Introduction

Hello! My name is Stephanie. A little about myself: I am married to a wonderful man who is about to go to basic training for the U.S. Army is January and we live in Western Washington for the time being. We have been gaming (mainly Dungeons and Dragons/World of Darkness, but a few others here and there as well) together with a varying group for about four years now. I decided to start writing this blog after getting far to many ideas related to game and having no real place to put them down. So stay tuned for a very girly perspective on the world of game.
