Growing up, the kids who played role-playing games in my high school were split evenly between guy and chicks. Go figure.
Ditto. There were at least as many girls as guys in my lot.
My husband used to be into these sort of fantasy games. He and a couple of nerd friends went to a convention a few years back to play in a tournament. He came home about two hours after he left. I asked him if he had fun, and he said, very sulkily, no. Why not? "Because I got beat. By a girl. A 10 year old girl." He hasn't played since then, but I still get a good laugh out of it.

Aaahhh, female Geeks. There's nothing like making an inadverdant Stargate or Tolkein reference, observing a flint of recognition in a girl's eyes, and realizing: Even though this woman is absolutely gorgeous, she so used to be a geek!
