These are some of the good words about gaming moms that we received in the previous years. (They have been modified slightly for privacy reasons.)  

I enjoy being a stay at home mom and gaming. My kids are incredibly  important to me. But gaming provides something to focus on and look forward to when the days are tough. I've been gaming for about 2 years now and am starting  to GM bit. (In our small group of 4 we've got 3 who want to GM. Must take  turns!) I love the creative outlet, and look forward to the day my kids are old enough to game with us.

I game with three Gamer Moms.

The first is my brother's wife.  We met her when we started gaming with her brothers, and have gamed with her for a good 17 years.  Her gaming style tends to be more roleplaying over hack-n-slash.  She has neat character concepts that add to the group.

The second is my friend's wife.  I have been gaming with her and her husband for about 3 to 4 years.  She is a casual gamer, and doesn't ever seem to remember the rules ("now which die do I roll again?").

The third is my own wife.  She is a lot like my friend’s wife; she games more for something to do with me.  Sometimes she really gets into it, though (depends on the GM).

I am interested in Bits of the Boulevard, so that I may enhance the city scenes when running games for these moms.

Just letting you know about the best gamer mom out there – my wife! She started pen-n-paper gaming about 4 or 5 years ago, and prior to that she was hooked on several MUDs while in college. Now she is totally hooked on D&D and on long drives to visit family, the kids will be in back watching a movie and we’ll often be up front having long discussions about our campaigns and characters. Also, when we had to drop out of our regular group for a while when our second child was born (of 3), the two of us started our own sporadic campaign. Years later when we need a “gaming fix” outside of our regular weekly campaign, we still have our own side one running. Lastly, she not only manages to watch all 3 kids during the day as a stay at home mom, but she usually whips up some yummy treat with the kids’ help every Wednesday for when “Mama and Papa’s friends come over to play”.  

Talking with her, she would like a coupon for the “Bits of Darkness: Bundle” if that’s alright. I’ve been trying to talk her into an all-Underdark campaign, and she wants to make sure I don’t keep referring to the same bland empty hallways and tunnels. 

Thanks, and let me say that this is a GREAT idea! Gamer moms certainly deserve some recognition!

I met my wife in college thanks to gaming. We'll have been married 16 years come May 19th, and our 14-year-old son is already gaming (D&D 3.0, d20 Modern and Pendragon).

And, if being just a gamer isn't enough, I'm the convention chairman for our regional gaming convention, and my wife has served as our Registration Coordinator for the last 10 years!

Thanks!
