[QUOTE="alsih2o, post: 2195692, member: 4790"] The first two years of my marriage my wife knew I used to game. The next 4 and half I gamed weekly (nearly weekly, real life and all) and she showed the same level of interest she shows in all other things that were "me" things. She wsn't into target shooting but she ws proud when I improved. She wasn't into identifying mosses and molds in the woods but she asked good questions if I pointed somehting out. And when I gamed she asked how it went and had a roung idea of where th plot was. ("Did you make the giant guys leave the snowy valley fort place?") Then, a co-worker of hers was asking about the hobby and she explained how it was part storytelling, part game and part BSing with my friends. Co-worker says "So, it si like poker night, just as much about socialization as about the game?" She arranged for he and his wife to come out and run a short module. We played twice as a group and she has now been with my regilar gaming group for thirteen months. We saw some topiary in a documentary we wre watching the other day. Later, when we were driving, I aksed her "If we could only have 1 shaped bush in the yard, what animal or thing would you want to have?" "Hmmm," she said. "a dragon." Sooooooooooooooo cool. :) [/QUOTE]
