I am not saying that I don't work well with women, because I do.  However, I do feel that the generalizations are true.

Well, Morgan...look at your handle.  What would you expect someone to think?  (J/K)

The generalizations seem to be true in all of the places that I have worked in except when I worked with female attorneys in a law firm.

Other than that, I agree with the generalizations.

Just thought of another cartoon diva, but I am not sure if it was a "diney" character.

Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Any thoughts?

And for the group, remember, zombies can shoot people in the head.  The death of certain characters by being shot in the head has nothing to do with any of our characters actually shooting them.  The zombies did it. (waves his hand in a Jedi fashion.)

Cool.  I spend most of my time at the law school studying.  What is fun to do here?

With the group I game with the unexpected is the norm.  Ad hoc is a requirement.

But for me as a GM some of my favorite times are when the characters are presented with an in game time where they could plan and coordinate their actions.  During such an instance I have the characters make all their preparations where I can't observe their planning, have them record any extra-special plans on paper (such as time consuming rituals, etc.) and hand me the paper when they return.  Then, we pick-up where we left off.  This gives me the chance to plan, and gives the players the chance to push the plot, thus making my job easier.

This still requires preparation however, as the NPC's encountered must be significantly developed so as to be able to counter anything the players might throw at them.

All in all I really enjoy free-from GMing.  It makes these fantasies more realistic.

Don't worry so much.  You'll get the job.
