When I was 20 years old and in the U.S. Air Force...
One of the guys in my gaming group at the time said there was a new girl in his department that he was bringing to the next session. "Cool," I thought, "another player." And thought no more of it.
The following week, the evening before gaming, some non-gaming friends and I went out to eat. We met another friend, who'd brought along someone we hadn't met before.
"Wow, pretty girl," I thought.
Conversation ensued, "Wow, smart, pretty girl," I thought.
Gaming gets brought up...turns out she's the new girl coming to gaming, "Smart, pretty, gaming girl!" I might have fainted right there, if not for my dignity.
A month later, we were married (yep, a month). Fifteen
years later, two of our four kids game with us on Friday nights and I'm about to start up a "family campaign" for all of us on Sundays. I just landed a job with WotC and my wife is doing freelance layout for roleplaying products and entered RPG Superstar.
Best family ever. True story.
