ghostwalker Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 So after a few conversations around here, I have noticed there seem to be a few couples who game together. It seems there is a higher proportion playing malifaux or on the wyrd forums than any other forum I have ever been on. So I was wondering how many gaming couples are on here (be it bf/gr of married or whatever). Also did you convert them or were they already gamers. For my part- I am engaged to gamesmistress (carol) she was already a wargamer but had been on a break from the hobby. We used to play 40k but malifaux has really re-ignited the wargaming flame.

TheOneWhoFell Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Capoeirista222 and I game together (he's my boyfriend). He was trying to convert me to 40k but I didn't have the money... Then he picked up Malifaux... And you see where I am now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightgaunt98c Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I'm converting my girlfriend. She has two Malifaux crews, and she's giving Warhammer fantasy a try. That said, she hasn't actually played any games yet, so she's still a work in progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamesmistress Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Well i used to play 40k several years before i met ghostwalker. Met ghostwalker and started plaing 40k again then he found Malifaux and not looed back since. We now play as frequently as we are able.

Hayleyish Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 My husband and I play. He'd heard about an escalation tournament at a new wargaming shop that had opened so him and a few friends decided they would give it a try. Initially I wasn't very impressed, I thought it was the hobby of teenage boys, but a bit of research showed otherwise so I joined in too. That was Warhammer. We're now getting into Warmachine and, of course, Malifaux. Our good friends live across the road from us and they also play, so that's another couple. I don't think I know any others though.

nilus Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 My wife was a generic Sci-fi/fantasy nerd but getting her to game was not hard. She was pretty big into Hordes for a while. She's tried Malifaux(she is my demo guinea pig) but her current hobby of being Super Mom takes up most of her time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 My wife was the one who encouraged me to quit a real job to write malifaux...does that count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaosLenny Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 my girlfriend put together a fine looking Cult of December crew and has some pretty good looking Showgirls on the way... She was also the one who encouraged me to post my fiction on the forums...if it wasn't for her I'd be reading the fluff instead of help writing it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOneWhoFell Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 @Eric: that is awesome! Props to your wife, and thank her for me/us, will ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Albrecht Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm fortunate enough to have the coolest girlfriend ever, whom enjoys my odd forays into games with equal fervor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuesday Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 And I actually have the coolest boyfriend ever, who got me into games and Malifaux and bravely put up with my non-wargaming brain struggling to make sense of things for the first several games.

TheSpiderJoe Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 I got my fiance to play Dungeons and Dragons and Paranoia. She's really open to these types of games but wargaming might be a bit of a stretch. Her one solid argument is that the game doesn't feel like it will be as "epic" as the miniatures that represent the characters. What she means is, when I'm laying waste to terrain with my whirlwind (40k game), she wants to see actual missiles flying instead of just using your imagination. Granted, she's also anti-chess but after seeing and playing a few games, I'm sure she'll change her verdict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 My wife was the one who encouraged me to quit a real job to write malifaux...does that count? Qudos to your wife Eric! And for the record, you guys are all jammy! Gamer chic for a partner!?!.. :hmmmm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightseer Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 My wife was the one who encouraged me to quit a real job to write malifaux...does that count? Big thanks to your wife! My girlfriend wasn't really into wargames (I've been playing 40k and Necromunda before) before I showed her Malifaux...now this one was what she instantly liked. We bought some starters (gremlins for her), played some games...turned out she didn't like the playstyle of gremlins, so, she's playing Raspy now And she's also into RPGs, plays with us every week, and she's even a Dungeon Master sometimes Yeah, I have a REALLY COOL gf!

Regnak Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 My fiancee used to play all the oldskool pen and paper RPG games and she picked up a few bits of 40k as she was interested in trying it. But for her to come up with a sizable army to take on my Death Korps of Krieg she would of had to cough up lots of cash so her enthusiasm sorta disappeared. She then came along to Salute with me and we discovered Malifaux.We are getting our stuff painted up at the moment. Shes gone with The Neverborn and I've picked The Ortega's. It seems to be a game that has something for everyone and appeals to both the Guys AND Gals. :flame: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
