D6

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.

Every once in a while, an RPG system captures a setting very well and gives a feeling appropriate to the setting. One example that I think did that was West End Games' version of Star Wars RPG. Star Wars RPG uses the d6 system that West End Games created for a fast and loose gaming session.
