[QUOTE="alsih2o, post: 1740596, member: 4790"] Setting aside the REAL alsih2o, I give you words form my wife, who recently started playing- Yes it really is ME not em ;) The first think I thought when Clay showed me your initial post was "don't think of it as teaching her, rather letting her find out about it by asking you questions and figuring it out herself? Then, reading everyone's comments, I realized what made my introduction into gaming so great was playing with people who were experienced. That way I could watch how [B]they [/B] handled the various situations. Also I could ask [B]them [/B] for help and not the hubby. I got the whole "group of people working/playing together" feeling, which I have to say is still my favorite part.
