Diary of a WarGame Wife: Introductory Article

[wittdooley]

So my wife decided (or was perhaps coaxed) into contributing to our site. What was birthed was the "Diary of a WarGame Wife." It'll probably be a bi-monthly (or monthly, depending on her readiness) feature with her perspective on all the nerdy shyt I do.

Enjoy, and be nice-ish. She's not quite one of us....yet.

Oh yeah, she'll also be doing a live diary next week during GenCon Indy, her first non-teaching convention ever. It's going to be interesting.

Entertaining. Look forward to more.

My fioncee has no interest in the game. She tolerates my painting and gaming evening, and I don't push her to play. Its a good balence

She mentions it in the article, but I don't push her to play at all. However, I have found that the competetion does spice things up for us. She's really into Ticket to Ride and Summoner Wars, and she enjoys playing Talisman while drinking.

She wants to pick out a miniature for me to paint for her at GenCon, so we'll see where she goes with that.

That's a really nice article. I look forwards to the next.

I would suggest changng from white writing on a black background. Makes my eyes go spoggly!

[SotonShades]

very nice. not helping me get my tournament army ready to leave in 5 hours, but still a fun read :) at least she doesn't describe herself as a wargaming widow yet :P

[Emerald Rose Widow]

[Denzark]

A nice article.

One question - is that silhouette at the top of the page your missus...?

;)

[Drunkencorgimaster]

That was great. Very clever. I'm sure there are other women out there who could sympathize.

Nice article.

My wife tried...tried gaming. We learned she has no interest in it whatsoever. And I have no interest in running marathons, so it works out for both of us. :)
