Slashdot Mirror
Fear of Girls, a D&D Documentary
FhnuZoag writes "Google Video is hosting the short film 'Fear of Girls', written and directed by Ryan Wood. The film is a hilarious 'documentary' dealing with a pair of self-declared elite table-top roleplayers. The film has already appeared at a variety of fringe events, but here's a chance to see it for free and online from a server that probably can survive a slashdotting." Allright, so it's not that funny, but since I'm off to play D&D this afternoon, it tickled me.

I think Taco doesn't like it because it hits too close to home. I myself loved it :D
I don't know if this counts as an accurate anthropological study but has anyone tried entering World Of Warcraft as a female character? If anything, it is 'they' who probably should fear 'us' ...
If a man would roleplay a woman in WoW, he'll end up rich, in a big guild with TONS of friends. A friend of mine tried this stint in EQ, people would use to give him items and gold because they thought he was a real woman.

Just like the real world then eh?. Women might complain about descrimination and all but there's no denying when it comes to finances, they''re far better off because of what they can get from men with little or no effort. Sucks to be a guy in this age.
Please be careful with AD&D, people. I used to play AD&D - it completely consumed me, even to the point of losing my own identity... my world became one of the occult, I was awash in Satanism and witchcraft. I believe that I could cast spells on myself and others that would make me irresistable to women, or great at athletics. Once, I jumped from the roof of my junior high school after having cast "feather fall" on myself... it was at that point that friends and family intervened.
I'm sure that some of you won't believe me, or will think that I'm lying, but it happened to me. My story was actually made into the made-for-tv movie "Mazes and Monsters".
It's a dark, dark path to go down, and one I suggest you avoid.
The part about high school reminded me of a thing I read in Dragon Magazine about making an RPG version of real life, where all the players tried to design themselves as characters and pick stats they saw as reasonable. I imagine there'd be a severe shortage of Charisma in that party.

... my D&D group is half female, and the only one that's really feared is Tammy, who has a tendency to catch party members in blast spells...
I'm not into D&D but I believe someone cast a No Humor-spell on you

THE HONOUR OF THE KNIGHTS - CC Licensed Sci-Fi Novel
Yeah, it's awesome being a woman. I just love it when men like you explain things I already know about my computer to me very slowly in laymen's terms while staring at my breasts and assuming that I will use my sexuality to get money from you at some point. It's a good thing you so hand that cash over like a sap; otherwise, I might have to reveal that my breasts are really cleverly concealed machine guns.
So what you're saying is:
Worst... film... evar.
"It tickled me"? Are you a dude or a chick?
Admit it, you're a 48 year old man.

I always play female characters in my games. But I don't roleplay and pretend to act like one.
My reasoning is, if I have to look at some video game character's ass for hours at a time, it's not going to be a man's.
Spell: Fear of Girls
Level: 1
Description: The caster gains +10 protection from all Charm effects and +5 bonus to Charisma checks from female characters. The components required are 5 mod points on Slashdot. The casting time varies depending on how fast the player's computer can boot when he arrives home Friday night. Once the OS is loaded, an invisible social shield will slowly form around the caster which lasts 48 hours. This shield protects the caster from answering the occasional phone call from Chaotic/Evil Warriors and Rogues that may invite him to go out during the weekend with vague ambitions of getting laid tonight. It may break at any time if the computer is left unattended for more than 30 minutes (the caster may be granted cumulative +1hrs grace periods per visit to the mystical porn elf). When protected by the shield, the caster is immune to any afterthoughts from realizing the last time he has spoken to a girl for more than two minutes was five years ago and that it was answering a survey over the phone - and can thus focus on the careful study of his spellbook undisturbed.
Yes, but its your ass. You get off looking at your own ass?
If I were a girl I would.
How offensive! Do you have any concept of how difficult it is to be born a Fagtassian? Even a mixed-blood Fagtassian realy takes it up...you know where. I met one once, and although I was generally repulsed, I remained polite, didn't threaten him or call him nasty names.
It's people like you, sir, who are ruining it for all those poor Fagtassians.
Even more surprising, 100% of Elves in World of Warcraft are played by Humans!
I wore a cloak to school once. They announced a non-uniform day about a month in advance to raise money for charity. You had to pay a small amount to come in in 'normal' clothes, and this money went to the nominated charity de jour. Over the next few weeks, the headmaster gradually tightened the dress code required for the day (no jeans, no fleeces, etc) until it got to the point that it was almost more restrictive than our normal dress code. To highlight this point, I turned up in full evening dress, complete with bow tie and opera cloak. It got a few laughs from staff and students alike, although I think it went over the headmaster's head.

Why do you think Xenosaga is so popular even though the second one totally blowed game-wise? Answer: KOS-MOS.
Well, after watching over my shoulder for a bit, my fiance tried out WoW the other night with a female character. Within a few minutes, she'd been given 2 free bags by another (flirty) female character. So I can't tell whether it was a guy whose thought my fiance was really female, or another female, or another guy who thought it was another guy.... it's a crazy mixed up world. Hey, free bags though... SCORE.
P.
Don't worry, you are posting on Slashdot, nobody thinks your Fiance is really female.
So you have ended up something like this??

I'm a straight male of 19 years of age and I can safely say I have never uncontrollably stared at a woman's breasts, in conversation or any other time - unless they're amusingly large or have smiley faces painted on them, really, your breasts aren't that interesting.
The stereotype that all men do nothing but stare at breasts all day is interesting - am I the only one that doesn't?

Assuming you are straight: yes.

That's because we are a rare breed. It took me nearly sixteen years to reach level ten. Most give up before they reach level three...
Wasn't it great when you finally got the +4 Bag of Heating, though? My tips went through the roof.

Socialism: a lie told by totalitarians and believed by fools.
Which means that those who don't believe in evolution are better at it. I wonder if this is an instance of cosmic irony...
Forget magic. Any technology distinguishable from divine power is insufficiently advanced.
Playing first person shooters (Perfect Dark Zero, No One Lives Forever, Psi-Ops) I always like it when the main character is a woman.
That way on the cut scenes I get to 'check out a hot chick.'
I have no sense of the idea that I am actually this person while playing...it is just that I would rather watch a woman, than a man.
(No, I am not trying to hide some sort of latent homosexuality by making this post...I really do like to watch women...but there is nothing sweeter than caressing a man's hairy ass-cheeks...now THAT my friends is HOT)
No reason to lie.
