This is a simple roleplaying game to be played in about 15 minutes.
1. Decide on a movie you all know pretty well. Preferably a mainstream movie, at least the first time you play.
2. Pick two or more female characters from that movie.
3. Roleplay a scene – one you create yourself! – where they talk together about something other than a man.
Repeat 1-3 with a different movie.

This game takes its name from the Bechdel Test. It’s a fun exercise in fleshing out characters, and – hopefully – in creating believable female characters in any medium.

Is talking about a boy okay?
I think the first time you play, you probably want to avoid any and all references to males. Just to see how it works.
‘It won’t tell you if any given film is bad or good, but it is an interesting tool to look at just some of the messages mainstream culture is feeding us.’ Read more on the Bechdel Test at http://www.squarise.com – http://squarise.com/2011/09/bechdel-test-is-matters/

Reblogged this on a slice of imagination and commented:
This is a lovely little idea, and as you probably already know, any discussion about the Bechdel test is fine by me. Combine that with a game and I’m happy as a clam!
