My rant.

<snip> and I hate dark chocolate with a vengance.

I'll take it off your hands! ;-)

I'm a paladin with a choice. I can torture the evil sorcerer into tellling me how to stop the device that will destroy the city, or I could keep my purity and let the device detonate. The right thing to do is commit the evil deed and torture the info out of him. Not according to the book of exhalted friggin deeds.

Yeah!

<snip> DRAGONS ARE COOL lets make the world a dragon, and people draw dragons on themselves, and we need a ton of dragon gods, and dragon worshippers, and dragon spells and armor and weapons and everything will either look like a dragon, be a dragon, or will turn into a dragon in a few levels.

Uhhh! My kid is running a game where everybody is half dragon and half something else. One is half nymph. Yuck.

I want a mana system, not this strange spell per day stuff. After all there are no video games out there that can teach me how to use it. So I'll ressurect some of the old psionics stuff, completely change it, and create a new set of spells. All I have to do is change the names and no one...

We've instituted such a thing in our game. The Sorceress was going nuts with the illogic, and God said, "What would you rather have?" and the Manna system was devised. It's working really well.

My rant:
I don't like long battles. I don't like slime, giant scorpions or bad smells. I don't like my character being so pivotal to the game that I can't miss a session once in a while. Goddam Chosen of Correlon! Sigh.

Okay, this is how you explain it to her. When she asks what you do on your boy's night out, you go out and rent Brokeback Mountain, and watch it together.

Before you answer any of her questions, pull out a copy of "The Gamers" and watch it.

Then you tell her that what you do on your boy's nights out is way closer to the second movie than the first, and no matter what she thinks of your hobby, at least she'll be releived.

LOL! Don't bother with Brokeback, *just* show her "The Gamers". And nibble on her neck while you watch it together and tell her this is a spoof of what you do with the Guys.

If she's not much into the gaming, it may be that the dicing bores her, and the battles take too long. (I know that's how I feel, and I'm our Game's chronicler as well as a Sorceress' Familiar.) Women are usually more into storytelling and less into arithmatic.

I could have picked several on this thread to answer. The question of What's better, boinking or exploring the caverns and then boinking, misses the solution, which is to boink at least before and and maybe after exploring the caverns. If she's got that great just-come glow, she won't be as unhappy as if she's horny and waiting for you.

And you said "slutty", well, slutty isn't necessarily bad, but if you or she are going to have other playmates you both need to communicate a LOT and about more than just D&D.
