Well, there’s good and bad. Good, the Boy and I are good, and trying to be more fiscally responsible. For the record, I suck with my own money. I’m great with other people’s, or if my work involves money, but not so much with mine. Largely because I refuse to believe that a good credit… Read More State of the Geek Girl What Rules
After years of having female friends tell me things like “You know, I like gaming, but I can’t find a group I’m comfortable with” or “I’ve always wanted to game but I’m kind of intimidated by a lot of the gamer guys I know,” I decided to put out a call for an all girl… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #23 – My Girl Game
http://www.valeriestrangiato.com This is my sex advice site. I’ve spent years being the one everyone goes to for sex advice, friends, family, complete strangers, waiters/waitresses in restaurants. Part of this is the fact that I will talk to anyone, anywhere about anything. Another part is that I try not to be judgemental or horrid, as long… Read More Not strictly Geek-related, but it’s mine.
Okay, I have to lead off this review by stating that I know the authors and the majority of the people involved with EOS press very well. I’ve known Jason Soles for over 15 years, Nicole Vega for about four, and the rest of the guys at EOS for any number of years between those two… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #22 – Review of Unhallowed Metropolis Part I
I had to put my hedgehog Clara, named after Clara Zetkin, to sleep. She had contracted cancer, which had invaded and destroyed her left eye and was busily malforming her jaw. I will eventually get another hedgepig, but right now her cage is empty and I can’t quite bring myself to clean it out just… Read More In Memoriam
Ok, well, I got 50 pages of THE NOVEL sent off to the agent I spoke with. I am also working on two other novels simultaneously. I know, most people don’t do that, but I have this weird ability to seriously multi-task. Also, when I get blocked or fed up with one, I can move… Read More Other state of the Geek GIrl news.
Geek Girls Rule! #20 Now, I’m not going to tell you never to use sexual assault, but I am going to ask you to think about why you want to use it in your game or as part of a character’s motivations. Yes, sexual assault is an all-too-common event in this world. According to RAINN.org,… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #20 – Is Sexual Assault Appropriate in Gaming and #21 Sunshine and Lollipops
This is something that comes up on various Geek Girl communities I visit with fair regularity. At least once a month someone somewhere asks the question “What do you guys think of cross-gender playing? Do you allow it as GMs? Why or why not?” Now, if you’ve been paying attention, you’ll recall that I’ve had some pretty scathing things… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #19 – Playing the Opposite Gender
Soon there will be a new Geek Girls Rule! at MediaGauntlet about cross-gendered gaming. Also, the Boy has just picked up GURPS Martial Arts, 4th ed. And he keeps making little sexually happy noises while reading it. Just periodically there are the squeals of joy, or little moans of ecstasy as he finds new things… Read More Soon!
Geek Girls Rule #18 I freaking love this series. I’ve actually seen the entire first season and WOW! It’s everything I always wanted from shows like “The X-Files” or “Special Unit Two” (both of which I like a lot). The writing is good, the acting’s good, the production values are good. The series is a… Read More Geek Girls Rule! #18 – Torchwood
