Confessions of a Part-Time Sorceress: Second Post (Voice)
Shelly Mazzanoble’s writing is really good. She has a great voice and her writing is just a hoot to read. She does a pretty good job of touching on the prevailing stereotypes and misconceptions about both D&D and general roleplaying. Her discussion of how women have spent their whole lives roleplaying and gaming in general is really good. If we could get more normal women who don’t think of themselves as the type to ever try this sort of thing to read this, we may find attitudes about gaming changing and maybe even more women who want to try playing themselves. This is a fun book and could open some doors, but I don’t know how to get it into the hands where it would really be new.
