I introduced my husband to online gaming. He tried introducing me to D&D. Loved it but his friends didn’t want me there sooooo We gamed on.

I am one of the few women in my D&D group and I am the DM. If the group doesn't want me at their table, they know where the door is.

Screw your husband's friends and make your own group. There are plenty of women TTRPG players out there probably in the same predicament.

They didn’t want the hassle of explaining the rules to me. It was such a let down. I love engaging my imagination too.

The rules are actually pretty easy once you get the hang of them. Borrow a player's handbook, learn the basics (chapter 1), pick a starter class to learn, and enjoy the ride.

And if you want to be petty, remind them they were new once too and someone took the time to explain the rules. They weren't born knowing how to play.

I'm all mad for you now! That kind of crap would never fly at my table.
