She is single and joined our group to play D&D for the First Time Ever shortly after retiring from MMORPGs.The other is my wife.  She played D&D even before I'd met her, though not often.  She's much more active in RPGs now, and GMs a Spycraft game on the weekends that I'm scheduled to work.  When it's time to game, we're gamer and GM, GM and player, or player and player.Long before our current group attained its current composition, I gamed with a few guys down the street.  When my wife expressed interest in joining the game, and disappointment that she couldn't play (someone had to stay home to with the kids), I introduced her to the rest of the group.  I suggested that we play at our place, so she coudl join the game and so we could both play without having to hire a babysitter every week.  It worked out so well, that we're going on four years playing together at our house.That's when it went from 'my game' to 'our game'...  As soon as she joined in.I don't think it ever really happened in our group.  My wife enjoys the game enough, and has a strong enough personality that it was never a question.  She's ovbiously as much of a gamer geek as any of the rest of us, and always has been.In other words...  My wife is not a gamer because she's my wife.  Nor is she my wife because she's a gamer.  She's my wife AND she's a gamer, because she wants to be.Lucky me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
