I like to see them overcome obstacles together as this proves they need each other and complement one another.

I never knew that d20s even existed! The older you get the more you realize the less you know.

I think I like a little of both. I like it when the Hero/heroine finds her way on her own but also when she has a little help from friends. I love that about Rachel from Kim Harrison’s Books and Liz from Lori Handeland’s Doomsday series. They are both pretty strong females that can manage on their own but just do better with a helping hand.

Yes I have D20’s hiding in my closet. I have a geek hubby and his best friends who play D&D and we all played for awhile. I just liked having pretty dice.

I like teamwork, as long as there’s clear evidence that each member of the team is self-sufficient. “Strong trees don’t grow in the shadows of others” and all that. I much prefer to read about cooperation and complimentary skills and abilities, and shared successes and challenges, than to read about solo superhero characters or Mr/Ms Perfect.

As for the d20s, they are out of the closet and getting quite a lot of use these days! I don’t know if there’s anything more fun than RPG with your kids (now teens and 20s).

I like to see them both working together and on their own. You can see how they are together and not.

I enjoy watching the dynamics of a group working together, how they mesh and how they figure out who does what and when.

Yes, we do have d20s hiding in a box in a closet.

I like team work. There has to be a leader, but in the vein of Kim Harrison’s Hollows series, I love it when people come together. Sometimes to save the hero(ine), sometimes to help execute a plan. The more ass kicking the better.

I like heroines who save the day with the help of a team, but are fully capable of saving the day by themselves if the situation called for it.

Yes, I do like my cake and I would LOVE to eat it too. : )

I like heroines/heroes who aren’t afraid to admit they need a little help. Omnipotency is interesting only so far. Not to mention I really like a good secondary character. Or a whole team of them. Go team!

I think I’m hiding a d20 on paper, but I haven’t seen it since I passed the course.

Found your site from a retweet on Twitter.

I like the heroine to *try* to resolve everything on her own, only to learn that it’s okay to let the hero or secondary characters help out occasionally — independent cooperation, as it were.

And no, I don’t hide my d20s in the closet. They sit in a pretty jar with the d4s, d6s, d8s, and d10s. ;-D

I like a team effort – it’s nice to be able to do things on your own, but it’s nicer to involve the people around you. Lifetime relationships are all about mutual investment.

As for the d20, I have a few of them, but they are gathering dust in my closet with my D&D.
