    Female here.
    I am curious what prompted you to ask the question? Curiosity, or something else?

    I'm not "new", but I'm also a lady.

    It's important to have women playing. Diversification, but not in the sense of doing every random thing. You bring your own perspective, and D&D has always been boys' hobby. They may cover up the boobs these days, which is too bad, but they keep the hack-and-slash in. In fact, it's gone from main course to the only dish. So I want to see if women are attracted to the former and gentler incarnation of the system and this game. Or maybe you love hack-and-slash! Just vote, will ya. And that goes for men too. If you guys don't want, what kind of picture can I get here?

    I'm confused, it sounds like you are comparing boobs to food and asking for pictures? What do you mean "if you guys don't want"? And this poll is only for new people right?

    Now I am confused. It sounds to me like there is more to your question then just how many men or woman play the game.

    Pineapple is best pizza topping

    I know we like to joke around and have fun on these forums friend but there is no need to start saying horrendous things like this to get a cheap laugh.
    I too really enjoy some pineapple on my pizza, makes a nice from my normal go to which is caramelized onion.

    Treading on thin ice there... Not that I mind voting. Me male. Oh and I'm mostly in it for the story/lore/plots/use of (semi-)archaic language.
    Like games, pizza needs cheese. Lots of cheese. At least four kinds. And mushrooms.

    Hello friends. While I applaud your spirit of curiosity in this thread I humbly seek to remind you that gender is not binary. Besides, we all know the really important thing to know about someone is if they put pineapple on pizza.

    Gender is actually very much binary, because it's a cultural invention. There's the Man and the Woman, those are just concepts people adhere to or don't. Sex, being physical, isn't quite as binary. There are people with an extra X chromosome, all kinds of cases. But I'm simplifying here down to what concerns most people. And the reason I ask this at all is because I want to know. It's as simple as that. I'm a modder, a player, a community member, so I want to have a good image of these games and their audience and how they might play in my mind. Especially the younger people/new players. So just spare me the relativist stuff please, they both matter - the gender, the sex, and your age too by the way. Nothing to be scared of, especially in what, you will notice, is an anonymous poll.

    Knowledge is light.

    I fully agree. One should be able to vote "lazy".

    There should be a 3 min option :trollface:

    We have a pizza thread somewhere in the forum... Some people even said they don't like pizza... We didn't even banish them for heresy!

    BTW I'd just like to remind everyone that nobody is forced to disclose gender or any other personal information in this forum so feel free not to participate in any such thread. If in doubt message a moderator.
