I love horror movies, I have ever since I was a little girl. The other day I was sitting around trying to figure out why. Where did this come from? If you listen to the upcoming 21st podcast I do with Jillian Venters, we talk about it there. But I really have been mulling… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #169 – Why Horror?
I’m bringing sexy back… Ok, I won’t subject you to any more of that song. It’s one of my guilty pleasures. So, using sex and romance in your games. First, bear in mind that the two are not necessarily the same thing. You can have sex without romance (my early 20s) and romance without sex… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #168 – Putting the R in RPG cont’d – Bringing Sexy Back
Ok, so now that you’ve talked to your players about including horrific, adult type stuff in your games, how do you do that? The types of games we usually include in this category include horror, porny, gut-punchy, and romance. Porny and romance can be the same, or different games/categories entirely. Now, some people focus on… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #167 – Putting the ‘R’ in RPG continued: Horror
Welcome to anyone coming here as a result of listening to me blather on at Norwescon! All of my panels were great fun, particularly the Victorian Sex panel, where I’m sorry if I burst anyone’s bubble by bringing a lot of historical reality into the picture. But, you really should know about the bad, too.… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #166 – Norwescon and Putting the ‘R’ in RPG
I love the movie Real Genius. Made in the 80s, it has remained one of my top ten favorite movies ever since, and I think I figured out why. The Nerd Girl gets her Nerd Boy. As a matter of fact, he turns down a hot chick for her. Oh, and she doesn’t wear glasses… Read More Geek Girls Rule #163 – Nerd Girls and the Media
Sadly this is not an April Fool’s Joke. I just didn’t realize what the date was when I scheduled it. Ok, so we’ve all seen Akira, right? I mean, it is kind of considered one of the really important works of anime, along with Macross, Gundam, or Ghost in the Shell. Akira takes place in… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #162 – The Whitewashing of an Icon
Ok, so there’s this young adult anthology scheduled to come out fairly soon. The theme of this anthology is dark romance, the name Wicked Pretty Things, and the cover blurb included author Melissa Marr’s name as an example of the sort of thing one could expect in the anthology. Then one of the authors, Jessica… Read More Geek Girls Rule #161 – Reading a Gay Character Won’t Make You Gay
Wherein you get to hear me sputter incoherently over Scott Adams, whine about writer’s block, be enraged over the whitewashing of Akira, talk about the winners of the tattoo contest, announce the new “Geeks are Generous” contest, celebrate getting the new Erickson and McGuire books and mispronounce things because I finished recording around one in… Read More Geek Girls Rule!

Ok, so you may have heard that Scott Adams of Dilbert fame opened up his big old mouth, and slipped a foot into it. Essentially he said that arguing with women was like arguing with children or the mentally handicapped, but he TOTALLY isn’t comparing those groups, he just thinks you should treat them the… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #160 – I Call Bullshit.
Ok, after many delays due to illness and drunkeness, I have the winner and two runners-up for the Geekiest Tattoo contest. The results were hotly contested, as we weighed geekiness of entry, skill of tattoo artist, and wide-based nerd appeal. The over all winner of the The Guild DVDs is: Jess Sides with her Werewolf… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #159 – Winner of the Geekiest Tattoo Contest.
