My wife was one: she was willing to give it a try because I was interested, and was willing to try some of the length board-games I enjoy as well, but has quickly realized that her 'entertainment interest' reaches a limit at about two hours; she'd rather play a series of quick-and-crunchy games than one length one. I think she also felt a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of rules to be familiar with; she ceased coming, and now enjoys taking my 'gaming days' and spending them as 'girls days' with her closest female friends.The other is atypical. Yeah, she is the wife of one of our players, but I would characterize the dynamic the other way around: "He plays because she loves it." She's a gamer through and through, frequently attending cons and able to win competitive games at them. She hosts our game, partly because she enjoys baking stuff for appreciative gamer-types and partly for the convenience of not having to go anywhere.  She also keeps the oh-so-detailed logs from which I base our story hour (<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=70272" target="_blank">Scourge of the Ratmen</a>). She plays the character Miriel, who is very much one of the party's leaders, and to some extent its 'glue' - ties to her character keep a number of the other player characters in the party. So, not the GM, but one of the primary players, if you know what I mean.I love my mental image of that! You go, girl! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
