[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 5296205, member: 29398"] What???! D+D has no rules for a lot of things*. And if you're working up to suggesting that as soon as the game goes beyond the written rule-set it isn't D+D anymore then get ready to be soundly disagreed with by a whole bunch of people. :) * - 3e's best attempts notwithstanding. Romantic subplots crop up on a regular basis in my game. Thus far in the current campaign there's been, oh let's see...one marraige (albeit unintentional), three romances/affairs (one lesbian), one PC-vs.-PC murder over affairs of the heart, one pregnancy-childbirth (not from the marraige), and several failed pursuits and courtships. All of this while at the same time getting on with some serious mule-kickin' in various dangerous adventures. In another game - I was a player in this one - my dumb rookie PC managed to attract the fondness of one of the senior PCs in the game over the course of a few adventures. My guy then died, and failed his raise roll when she tried to bring him back. Undaunted, she built up her levels and saved up her money until she had enough of both to [B]walk down to Niflheim [/B](Norse hell; and this represented an entire adventure all on its own) [B]and steal him back[/B], so she could later marry him. So yes, romance and adventuring *can* be intertwined. :) Are you honestly saying we're not playing D+D??? Lan-"roleplaying how a character changes when a loved one dies can be fun too"-efan [/QUOTE]
