I am so exhausted from seeing women not be GMs in ttrpgs because they feel they HAVE to know all the rules to do it.
And I know WHY they feel this way. Hell, I know exactly how a table of "males" would react to a bad rules call, and how much worse they would be to a femme GM.
But I really want to try and find a way to get these potentially awesome GMs into girlbossing their way into these roles.

@gcvsa@mstdn.plus@pangoriaF The irony is that there's a strong cultural trope about how girls focus a lot of their play on "pretend" and "make believe" and developing elaborate rulesets for their play.
I think it's important to emphasize that there are *no rules* in #RPG #TTRPG roleplaying #gaming
It's literally *all made up*. You are not only permitted to change the rules, you are encouraged to do so, explicitly so, from the mouth of the foremost male figure in the subculture.
@gcvsa this is exactly one of the points that need to be stressed.
