We’ve been playing every Wednesday (with occasional time off) for a year and a half. A few people have come and gone, but it’s still the same core six or seven women every week. We like hanging out with each other so much that we went camping together (no LARPing).
Our first camping trip
We are playing The Shackled City. We’re about halfway through the adventure. We’re a motley bunch, in game, I mean, humans, dwarfs, elves and half dragons. But we get the job done.
If you find yourself in Portland, OR on a Wednesday night, stop by Guardian Games. We’d love to see you. Feel free to contact us with questions or comments.
About Beth:
I am a life-long gamer; coming back to Dungeons and Dragons after a 20 year break. I play with the same group of women every Wednesday. This blog captures the game from my character’s point of view. We have so much fun in the periphery of the game that I often do “meta” posts, too.
I love to read, play video games, cook and surf the web. Sometimes I get inspired to design a t-shirt or two. Currently I’m using my Wii to get fit with EA Active. It’s great. Playing “Fallout 3″ on the Xbox 360 and back to “PuzzleQuest” on the DS.

I too have returned to D&D after a long hiatus and wonder why I ever left.

Isn’t it just a blast? I so look forward to our Wednesday night game. And for me anyway, the group and particularly the DM make such a difference!

A friend of mine sent me a link to this site and an article about the Dungeon Divas. I felt that I should say hello. I am slowly making strides for us here in Indianapolis, Indiana. My gaming group started 6 years ago with just the “guys” and me. However we had our first night of women outnumbering the men just last week!

It feels like there’s some growing gamer girl momentum. Maybe the internet is helping connect us.
