[QUOTE="Gorgon Zee, post: 9827183, member: 75787"] So, true story time. I am running the Great Pendragon Campaign, and used the rules for the three fatal beauties with Guenever, so on beholding her for the first time, you have to roll to see how deeply you fall for her. Hywel the Cruel one of my player knights, rolled a critical success and followed up with a 17 on 3d6 to end with an amor (Guenever) of 27. Which means we will automatically succeed on a passion check for her, and has a 40% chance of a critical success. Lancellot, when he first meets Gwen, only has a 19. So the campaign took a bit of a turn there. The player had not even slightly thought of romance as an option at that point, but leaned into it and it has been a ton of fun filling this through. Another player carefully wooed their beloved over a period of ten years until finally marrying. And a third did some strong questing and excellent romancing to become the "Knight of Love" My final knight fell in love with a different player character knight, and the target of their affection retired from serious knightly activities to manage the house and bring up their kids. -------------- Virtually all my games have some form of romance in them. It's a staple of both the genre and of life itself! For me, it's exciting when a system has rules for it, but if not, then it's pretty easy for a GM to make up some sort of challenges or ar actions to support it. Pendragon is a great system for romance because the genre and the rules unite to make it a vital part of any campaign, and the system requires players buy in to the notion that sometimes they may not be 100% in control of what their characters want to do.
