(And I take it from your smiley that you're being innocently snarky and not actually mocking the struggle of trans people by compairing it to identifying as a whole other animal species.)

I looked last night and we were down a member...another heavy hitter would be good but even someone willing to chat on the chat board with me would be great! Welcome!

Of course, as time time as I spend with it, she isn't really fond of the game... >.> My boss plays, and his girlfriend didn't bite either. EDIT: I love that you set your daughter up an all girl alliance, that's an awesome idea, and major cool dad points. My oldest (9) son plays, but won't listen to me when I give him advice...so he sold most of his characters for points, and spent most of his hero tokens on covers instead of cover spaces. -.- Hopefully, your kiddo takes advice better if/when you try to help her lol

After my recent experience at comic con, I learned something important. Being a nerdy girl is awesome but there are A LOT of nerdy girls out there. Being a gamer girl is awesome and you are as rare as a unicorn. The difference? Girls can fake nerdiness - you can't fake being a gamer.

As it stands, I'm approaching senility and haven't the mental or physical wherewithal to endure Comic Con ever again.
