Invite her to play, of course! And don't pressure her. :D

Let me clarify something - the 'bad' things I posted about (except being called a bad mother) do not currently happen in our group, and most of them are things I've read happened, not had them happen to me. We have a really good group atm, who are very baby friendly, and whom my daughter loves...

Sooooo....I've been reading a bit here and there about gaming groups breaking up for different reasons, and thought I'd post a few hints about gaming with couples (and kids always add to the mix, don't they? :p ). 1. Big one here, and a pet peeve of mine - if you need to apologize, do so to...

I've got to go with Mutants and Masterminds, hands down. Why? Because it's the one I have the most fun playing AND running. :D

I'd like to get some opinions on 4e from other female gamers. Myself, I don't care for the new edition, but I'm interested in other female viewpoints (seen enough from the guys, after all. :D ) So, fellow women gamers, what do you think? And why, if we can talk about it without it turning...

I've never quit because of another player, but definitely because of GMs. One incident, I've already gone into on these boards, so I won't bring that up again. The second involved this GM who had such high powered NPCs, one of the PCs was killed by (swallow what you're drinking now or you'll...

There is something else to consider. When I started gaming in 1985, I was a college student, with only my own expenses to worry about. I bought PH used, and it was right before AD&D came out (or around the same time), so I was irritated at that. However, these days, I have a mortgage, an...

I was relating my view of a couple different instances, and doing so in a manner not to identify anyone. If you feel it was about you, then perhaps you should review events from the games. I don't have an account on CM, nor can I view discussions or comment on anything without one, and I...

In a game my husband was running, we had a pretty standard group of PC's, and a pretty average group of players. One guy, Peter, was this really nice person, and loved having fun. On this particular day, however, every time his character would use his crossbow, Peter'd roll a one, then...

Something I learned from two different DM's, who both unfortunately did this: DO NOT either favor your significant other, or let them know secrets other party members do not know. My husband is adamant that I not know anything the others don't, and I treat him the same, and it does make for...

I work in a library (and one that buys RPG books for check out), so luckily, I'm surrounded by stuff to use for fluff!! I think my favourites are Hamunaptra (That is WAY misspelled, it's an egyptian boxed set) from Green Ronin, along with Black Company also from them. I also love GURPS books...

I was investigating the pricing, but there is no way to get Lulu to show me shipping costs without creating an account. Can you give me a ballpark of what shipping would be? I'm trying to decide if I should get this, Pathfinder, or just wait until something better comes out. Thanx!

I just found out that Boardroom Games, the FLGS in Indianapolis, will be closing in June! :( The owner has been a friend of mine for 15+ years, although I haven't been able to see him much lately due to my schedule. I'm sad to see the store go - I was planning on buying games for my...

Had to be in the Eberron game I was in a couple of years ago. We were in a city mostly populated by gnomes, and I don't remember all the hilarity, but at some point, I came up with the term "Gnomestoppel", which broke up the whole table with laughter for about five minutes. :lol:

I would reccommend you take a look at Black Company, by Green Ronin. There's also Blue Rose, but I think that might be a bit too....happy, I guess, for you. I like Kalamar, but I don't love it. Maybe it appeals mostly to women? And after comparing midnight to Black Company, I sold all my...

I posted about the group I was in breaking up because of various reasons, but the DM missed several instances that showed something was wrong. We had one member of the group who used to keep a storyhour type log of the games....and looking over the last few, my character literally said, maybe...

Try Black Company, by Green Ronin. It's excellent, one of the best dark settings I've seen in quite a while.

I really like Redhurst, and have had a lot of fun using the setting in various ways. And I LOVE the book! Now, if I could only FIND it...it's been a year since we moved, after all! I would also recommend (spell? Having Mom-nesia atm) Blue Rose by Green Ronin for HS age folks. You could also...

I'm going to post a reply to this, even though I myself am not switching. My husband has decided to buy the 4E core books, and to keep buying Eberron. However, he hates what they did to FR, and wants to use my 3.5 books for that. So, it looks like we'll be running mixed games, sort of what we...

Just a suggestion, but....why not have one of THEM run the game for awhile? They may get a better appreciation for what goes into being a DM/GM. And you may appreciate the break, the chance to play, and time to recharge your batteries, as it were.
