The gaming industry - that all encompassing term that refers to board, card, miniature,
video and role-playing games - is largely a male-dominated hobby and profession. This is
quite often evidenced in game styles, as well as (more obviously) the artwork.
As Lady Gamers, we try to overlook the obvious appeals to the male libido (which, much
to the credit of male gamers, do not always sell a product) and judge a game by its
playability. We each have our preferences for game styles – some prefer live action
role-playing, others online role-playing; some expect their characters to be "Heroes" (7th
Sea, for example), others expect their characters to be "Dead" (Paranoia, specifically).
Some prefer miniatures, or card games, or board games.
But all in all, we are gamers. We love our hobby, and want to share our take on it with
all of you.
