I think you might be onto something. I've notice that
also with groups that I'm with. Again I do state that
these are generalizations because Like you I like
puzzles, Nothing sets me off better than a half
obscured trail of bread crumbs. Though from the past
of gaming groups that I've played in and have ran the
results are as follows.
2 women. one she really didn't do much but then again
she wasn't the brightest person on the block and well
I think she did it because her hubby did it. She was
always trying to be the cutest, fairest damsel in the
land,but she never got attached to a character. The
other she doesn't do much but she is starting to be
active she's just very new and is unsure of her
actions but we are getting her there. She is very
attached to her characters but she doesn't complain
when they take damage...as long as it's an open thing
and she just got the unluck of the draw. else she give
the game runner an evil look. and that's about all of
my experience with women roleplayers besides Larpers.
they are a whole different story
