[QUOTE="Wicht, post: 720066, member: 221"] Actually Buttercup, I can understand and agree. I think part of my thinking is having experienced (and continuing to experience) a real, permanent and very personal relationship with my wife, to try and recreate that feeling in any way ingame would be, well, for lack of a the right word, not as special, meaningful and would feel very artificial. Plus it might make my wife start wondering why I felt compelled to look elsewhere for romance. ;) Now as a DM I am also very hesitant about trying to work romance into the game. For one reason one of the players is my wife and it would be sort of weird to develop a romance between her character and one of my NPCs (would be like making out in public or something). The other players are a man and wife who are both playing male characters. The fourth player is their son. Too much room for confusion, hurt feelings and general weirdness with in game romances IMO. Real life relationships are complicated enough without adding to the mix. [/QUOTE]
