The Iris Gaming Network and a pool of contributors largely consisting of gamers of the female persuasion have launched Cerise, an online publication envisioned as "a resource by and for women gamers." The planned monthly online mag covers not only videogames, but tabletop games and live action role-playing, aka larping.
Kotaku readers may recall the birthing of the Iris Network, which its founders say was partially fueled by the "rabidly misogynistic sentiments" of this very blog. I originally thought that this was, in part, related to some well thought expert analysis on how I hate women on par with Muslim extremists, but is actually mostly Ashcraft's fault.
For the other half who feel (understandably) misrepresented in the women in games space, you may want to check out their first issue. Topics include crafting, making games that appeal to women and the problem with female avatars.
