Hello
Hello,
I'm new here, but I know a few members here already. Hi Thunderfoot and Torin (tkmjcw)!
I know Torin because I'm married to him.

Thunderfoot is a friend of mine and I participate in his current campaign. (I think we have a great group and I'm looking forward to the next gaming session.)
I was (still am) friends with Thunderfoot's wife and she mentioned joining their D&D group. I tossed the idea to Torin (who I hadn't seen game in the previous 13 years we had been together, but I knew gamed in the past). We decided we would give it a try and now two years later, I find myself getting more and more hooked. I had no prior gaming experience and still consider myself a newbie.
I think I've become a gaming monster or something within the last month. I have to admit, I didn't want Torin to go to GenCon, but did more looking around online both a few days before he left and also while he was there. During one of our calls during GenCon, I told him the whole family would be going to next year's GenCon. I even thought briefly about joining him this year and mentioned that prior to his departure, but I've been on bedrest for the remainder of my pregnancy with our 4th child. Kinda hard to go to GenCon Indy when I'm not even supposed to stand for more than 10 minutes per hour, let alone even leave my house. (Although, electric carts had run through my mind.) In the end I'm glad Torin went to GenCon without me this year. Next year, he can have the kids and I'll get to roam around on my own. LOL
So, bedrest is also providing me with plenty of time to surf the Internet and plot, I mean plan, what I would like to do with gaming, etc. I think I surprised Torin when I asked him to buy a 1 on 1 Adventure from Expeditious Retreat for us to play for our anniversary.
I've found a few resources for female gamers and there's been some discussion about having a seminar or something at next year's GenCon. It's still in the early stages, but I'm kind of excited about it. There's been some discussion at Fairgame-rpg.com and also LadiesofHack.com.
Now I need to find an Avatar...
Take care!
