[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 3383402, member: 22622"] :sorry inside talk: yeah my biggest worry is that she'll be another Nuri. Nuri was one of the problem players who did not really grasp the rules of 3.5 and let her d and d friends make her characters for her. That often resulted in long times where she didn't know what things did or how to do things. Sorry, but I didnt want to get too descriptive because I didn't want biases of the game were entering or the sex to play a part because its not the sex of the player but their interest in the game that worries me. My GF plays in my campaign and does great and I've met some great female players and dms. I'm getting mixed signals from them, thus the post. I talked to her, alone, on the phone and she sounded enthusiastic about role playing but did mention how she's never read the PHB. He's also been pretty honest. He told me he was interested in her playing, but asked me to ask her to join, making it sound like the decision was up to her on rather she'd join or no She has witnessed a game recently, though even that was a mixed signal. My GF, runs shackled city on Fridays. His wife came to the game to watch us play for a paper she's writing for a class. My theory has always been that if you are into dungeons and dragons, or role playing, its hard to just watch without wanting to roll up a character and get into the mix. The game is level 1, and my GF had built a level 1 fighter as an NPC for her to role play. I admit, I was hoping to use this as a chance to evaluate her playstyle. However, she declined the invitation offering only to watch. Halfway through the game she went to sleep. Again, not really sure what to make of it. [/QUOTE]
