Confessions of a Part-Time Sorceress: A Girl’s Guide to Dungeons & Dragons

By Shelly Mazzanoble -

Confessions of a Part-time Sorceress is a smart, humorous examination of the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game from a female gamer's point of view. The book delves into the myths and realities of gamer stereotypes. It explains how to build a character for a D&D game, how to shop for gear, how to play, and how to find the perfect gaming group, all the while exploring the things that make the D&D game a rewarding and recurring social experience for both men and women.

Guess this explains the "article" being critiqued elsewhere on this board.

Too bad Barbie is a Mattel product; the crossover potential of a bundle of this book and the "Math is hard!" Barbie from a few years back would be nearly infinite...

(whew) that's a relief. The fluff is hosed, succubi are devils and all that jive, but my mini's are scotchgarded from retcon.

And I was so looking forward to Malibu Orcus....

[damnitall22]

I personally wanted the Malibu Nine Hells playset with Asmodeus.

I wonder how many of the ladies that frequent these boards you fellas just offended with those winning quips.

[damnitall22]

First of all if that offended anyone sorry but come on. I played with Barbies too, not much else to do when your have an older sister and the nearest neighbor is 1/2 a mile down the road.

Still I see no problem with saying that about any "iconic" toy line. Take He-Man for instance, while I loved the show as a kid and technically still do. You have to admit that Prince Adam comes across as kind of gay. (No offense meant just saying that I think he was.) Not to mention that there was what 4 women in the whole show.

Anyway no offense meant to anyone over anything.

Also I would love to see how Orcus pimps out his corvette. ;)

He-man was a friggin pansy. Stretch Armstrong - now there was a bad-ass dude. I still got a scar from that guy.

Spoiler:

Note: the whole scar thing is true. My brother through old stretch at my head and busted it open. I bled like a stuck pig but only required 1 stitch. I have a tiny scar on my scalp.

And how do you like this line...

Sounds like a bumper sticker I read at a convention years ago..."We are Microsoft. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated." Thank you Star Trek.

Another attempt to appeal to a broader consumer base. Bravo WotC. I just wonder if they finally clued in why most chicks gravitate towards LARPS. Here is a clue, it is not for the 'mad' damage in combat.
