[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 271293, member: 463"] I just consulted with my wife and she agrees strongly with me that showing the kind of favouritism many posters seem to advocate is NOT the way to go, if you expect to keep your players. Besides which, knowing the GM will always let the PCs survive totally devalues their in-game accomplishments. My wife commented that "if she had her PC go on a spiritual retreat to a cabin in the woods while she was away, and it got attacked and her PC killed", THEN she'd be angry. But playing in a gamestore hack & slash game and expecting wifely invulnerability would really suck. I agree with those who suggest that maybe your roleplayer wife shouldn't be in the same campaign as your hack & slash gamestore players. Maybe you should run some solo games for her, maybe you should get some new roleplayer-type players (off the Internet? worked for me!). [/QUOTE]
