Women haven’t always gotten the red carpet treatment when it comes to their roles in video games. They have been overlooked, inserted as poorly written fan service, or a damsel in need of saving. But things have changed over the years, and it’s more than indie studios creating games with female protagonists. Larger developers and publishers are recognizing that women enjoy playing video games just as much as men. And that games featuring strong female protagonists are just as sellable as those featuring men. It’s apart of a growing trend that branches away from the norm. Giving girls the chance to see themselves as more than a princess in need of saving, but as someone who’s courageous and has the power to overcome the odds. So, let’s take a look at some great games that feature an equally great female protagonist.

I was in need of a new set of coasters for my office after my mini pallet coasters started to fall apart. So searched the internet for something cool but after a half an hour of searching, I didn’t find anything worth buying. Then while I was digging through my craft supplies I found a pack of wood circles and decided to make a set of coasters. I went through a few ideas in my head before deciding on a set of PlayStation buttons. So I dug through my box of acrylic paint for the right colors, created a template for the shapes in photoshop, and started on work on my new coaster set. They were easy to make and pair well with the decor of my office.

So if you’re looking for a new coaster set or a gamer looking to add some flair to your game room, give this project a try.
