[QUOTE="Milo Windby, post: 668417, member: 202"] [b]Re: Re: Train them young.[/b] You won't find me complaining, that's for sure! On the gaming couple note, Spacebaby. It's not uncommon for us in the least. While we're waiting to play another installment in Frog's masterful campaign, I'll wax nostalgic on how it all got started... Frog and I were invited to play by a mutual friend who had just picked up the 3E core books. I hosted the games at our apartment at first. My wife was intrigued when she heard how much fun we were having one night. After a little pursuasion I convinced her to join in as a dwarven cleric. Thus Helga Deeperdown was born. Frog and I were playing dwarven fighter brothers at the time. We came across the [I]lawful good[/I] cleric picking poisonous berries in the woods. "To poison BAD people!" Brigit's first foray into role playing is still a source of constant teasing today. Mazi was convinced to join the party when Brigit told her how much fun it was. She broke the dwarven mold by creating an elven wizard. Our little gaming group was getting quite big now. With two couples playing it wasn't too hard to convince our DM's wife to start playing either. She joined in as a halfling ranger. By now our little group was getting a little bloated. We were playing through the Forge of Fury at the time. Not too long after the DM's wife joined, another player was thrown into the mix in the form of another mutual friend playing another ranger. Now we had six PCs and a wealth of children running around. Things got a little out of hand around then, not to mention there were some hard feelings caused by the DM's gaming style. We just stopped playing. A few months later Frog offered to DM a smaller game in his home involving myself, Brigit, and Mazi. His son joined in for the ride as well. The rest is detailed in these very pages. Now Brigit and I are involved in three gaming groups. I've started DMing for Brigit, our ranger friend and his wife from the first game, and two other friends from work. Brigit and I play in another game with those same friends as well as two other couples we know from work. In our gaming circle we actually know six couples that play together, not including ourselves. So, to make a long story short (too late) it seems almost natural to have everyone play together. :D [/QUOTE]
