  Ginny, I really appreciate your message to the girlies in this one. Women like you and Emily Axford and Aabria Iyengar have paved the way for so many more women and girls to get into this hobby.

  I was at this round of DnD In A Castle, and our table (Vee Muse&apos;s Mists of Koshmarr) got to team up with Ginny&apos;s table for a little two-table one-shot through Lumley. Her table RAVED about her game! She knocked it outta the park.

  This video is SO timely - I was just chatting w a friend the other day about how women tend to undercut ourselves before others can in spaces like this. I am lucky that I do not personally struggle with this (most of the time), but that causes a whole other layer of social complication, so I have to consider it regardless. So thankful you commented on this up top. <br><br>Also…. Being able to not just take in critical feedback, maintain a realistic sense of self, commit to growing from the notes, and then being willing to transparently tell us all about it is NOT easy. Thanks for this example!!!!!

  I’m a guy who definitely thinks that I’m a terrible DM and everyone is just lying to me to spare my feelings. But your videos definitely help me feel more inspired and confident. Thank you so much for all you do!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bftBAwCS1T0&amp;t=140">2:20</a> I feel like asking “do you DM?” or “have you DM’d?” can be better because it reminds people that you don’t have to ID as a DM to DM… as someone who is always encouraging his friends to DM, I always want to invite more people to just try it out!

  Fuck the world where this kind of message has to be given to women, but I can’t imagine a better person to do it. You’re awesome Ginny, helping to make the world just that little bit better with everything you do.

  First: I couldn&apos;t help but shout &quot;Preach!&quot; when you talked about how the ladies hem and haw while the gentlemen have no problem with acknowledging their GM/DM status. And well done with the repeat at the ending. I&apos;m glad your second time through had a much brighter ending. I play with family on Roll20 (they&apos;re in Texas, I&apos;m in Georgia), and thinking of purchaing TotFT and figuring out how to port it to Roll20. Nice job, ma&apos;am!

  Every time I throw a hag at my players, they make a deal with her, and now one of my players owes a hag all of his bones when he inevitably dies.

  &quot;My players had a great time.&quot; So besides the DM&apos;s fun and comfort, nothing else matters, right? So in my view, you killed it.
