Mine hates it.
'Course, she hates all computer games.

My mother plays, but she's still afraid to post. Although not particularly interested in playing all the time, my g/f is more than happy to play. Especially as it runs on my laptop and can be brought on trips. Along with RuneSword, WDK2K and Nox, we can fill all of our travel times.

This game just gives my wife something else to bug me about. (she hates anything about aliens.)

My wife hates this game too. She also hates Babylon 5, which is how (oddly enough) I got hooked on this game.

My gf doesn't understand the entire concept of gaming. She can't see how "violence" in any form could be entertaining, and is baffled about why anyone would find roleplaying games "fun".

Violence not entertaining???? Man, I don't think I have ever met one living soul that did not at least UNDERSTAND that concept. its just too ingrained in human nature not to understand. like or dislike as you will, its a pretty hard concept not to grasp.

I think I recall Heinlein writing (and correctly so, as far as I can figure) that laughter and humor are invariably based on situations derived from the suffering of others.

which is why "non sum-zero" methods of entertainment are rare to non-existant. but that is a concept that would take f-ing forever to even explain, much less discuss.
