RPers in the group if not the best...and she's only 22...plenty of time to grow into gaming still

My RotRL game is all women.

My wife is a human Paladin of Sarenrae attached to a Priestess who is working with Father Zantus.

We also have a half-elf rogue that is basically doing some errands for the Cyphermages up in Riddleport; a local half-elf druid that Zantus has contacted to represent the Green Faith in the temple rededication, and a wizard from the Shadow Academy over in Garindan (sorry if I bobbled the names, I don't have my notes accessable on vacation).

They have just completed the Glassworks/Catacombs of Wrath. I have a few 'in-town' tasks for them to complete to level up before moving on to Thisletop, but they will probably be ready.

As a side note, I will probably add some elements from the Crab Diviners of Zobek from Kobold Quarterly for some extra flavor for the druid. Being a costal town, it just seems like a nice oportunity to add such a funky-cool element in!

Our group (currently overpopulated) has four women. In our RotRL campaign we've got a sorcerer and a fighter (twin Varisian sisters), a gnome rogue, and a Shoanti druid.

Come to think of it, when our guests leave, the women will outnumber the men, not including the DM.
