It began before we dated, when I ran a Champions game. Then were dating during my WW campaign. Now we are married and he's playing in my new Amber campaign. I'd say he likes my games -- he refused to play Amber for *years* but was willing to try my game when I decided to run one. I don't think I'm unfair with respect to Kevin's character -- Jenn, Josh, correct me if I'm wrong. I try not to give him any more or less of the game than anyone else. I try to tailor my games so that each character gets their time to shine. I also find that it is often a stress-relief from real life. Gives us a chance to connect a bit and have fun, instead of dealing with real life trauma. *smile* I'm glad we can game together.
