Confessions of a Part-Time Sorceress: First Post (First Impressions)
Diane Salvatore’s introduction was funny and charming and totally rang true. This can not really be said of her husband’s piece. He sounded clueless and maybe a little condescending. I mean, his point about Dungeons and Dragons being a conversational game was a good one, but it was all he seemed able to offer. I kept wondering why, if he really had wanted his wife to play for all these years, he hadn’t tried to teach her or explain it to her himself? Why hadn’t he invited her to play? It’s not like she couldn’t have learned! It just reminds me too much of the many guys who say they want girls to play but mean they want eye-candy to sit around during the game being impressed by them. If she was interested and he hadn’t been making it difficult, she’d have been gaming before now. At least, that’s how it seems!
