Special Day

This may be a bit off topic for the blog, but I feel I’ve reached a place where I can brag about my marriage. As of today, Brandy and I have been married for four years! Sweet Jesus, that is a long time! Even though she doesn’t read this blog (probably a good thing, she makes fun of me enough as if is) I just wanted to say that it has been a privilege being her husband through good times and bad. Here’s my lame ass excuse to relate this news to gaming. Finding a girlfriend who supports your roleplaying is no easy task. Most women throw red flags and treat the roleplaying process as if were a cancer to the relationship. Some even go so far as to threaten breaking up if one doesn’t cease said action immediately. I know this; I’ve been there before. And I’m very happy to say that I’ve found someone with whom I can compromise all these things with. Brandy is my voice of reason; she supports my imagination and creative process more than anyone else. On the flip side, she is also never afraid to tell me when I’ve overstepped my bounds regarding family issues. But the difference between her and any other woman I had a relationship with is that she doesn’t nag me about it. She respects me deeply, and in return I do my best to return the favor when it comes to things that she wants. Compromising is never easy, but when you’re with the right person the things you gain in comparison to what you might loose easily outweigh. I am a very lucky guy, and I’ll leave it at that. The session summary is going well, but for obvious reasons I won’t be working on it today.
