Re: (TFT) Playing in character

["Chris Nicole" <chris_nicole@operamail.com>]

I've been playing a female priest in a TFT PBEM Y! Group.

The GM called for a palladin type (the party really needed a moral centre). So I proposed a couple of characters, Jobe the Ox; strong male fighter/cleric, or Anjac; smart female magician/priest.
I chose to play Anjac when I realised that she could get away with a lot more by charm, persuasion and discussion, than Ox could by challenge, argument and bullying.
:o)

So far it's been fun, she's a strong character and stands up well.
It helps too that I modelled her appearance on actress Julianne Moore.

For reference; I'm male hetero 40's.

It's not the first time I've played a female character, mostly I play male.


Regards,

Chris / Anjac

This is very interesting to me!

Of my group of 8 players, we all play male characters - except for 
one guy. He always - ALWAYS - plays a chick.

World of WarCraft?  Chick.  He's got three characters, and all are chicks.

I just don't get it.  I don't have even the slightest interest in 
playing a female character; not even a smidgen.  But some folks 
prefer playing females.

First D&D game, I rolled up a female fairy.  I was the new guy in 
the group, and playing at the feet of a "Legendary" GM, and the 
game was very interesting.  But I just couldn't enjoy my character 
because I couldn't get into the character's gender.  I didn't go 
back to that group.

So, I ask you:
1).  Who likes to play females?
and, more importantly,
2).  Why?  What is the allure?
