[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 720056, member: 8530"] Well, as readers of my Story Hours already know (shameless plug) romance is and has been a factor in our storyline for years. We have played continuously for 21 years, with 14 years of character time passing, during which there have been several romances and marriages. This has also led to pregnancies and children, all of which adds more flavor to the game. And character romances do not have to have any relation to real life either. The group's party leader, a half-elf fighter (played by a male player) recently married his girlfriend, a elvan archer (who I play). That same player has another character who is involved with one of my wife's characters. The relationships add more to the game, making the fantasy world feel more real. The only real catch to this is that when a player with a married character leaves the group the character usually stays in the game as an NPC stay-at-home spouse rather than leaving as well. We have also added in the concept of homosexuality as well, through a pair of NPC's. One is at the extreme of being very open and flamboyant, while the other is a prominent political leader who keeps this aspect of his life a closely guarded secret. (BTW, love the thread title. "The Princess Bride" has always been a personal favorite of mine, having seen it with my own bride shortly before proposing to her.) [/QUOTE]
