[QUOTE="Atavar, post: 3779589, member: 7136"] Hey there, Well, I'm the DM, and while we've had numerous new players join our group over the years this is the first time that I, myself, have asked my group to let a new player join the group. The new player is also my girlfriend. My group has a standard procedure for letting new players in the group. I won't bore you with all of the details, but they involve letting someone new play on a trial basis before the DM makes the final decision (after consulting with the players) on whether or not the new player can stay. I intend to continue to follow that procedure, but there is obviously the potential for problems to arise because of my relationship with the new player. So, I thought I'd ask the collective wisdom of EN World for advice. So, what advice would you offer me that can help make this a good experience for everyone in my group and help me to avoid common mistakes that others in my situation have made? Sorry if this seems like kind of a newbie question, but while I am not a gaming newbie I am one when it comes to gaming with a significant other. So, I'll appreciate any helpful advice! Thanks, Atavar [/QUOTE]
