Love and gaming

I met RangerWickett in a Gen Con. We are not acctually boyfriend and girlfriend but...

well, its very complicated, you'd have to be there to understand

I met my woman outside of gaming. And I decided to not push the hobby on her, mostly because I didn't want her to hate it and make me quit. I may yet introduce her to gaming when I get the free time though.

We met gaming, first at a Con then at a friend's regular game. It took us a long while to get started because of that, because I spent months wrestling with my desire to not be another guy hitting on her at a convention.

I'd love it if my wife was interested in gaming. I think that pigs will fly before that ever happens though! She just doesn't have the interest in fantasy or the attention span that's needed. Heck, I've had enough difficulty finding a 2-player board game that is strategic enough for me but simple enough for her.

Oh well, I could think of a lot worse problems than her not liking gaming.

Olaf the Stout

Same boat as Olaf... only I have two sons who will hopefully pickup my love of gaming. I just have to wait a while, they are only an infant and a toddler at the moment.

Met my GF in college, she was majoring in animation while I was majoring in film. We met in editing class and it's been going since.

She's been playing for years before we met. Unfortunately, I can't get her to play with me because she's a 1E purist. She just doesn't think there's anything wrong with 1E. She might eventually convince me to run another 1E game though.

I met my boyfriend at one of our campus gaming club's quarterly game days. I signed up to play an RPGA game, and he was GMing.

 

[Arrgh! Mark!]

GM's always get the chicks.

It's that awesome power... combined with the responsibility for whole kingdoms...


Or just the man that makes her feel that way.


When she gets experience I mean.

Friends With Benefits?

 

[Treebore]

My wife joined my gaming group while I was out on deployment. We got along OK. Then I went out on deployment again, and then when I got back we hit it off pretty good. Asked her to marry me a couple of weeks later, she said yes, about two months later we were married and our 16th anniversary was November 17th.

The greatest thing from a gamers perspective, is she is the best DM. She creates the best "worlds" I have ever had the pleasure to play in. My kids feel the same way, so whenever my wife feels strong enough to DM we quickly set up to do so.

I am not currently attached, but all my girlfriends have gamed to one extent or another. My track record sits at 40% introduced to it by me, 40% who had become interested in it previously but got into their first serious games with me, and 20% who had tried it in a reasonably serious way already before I was in the picture.
