Gaming with spouse...

| What I've been wondering for the last couple of posts in this
| thread is if anyone finds the converse of the original question
| is true.....that a GM-spouse (boyfriend/girlfriend, lover, etc.)
| sets higher standards for their other half than the other
| players....

I've seen that with some other couples, but I've also noticed a trend:
They're always couples with some kind of "power" issues both at and away
from the gaming table. It's an ugly truth that some particularly bad GMs
are particuarly bad because they're power-tripping weasels, so basically
what you get in THAT case is a power-tripping weasel combining two types of
power-tripping at once.

My previous response remains universal: It's only a problem if the GM is a
bad one, for whatever reason. But yeah, I've seen it happen.
