Okay, if the words in the title of this article make no sense to you put together like that (girls? my game?), do us all a favor and quit reading now. For the rest of you, let’s hit a few basics: 1.  Ask them to play. Actually, that’s it.  Just ask them like you’d ask… Read More The Geek Girl What Rules’ Greatest Hits – GGR #5 Bringing Girls to Your Game

I had thought I’d be doing women and comics and games in this week’s column, but something came up, and I know its something that every GM is going to have to deal with at one time or another in their gaming career: firing a player. It sucks. A lot.  I did not realize how much… Read More The Geek Girl What Rules’ Greatest Hits – GGR #4 Firing a Player

I promised you the girls wouldn’t get away scot-free, and I keep my word.  Last time I skewered a few of the Bad Guy Gamer Archetypes I’ve had the, ahem, pleasure of dealing with in my years as a Girl Nerd.  However, as I observed last time, there are Bad Girl Gamer Archetypes, too.  And yes,… Read More The Geek Girl What Rules’ Greatest Hits – GGR #3 Bad Female Gamer Archetypes

Sorry about the lateness of the column.  I’ve been stuck on the couch for the past week with a nasty upper respiratory infection.  This is the first time I’ve been off heavy narcotics since Monday long enough to put two sentences together.  In practical terms what this means is that between the Sci Fi Channel,Vongo.com… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #37 – Comic/Superhero movies

Yup. Since Mr. Geek Girl What Rules has been doing his podcast, he’s been pestering me to do my own. In the first one I pretty much just talk about why I named the column Geek Girls Rule!, my geek “cred,” the hotness of geek boys, my deep and abiding love for Richie Rich comics… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #36 – The first Geek Girls Rule! Podcast and some other stuff

Geek Girls Rule! #2 As you know, from the last column, I came to gaming relatively late in life, the age of 19 to be exact. I’d always wanted to game. It sounded fascinating; hanging out with other geeks, pretending to be great heroes, adventurers, other races. Ever since I found out about D&D, I’d… Read More The Geek Girl What Rules’ Greatest Hits – GGR #2 Bad Male Gamer Archetypes

Yeah, I haven’t figured out backdating yet, so old columns will be posting alongside the new ones for awhile. Geek Girls Rule #1  “Oh my GOD!!” What was that? Psst! Over here. That was me, having a minor geek-gasm over the latest issue of Uncanny X-men, in case you were wondering. Yeah, the girl standing… Read More The Geek Girl What Rules’ Greatest Hits – GGR #1

Ok, so I’ve started this column about five times now, each time with a different subject, but this is it. I’m doing it. We’re gonna talk about Podcasts for the Geek World. First, there are a TON of them out there. From Sons of Kryos to Theory from the Closet to Four Color Heroines, there… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #35 – Podcasts for the Geek in You!

First, go read this comic:  http://somethingpositive.net/sp12272007.shtml I’ll wait.  Ok, does that not just fill your heart with glee?  Is this not the sort of superhero wife/girlfriend response to villains your black little hearts have been longing for?  I laughed out loud when I read it.  Finally, someone who understands that yes, women CAN defend themselves.   I’ve… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #34 – Randy Milholland is a GENIUS!
