Nope, she's never played them, but she did prick up her ears at the idea of a ST:TNG RPG. She's been mostly positive about them, buying them for me as a kid, but was a bit weirded out by VtM.

No, she hadn't any personal contact with RPGs or games in general, she did play Rommé but not much more.
She was pre-war generation and despite her father being in Skat, Chess and Checkers, she wasn't.
It wasn't her kind of leisure time activity, hers was reading a book.
I think it is partly a generation issue . . . being pre digital, pre mass media and pre universal access to anything and everything.
Ciao

My daughters character had indeed done it... everywhere in the kingdom people watched demon soap slapstick in their repurposed spy crystals. while eating hell spice pentos (pentagonal doritos)
During the campaign we had changed our world and the demon lands through commerce and cultural exchange.

She's a self proclaimed nun now. One book, no games, no music, no other subjects... we get along as expected.

And second.
And first dozen, I'm sure.
She didn't try playing herself until much later, I think until after I was already an adult, but we played together a few times at conventions.
Wish I'd played with her more while she was still around.

They succeeded in winning the war so they ended up with much more land, influence, and had troubles of not having enough peasants and knights left to deal with the day to day issues
My friend ran a game of D&D where everyone was so wealthy there just paying servants to do minor quests so on one caravan route, we all transported to Dark Sun....
I can't think of anything modern

I ran a campaign where the group of 6 PCs needed 4 major successful political or physical confrontations or else their country (where they were some of the king's advisors) would go to war against their neighbor. They failed and were annoyed as a group until I reminded them that twice I told a player that failed what his mission would need to be and he did random things and got thrown in prison instead.They succeeded in winning the war so they ended up with much more land, influence, and had troubles of not having enough peasants and knights left to deal with the day to day issues
