[QUOTE="DonTadow, post: 2773431, member: 22622"] This is a D and D game not a love connection. I play with my gf and two other couples and I had to establish a rule of "NO LOVIN'" at the game table. No flirting, no hooking up none of that. I joke that the only two people I've ever had to kick out of my game were these two people whom "hooked up during my game". When we (my gf and I) interviewed the girl, she was engaged and her fiance was at the table. A month and a half later, she was practically sitting on the lap of the new male player. By two months he was interupting the gaming session by showing her baby pictures in the middle of the game. The distraction was annoying to myself and the other couples. Honestly, don't want to know too much about the personal lives of my players outside of teh basic friend stuff. Basic stuff iscool but its not my place to go around playing matlock and calling up that girls fiance. That's her own thing, her own problems and her own demons. Your job as DM is to run the game and these things always interupt the game. Pull them aside and give them a warning. Recommend it might be best if they sit in different spots. I"d tell them look, your personal life is not my business, I don't approve of what you're doing but its not my business. As far as the game, it is my business and this is interputing the game. Don't bring it to the gaming table. If you interfere (and thisi s the case with any friend or family member) you are pulling yourself into their problems (which are ALWAYS more complex than simply cheating on someone) and bring problems onto your gaming table. As a matter of fact, I'd only bring myself to interfere if it wasa close friend or family member, other than that its not worth bringing it into my life. It's not as easy as you telling them there's a problem in their relatioship, you're going to be dragged in for future conversations, arguments and may even be blamed as the culprit. [/QUOTE]
