Nope, not yet. A future as a full-time musician is in my cards, though... but it will be a little while longer before that happens. I have no problems with having a kick-ass game development job while I "wait" for that

I don't know about what a lot of other women like, but I know I love the "role playing" adventure games, which seem to be a dying breed.
RPGs are not a dying breed, not by a long shot. There's World of Warcraft, Oblivion, Age of Conan, Diablo III is coming, a new Knights Of The Old Republic is on the way, Fallout 3 is also landing soon...

What is a bit of a dying breed are the classic adventure games like Myst and The 7th Guest. Still, there is hope, because there is at least one publisher dedicated to that type of game:
The Adventure Company Adventure Games for PC and Console

I wish I had a hard core coding mind. I reckon I could pick-up some of it, but I don't think I could ever master it completely.
No one can. There's so much to learn and things change so rapidly, that there really isn't anyone who can claim to have fully mastered the field.
