[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 294593, member: 6390"] My wife and I play together. She'd play a little before with some friends, but never really played all that much. When we got married, she understood real quick that Fri and Sat, I wasn't out going to the strip clubs, or out to the bar, I was kicked back in a friend's frontroom behind the DM's screen (House rule is that there is NO drinking, since most of us are recovering alcoholics) and not getting into trouble. Now, enough rambling. She likes the creepy investigation stuff, right. The X-Files stuff. Talk to some of your players, see if they mind readjusting the campaign a bit, try something new. There are a ton of plots you can weave that have the PC's are investigating, and nobody in the organization they work in/for believes them. Now, I saw that some people think that wife/husband teams aren't fair to the other players. That's just as stereotypical as saying all gamers are 95lb Ichabod Crane look-a-like's who have never seen a naked member of the opposite sex, and who [i]might[/i] have a nodding aquiantance with soap. I actually had my players tell me that I wasn't cutting my wife enough slack, and when my wife GM's Shadowrun, I have more penalties and problems than everyone else. I'm lucky. My wife not only loves gaming, she's taken delight in helping me flesh out my homebrewed campaign world, and sometimes, when we have free time, she pulls out a character from a group that we left behind when we left TX, and we play one on one. She likes that, because she has had that character for over 8 years, and she (the character) is one of the "Epic" movers and shakers in the world. Things she does have repercussions on the PC's lives, and the other players like that for some reason. Spouses gaming is great. [/QUOTE]
