[QUOTE="Veritas, post: 1890166, member: 24638"] My wife started playing D&D because I was into it, but I wasn't the one who introduced her to it. Her older brother played with a bunch of his friends and she was always interested in playing with them, but they wouldn't let her. Something about how geeky it'd be letting your little sister play... like most people who play rpgs aren't geeks to begin with. ;) Anyways, so when I found out she always wanted to play, I got her into playing with my group. Now, they were less than receptive... I mean, they were nice enough, but they really didn't give her the chance to do much. They didn't ignore her or talk over her... they just didn't give her much opening to do anything. The DM was at fault quite a bit too, since he didn't give everyone equal attention, rather just going more with the eople who were more vocal. My wife's nervousness about playing with these guys didn't make her very vocal, so it didn't work out. I got her into playing in the online games I have though... she's playing Tasslehoff in my Dragonlance War of the Lance campaign, she plays a Githzerai rival of my Githyanki in a game we both play in, and we play a husband/wife team of cleric and druid in another game. Oh, and she plays in a Basic D&D game that I run too. So, I helped her get into the game, but she was interested in it long before I met her. [/QUOTE]
