Faery's Tale

Resolution systems in RPGs
Submitted by MikeIT on Wed, 09/05/2007 - 18:00.I've heard some people talk about female gamers not being into rolling dice that they'd rather spend their time role-playing. While I don't think it's a valid generalization, I wonder what types of conflict resolution systems Gamer Chicks enjoy. A conflict resolution system is how you accomplish things in an RPG that are not automatic like hitting the orc with your longsword or using your vampiric charm to influence the hapless mortal or making your character recall a piece of information you have forgotten.

Faery's Tale: Introducing girls to gaming
Submitted by MikeIT on Wed, 02/07/2007 - 05:37.My daughter's Brownie troop is pretty progressive, and it sounds like the leader is interested in having the girls try out an RPG. Faery's Tale from Firefly Games is probably a good introductory game to see what the girls think of role-playing games.
