[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9726703, member: 59816"] Incidentally, while I understand that there are plenty of folks with wives who play TTRPGs, and wives who play without their husbands (or introduce them) and so on, in my particular case, I've been married for 23 years, and my wife only started to join us as a player in the past six months, after playing Baldur's Gate 3. As a funny aside, she's not a [I]video game[/I] player [I]either[/I], but she watched our son and I playing, and decided to give it a try, then decided to give D&D a try, and now she's firmly hooked. She'll never be great at video games (turn-based is a good fit, because she takes a long time to figure out how to do what video game players would consider 'simple' moves with a controller) but I think she'd have what it takes to be a decent DM, if she's given the chance (and isn't too intimidated to try). I think the boardgame-style elements of the new Starter Set will be a perfect fit for her (she's always enjoyed playing board games, even when she wasn't in to other games). Hey, maybe I should have posted this in one of the many threads on the Starter, instead of one on the FR books, but this thread got me thinking about it! I am ALSO looking forward to those books.
