[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 4172644, member: 9037"] The player has decided not to play in any campaign my roomate runs. She didn't say why. She did say she wants to play in my game and that she is having fun. The downside of this is my roommate is pissed because now she feeesl this is directed at her DMing skills. The upside is that we have two other friends who have been wanting to play. The husband used to play in his teens and has been itching to play in a table top game. The wife has never played. She is a big fantasy fiction fan as well as an anime fan. She has been a little afraid to play because of the complex rules. Looking through her husbands old 1E book really confused her. They came over last night and we talked. The husband wants to play a halfling cleric of Pelor he likes healing. She wants to play an elf mage. She asked me to make her character for her so after talking to her we went with sorcerer. My roommate and the husband are getting together tonight to help make his cleric. I assuraed the wife that I remember well being a newbie and having a great DM who made my first character for me and the group being patient with helping in game. I also told her that I found it easier to learn by playing than sitting and reading the book. I have to say this though why is it gaming can bring out the weirdness in people? The friend that is not playing has no problem saying no I don't want to see that movie or go to that resturant. She has no problem opening her mouth if she feels hurt or slighted about anything else. I have seen it and read about other people who are great friends but get them at a gaming table and weirdness comes out. [/QUOTE]
