Vincent,
It wouldn't have been a complete or successful con for me if we hadn't had the chance to sit down and talk. Our sparse and infrequent conversations are especially important to me—a reinforcing of the communal bonds and the "mission statement" as it were.
Macho Women with Guns is one of the most feminist games out there. It's funny, I never thought of what we do as particularly pro-fem. (It's still heavily a boys club just by virtue of numbers.) Our group is pretty much pro whatever, so long as you're a game designer and you buy into the concept of mutualism. If that allows for little heard or underrepresented voices to be heard, so much the better! Let us continue to design games (and sell them) without prejudice or restraint.
