Amen to that. Of course this doesn't always seem to hold true
to women as you suggested. Unusual, but I never claimed to understand
the opposite sex. :)

Heh...isn't that the truth.

I agree, although that largely seems to depend on your players. Some
groups love the roleplaying, odd parts. (Ever have a contest to see
who can pick up a lady in a bar? Ever had your PC's fight over
someone? Or ever use the fact that a guy was once a girl as a plot device?)
Some groups, can't stand that sorta thing.
Ah well....anybody here ever read Jennifer Roberson's Tiger and Del, SwordDancer series?
Interesting commentary on men & women differences wrapped up
in very good books. (At least the 1st two).
