[QUOTE="athos, post: 5294263, member: 32605"] Hmmm, not sure why everyone would go running to the husband when their problem is with the wife... Have you tried talking to her? Asking her if she is having fun? Asking her what could be changed to make it more fun for her? You said she is your roommate, surely you can approach her alone in a nonconfrontational manner and see what she likes / dislikes about the game. If she were not married to the GM, and she was miserable with the game, would you just ignore her misery? or would you try to help solve the problem? I would definitely start by talking to her. Whatever you do though, don't bring up sleeping, don't bring up passive agressive behavior, don't bring up anything negative. Figure out a time where she actually did contribute and remind her of that time / instance. Ask her if she enjoyed that game session. See what can be done to make her more a part of the game and not less a part of the game. The fact that she lets her husband continue to DM, IMO anyways, shows she isn't a total loss, maybe if you work with her, you can come up with a new character, or more situations, where she can be an active part of the game and have fun and not be miserable and take that misery out on everyone else. Or, you can go and download OpenRPG, and write off your roommates and play online :) [/QUOTE]
