Too many of us guy gamers... too few girl gamers.
*flaunts her powaaaaahhh!*
Well, My girlfriend (actually) enjoys sitting with me while I play Games.
I created a character for her on EQ (Sapphiresky, Barbarian Shaman, Luclin Server) for me to play around with. Her charm has already worked it's magic too...2 guys came up and gave me some equipment (Ulthork hide sleeves, helm, boots, velium spear, some earring with mana conservation I, and some ruined gnoll chain)

Anyway, that's my post for awhile.
Take Synny for example, she came out to NJ only toying around with online muds and a copy of FF7 that ran poorly on her machine
Now it's Darkstone, EQ (lv 58 druid) Daoc, AC2, Diablo2, Sims, AO, numerous tabletop RPG's...

How is AC2, anyways?

And such a satisfying feel once you have converted them.
I introduced 4 girls to Halo last Saturday (13 people playing Halo) and they seemed to enjoy it. Not only that, but they're telling me to plan another one.

Khyron spewed forth this undeniable truth:

graphically? beautiful. Unfortunately too simplistic at the time. Interesting concept though, the release new "chapters" of the overall story every couple months.. new zones, dungeons, content, monsters etc etc
Depending on what quests players are involved in governs what sort of changes happen in the future "chapters"
D2 style skill progression, 3 skill trees (ranged, melee, magic) per race/class and each tree has 2 "advanced" classes attached.
experience points can be used at anytime to buy new skills or increase existing ones.
Tradeskill system is pretty interesting too
Items are created by combining 2 or more existing items in a forge. See, every item has 2 material values of varying degree. A sword for example:
iron 17, wood 15
Say you have a recipe for a shield that requires both iron and wood of 17. You would need to get two items, doesnt matter what they are, that have material values that meet or exceed the requirements. The sword above would fill the iron requirement, but not the wood. There's also exotic variations of base materials for more advanced items.
Unfortunately, as I mentioned, it was too simplistic a few months ago. Ranged and magic combat were drastically overpowered. Very, and I mean VERY little initial content.
(part of the story, I know, but still.. it got boring over time) I'm sure theres been alot more added and tweaked, I just havent givin it another shot yet.
The ones whose spare time revolves around them are what's rare. A good thing if you ask me, video games all the time get boring.
... so i hit the "Jakepot".
But i was no nerd when she meeted me: i hade a Big truck, work boots, HD t-shirts, my appartment and i was already out of school.
HEY!?!?! whent i think about it ... she Corrupted ME!!!!
*Stunned from self reazilation* 
If Khy or anyone has any tips on how to convert a goth girl into rpg, starting classes/games, I would owe big time. [ 03-31-2003: Message edited by: Fox ]

From my college, I think the ratio is 2:1 for guys to girls in the gaming community.

This...is so sadly true
And converting girls is often similarly impossible.

I'm more of a geek and a gamer than he is. I need to convert him

I think more drastic measures must be taken.
For me, it took about 10-15 minutes of yelling into a phone to convince one to try it (Yell for about a minute, then hand off the phone to someone else for them to try.). She ended up enjoying it a lot, but it took quite a bit of convincing for that first step.
Or, I could have just gotten lucky with who I'm choosing to ask. [ 03-31-2003: Message edited by: Soldar ]

Must... get that game >.<
Seriously, I want that game =(
I don't mind un-gamer girls... the true menace is ANTI-gamer girls. One of the guys in our group has a GF that goes out of her way to call him during games, take him out of the room for hours during combats, etc
