Re: [HoE] Ok, I gots a problem

If she's interested in roleplaying, by all means, encourage her BUT be
careful.    You've been seeing her a week?  What's going to happen if things
don't work out between the two of you?  It is always easier to ask someone
to join your group than to ask them to leave.  Just think it through.

When we started dating, I got my wife to try roleplaying and she really
enjoys it except that she's a bad and annoying gamer.  If we weren't
married, I wouldn't let her watch one of my games, much less play, but I'm
kinda stuck with her . . . Luckily, she's deranged enough not to like
Deadlands or HoE, so those games are safe . . .
