I'm not being cynical because I come to you from the future with experience....but then I know one or two people (ok, maybe one) who've actually not had their favorite hobby wrecked by not properly integrating their S.O.  (for all involved, including gaming friends).  That means this is a great question.That said, I'd recommend that you go to a LIVING GREYHAWK or convention event rather than place pressure on yourself or possibly ruin someone elses home game.  Play it with her.  Play a lower level game.  Have a good time at a safe event.  Sometimes it's better too if you just send her with a friend, rather than doing it yourself.  You maybe havent' learned yet, but S.O.'s dont like being told what to do by their S.O's and that includes being told how to play a game.If you've ever read threads regarding someone's S.O. (male or female) wrecking a game and there ending up being hard feelings, IT'S NO JOKE and it happens frequently when a couple begins to fight at the table or brings their baggage to the game.S.O's make the best gamers if they learn the hobby in SOMEONE ELSES environment.  They learn the social norms (like don't fight with your S.O. at the gaming table and drag your pathetic argments to wreck the fun of your friends).  They also learn to like it ON THEIR OWN TERMS, which means don't be pushy.  Let them get a "feel" for the game rather than trying to turn them into some autistic-rules-facist  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />jh</blockquote>
