[QUOTE="BSF, post: 2416145, member: 13098"] Point out that roleplaying is a good exercise in problem solving and critical thought. There is a reason why so many college classes include roleplaying aspects. Whether dealing with dishonest employees, disgruntled customers, or whatever, there are many classes that use roleplaying to help teach people to think and respond. Sure, they often use some sort of euphemism for it, but it is still roleplaying. Heck, isn't this what parents are supposed to do? "OK Jimmy, I am a drug using loser you meet at a party and I offer you some dope, what do you say?" That is roleplaying. So you also mix it with fantasy and mythology and make it fun as well. I know some people just don't 'get it', but that has equally baffled me and I just agree to disagree with those folks. Of course, my wife is supportive of my gaming and often joins my games. My son can't wait to join us at the table. My situation is just a little different from yours. Take your time and don't push too hard. Maybe your fiancee will come around sooner or later? [/QUOTE]
