Because of the Zak S bullshit, at least so far as I can tell, someone on Twitter recently asked about games written by women, and I followed that because I'm a filthy man-hating socialist tranny and want all cultural contributions by men to be burned on the pyre of Western Civilization.
But no, I was genuinely curious, because I definitely couldn't think of any off the top of my head, and the only ones I could think of were fan hacks or very indie stuff made by Koumei. And *mumble grumble something-about-indie-stuff-that-only-exists-online-different-from-stuff-in-stores* But, no, honestly, I was pretty sure that's not what the OP was asking for to begin with.
Anyway, another person linked to this list and the thing that jumps out at me is that the individual people on it can be broken down into three groups-
- Worked on D&D or WoD
- Co-made an indie game with a Cisman
- Solely made a game that is almost entirely interpersonal drama
So anyway, I kinda find it interesting that games made solely by women tend to be heavy interpersonal drama with no adventuring or heist shenanigans, and when a game is primarily about adventuring or pulling heists, it seems to be headed by a cis dude. This was super disappointing in the moment, but now that disappointment is mainly gone by, and now I just want to make The Heist and Adventure Game Made By a Trans.
But, that all said, can anyone shed some additional light on these or other games, maybe a game that was co-made by a woman and a man was actually primarily made by the woman and the man was just a contributor, and I just don't know enough about the game in question to know that, or maybe someone on the board knows other games that aren't on the list (other than Koumei's stuff on the board. Tho now I'm tempted to submit those games to whoever made that list...)
