[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 1600228, member: 18280"] First off, thanks for all your replies. :) I agree absolutely that you shouldn't force PCs into romances. But I also think that PCs are (often, not always) willing to go places so long as the way is clear. To this end, I've decided to write a section on romance for my campaign world document. I am thinking of creating free feats that are available to characters on the basis on their affections/loyalties only. What they would do, essentially, is allow the character the effects of 1 action point to perform a task related to the object of affection/loyalty once/day (? week ?). This would be a bonus for becoming involved, and would counteract the fear of "my loved one is nothing more than a plot devise." :uhoh: Pregnancy/child rules should be adaptable from either GUCK or [I]The Book of Erotic Fantasy[/I] -- though I imagine that this would take place in "fast forward" time. In the old days, people used to apprentice their children fairly young, and sometimes raising each other's children was a method of forming political ties. I think that could be quite interesting. At the very least, it offers some potential for the parents to still be allowed to adventure. Or I could fast forward 16 years (!) :p Ideas? Comments? And again, thanks for all comments so far.
