If you’re a woman reading this who has never played Dungeons and Dragons, or any other roleplaying games, or any sort of game at all--I want to invite you to play. I hope this entire website serves as an invitation. This invitation is both very real and an idea that you can take for yourself.

​For the real part join our facebook group and we can connect you with some other ladies that want to play online. (I for one would be down for some one-shots on roll20.)

As for the idea of an invitation, many of you are interested but no one has gone so far as to invite you. I know this because whenever I gush about my own group to other women, I’m often met with so much interest, so many who want to play but don’t see the D&D community as a place where they could belong.

That’s because for so long the invitation wasn’t extended to us. We're here to change that. 

About a year and a half after I started playing in my group, I sat down to do a session write-up. It had been a small session–only 3 players compared to our usual 5–but it was a fun game. And it touched on my own character’s backstory, so I really wanted to write something from her perspective. 
​
Our DM (my boyfriend) has always encouraged players to do the session write-ups. In the year and a half I’d played with the group, I’d only written one (despite being a writer by trade). And that one that I wrote–man, did I have anxiety about doing it. 

Not only did I wait for almost a month post-session to write it, I also asked the DM’s permission to post it, afraid that the rest of the group would hate me for it. I had him read it and approve it, and even then, I still thought they’d hate me. 

They didn’t. 

​But I never wrote another one. Then I sat down one day, and suddenly, I wanted to write about the team’s adventures. And I wasn’t scared anymore. A year and half later, I no longer considered myself just the DM’s girlfriend. Now I was a member of a team. Part of a group of friends.  

We know we're not the only ladies out there who love D&D, so we want to hear from you!

Whether you character is a total badass, or you can't seem to find your place at the table, share your experiences here. Whatever you want to say, we want to hear from you. All we ask is that your story include at least one woman player character or woman NPC.
