Wow another female gamer...... YES! We do really exist!
Although I gotta note that I take my fondness for gaming perhaps a *tad* too far. As in I'm planning to play out action sequences for my fics on a hex map to keep it believeable. And, oh no even worse, I'm planning to have Jack discover RPGs during a lockdown. *hides head from thrown objects*
But realistically the opprotunities for humor abound with that little plot bunny. Especially if he cons the rest of SG-1 to join in. Can you imagine them creating charactures! Not to mention gaming is a superior way to learn how to improvise with small team/party tactics without injuring anything but papers and pencils......maybe the odd hex map or so. I know that's where I learned it.
And I can't COUNT how mant times I've watched/read something, canon or fan made, where I was thinking "Sheesh this person really needs to Game with a good GM for a while" Although I've got to admit those instances usually occur when I'm watching or reading something brought out as professional. It is my confirmed opinion that anyone who writes professionally in the Action/Adventure or Horror genre should be a part of a good gaming group for at least two years.
