Demographics poll!

[marieann-d.livejournal.com]

Because I'm just curious like that, I made up a simple poll to see what the average (as if any of us is average! ^_^) Fandom High player is like. Please, feel free to skip questions, ignore the poll, whatever, but give me some feedback too. If you hate it, let me know and I'll never do it again. It's the political science geek in me. ^_^

You know, I'm really very curious about how many people are RPing characters opposite their gender. *is very random, and likes odd statistics*

[marieann-d.livejournal.com]

Ooo... that could be interesting. Next time, as I cannot edit this poll. My guess would be a lot, probably, since I think the majority of the players are female.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

I'm opposite gender. Which is kinda weird because all my older rp characters are girls and yet I ended up getting a guy for this rp. (Mainly because the character I would have otherwise picked was already taken.)

[ten-and-chips.livejournal.com]

This is the first time I've ever done it.

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

I can tell you that I do not share a gender with either of my characters. ;)

[death-n-binky.livejournal.com]

Well... my character lacks anatomy...

[scissors--.livejournal.com]

I guess a looooot of the male characters are played by female muns. Well, edward is, at least :)

[bluemanoncampus.livejournal.com]

Very male here, baby!

::grunts, stratches self:: :-P

But my other char is female, yes.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Huh, for some reason it won't let me fill out the poll.

[marieann-d.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Are you sure you're logged in? It's open to anyone, not just members, so maybe try your player journal?

[leeadama.livejournal.com]

Well, I still love you.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::blinks:: Okay... I'm the only guy so far? Crazy.

[marieann-d.livejournal.com]

Wow. You play Cally so well, I never even guessed. Of course, psychology says we all assume everyone is like us until proven wrong...

[janet_fraiser]

You're a guy? You play a girl really well. :) Your Cally rocks.

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

Dude -- I had no clue! Mad props to you then, you do an awesome job.

[absolutesnark]

You are playing Cally so well! As others have said, I never would have guessed.

This is coming from the person who was playing Tyrol, btw. OTP! ;)

Tabletop RPGers!

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

I notice there's a lot of people here with previous tabletop RPG experience, so now I'm curious as to which games you all have played.

For me, it's D&D second edition, a tiny bit of third edition, and a touch of Magic: The Gathering.

Oh, I also forgot to specify "other" for that last question . . . if RPG video games, of the non-MMORPG variety, count. Because my video-gaming reflexes suck, and those are the only kind I'm good at.

Re: Tabletop RPGers!

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

My vg-reflexes suck too and I can only play stuff like Heroes of Might and Magic, Caesar, Alpha Centauri.

No table-top RPG experience, though. Unless you count the years in high school of being crushy on the D&Ders so much that I learned the manual. *g*

[12parseckessel.livejournal.com]

I'm playing Debbie Novotny as well as Han, so I have one character that shares my gender. And I'm one of the oldest in the game.

My background is D&D (before AD&D), AD&D, Car Wars, Runescape, GURPS, Shadowrun and Cyberpunk, Vampire the Masquerade, etc. Basically late 80s-early 90s vintage is my gaming era.

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

I almost joined Masquerade a while ago at uni, but it sort of fizzled out. I have the PC game for it when is pretty cool. Think it's party of the reason I joined this actually I fancied some RPG action!

Clarification thingie

[chasingangela]

You know, I marked that I had never roleplayed, but that's not exactly true. In high school, I was briefly part of a roleplaying thing on the Prodigy message boards, and in college I played a tabletop game for about two hours because a guy I liked wanted to show me it. But for all intents and purposes, I'm a total newbie.

Re: Clarification thingie

[valentine-tart.livejournal.com]

OMG. I totally did the Prodigy message boards thing! Heh.

[mycanonhatesme]

Why do I get the feeling I'm the only World of Warcraft junkie here. ;)

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Ha... FH actually killed my WoW addiction. Because I would've exploded trying to do both.

[mannybianco.livejournal.com]

Do we fill this in once per mun, or once per character?
(mannybianco, feck_arse_girls, isnotimportant)

[marieann-d.livejournal.com]

Once per mun. This is more of a who the players are type of business. :)

[can_be_more]

So if the only RP I've ever done is an LJ one that I signed up for like, a week before enrolling in FH, that still counts as "I have roleplayed before," right? *g*

And I play two characters over there, one of which is a guy, which is a lot easier than I would have thought. I have four characters here who are all female because I didn't think I would be able to get the male mystique down. Now I know for next time.

[scissors--.livejournal.com]

yes, two percent of -all of you- is from the netherlands!!


Right, i feel lonely now 0.o Anyone want to share my timezones? 0.o

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Primarily D&D V3.0 (with some background in 2), with VtM(Which graudated into LARP), and Sailor Moon (Shut up). I've always had an intrest but never enough money to get the books so what I've played always depended on what books were at the library.

Keep coming back to D&D though, it's the classic.

[janet_fraiser]

Oh, God, V:tM. I have LARPed that so damn much. Playing in a LARP in the WoD set in 1216 right now.

D&D is beautiful. I'm not buying the 3.5 books, though. Too much money!

[best-bang-yet.livejournal.com]

Not only do I play someone of the opposite gender, but also someone with the opposite number of heads!

I've rped before, but I hadn't in years before FH. It looked too fun to pass up. And as an unbelievable bonus, everyone here has a basic grasp of grammar and characterization.
