Reflecting on fantasy and mythic literature that comprises the basis for D&D one is struck by the absence of Love in the game. Mechanics are almost impossible to bring to bear on the subject, but it seems that there should be some way to employ the idea of a true, undying Love in the game.

Any ideas on how else to employ this in the game?
Have you checked out Love & War? It sorta covers this sort of thing. It's aimed specifically at the notion of love as portrayed in Arthurian romance, and the like, but it seems to me that the rules would be a good place to start from, especially if you're using a D20 System game. Check out <http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/10/10551.phtml>. But don't take too long--anything with a D20 System logo will be disappearing at the end of teh year, right?
