So that's why when I started playing magic in high school guys looked
at me funny when I brought my own deck in and asked if I could
join...the looked at me even funnier when I won.

I do see what you are saying though about females not getting into
roleplaying and the sort...Alot of girls just aren't into it. But on
the other hand I've always been a tomboy with my head in the clouds,
nose in a book, hating most of my classmates (almost completely
opposite of my best friend Jackie). I've mentioned RPGing to some gals
here in college and they were like what's that? So I guess I really
can see what you mean.

But if it makes you feel any better I got my friend Cara (chick age
almost 14) addicted to Earthdawn.
