[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 1421302, member: 463"] In the Bubblegum Crisis-universe PBEM I played in, my PC was still in love with his dead wife Sara (murdered by GENOM Boomers), and the romance focussed on his relation with the shy secretary NPC who was trying to bring him out of his shell. It worked very well and seemed quite sweet AIR. It was probably more mature than a typical Anime plot, my PC Derrick was clearly an adult rather than a teenager. Over the years DMing D&D I've seen a fair number of PC-NPC romances, but they tend to be highly abstracted, at least in recent years. If anything there was more PC-NPC romance when we were all teenagers in highschool than currently, I recall one PC was very attached to the elven Guildmistress of the Wizards' Guild, Elfishna - when she died he yelled "Fishie! NOOO!!!" :) My D&D campaign generally focuses on combat & politics, I'd not be averse to a romance plot if it came up but I wouldn't want to shoehorn it in, and I think some players definitely handle these things better than others - some posters here seem very comfortable with romance in RPGs, others have an "eew, cooties!" type reaction. :lol: [/QUOTE]
