[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 5435890, member: 4348"] My spouse is asleep at this time. She enjoys being a player. She enjoys being a DM, but not if I'm a player of the group. She'll kick me out even. She says I'm too chaotic a player...or if she allows people to be, I create to much of a munchkin character and then state that she said we could...aka...I abuse her allowances. (My opinion, if I may say so...is she likes a railroad game...I play more of a sandbox character that thinks outside the box...which typically gets to the end of her campaign before it really begins...or goes outside of what she thought should happen...like the time I decided to burn the bad guys out of a hotel by burning the rose bushes around it and hence burning the building down from the bottom up...got them out...pretty nicely singed...but she wasn't happy with my solution. I think she expected us to battle our way up instead of having everything come to us if they chose to escape...or burn up instead). She likes to follow the group more than lead the group. She likes me as a DM. Most spouses I've had are actually more into the game than their spouse...at least the RPG part. Hmm, actually, I suppose it would mean the wife was the actual gamer and the husband was more the tag-along? In that case, the husbands were more wanting to play simple characters, like a barbarian that goes forward and just fights, or a Fighter that just goes forward and fights...or a Paladin that just goes forward and fights...or a Ranger that...you get the idea. I don't think I've DM'd many couples where only one of them played and the other did not. Actually, I have now that I think about it. Normally they go and do their own thing like watch TV or something like that. Overall I get more singles who play than couples. As I said though, oddly enough, with most of the couples it's been the wives who are more the Roleplayers, and the husbands who come tag-along. I've had a few husbands that brought wives as tag-alongs as well...but normally they were at least willing to give the game a try. Not many wives have actually been the DM however. My wife has been, but as I said...she doesn't really like me in the group when she does so. She says I'm a LOT better as a DM than a player. :( [/QUOTE]
