be assured that we have similar spirits regarding our character development.

in an all male 1/2 str8 group, I played a female monk, who convinced (a str8 player) to have sex with me to patch things between waring dragons and gods.

"1/2 str8," eh?

Myself, I don't play with fags. When they aren't fighting over magic rings, they are comparing longswords.
