Sex with the DM

[Sunglar]

Well that sad reality is that, except for a brief time in 8th grade, I have been DMing for all male groups going on twenty years now, and I’m not into guys so getting extra xp because of sex is out of the question.

I did have a friend in high school who knew I liked a classmate of his. He introduced us in exchange for getting an armored Veritch in the Robotech game we were playing. It had better armor, loads of missiles, etc.)

(Hellos I am Sunglar, and I have played Palladium. That is the first step right?)

I went out on a date and went out with her for some months. However on the first session said player got his new toy he was ambushed by the enemy and taken down.

What the GM giveth he teketh away! Jejejeje!

Isn't that a bit unhygienic?

Not to mention, given the subject matter, the danger of a broken Wii strap . . .

Maybe in 4e they'll have rules for this sort of thing.

I heard that 4e is really gonna put the "drag" back into dragon!

Edit: I know for a fact that's a 4e miniatures preview in the link above! And you just read it on the interwebs so you know it has to be true.

My wife doesn't care for DnD, so she pretty much gives me 'favors' not to have to play. Does that count? lol... she's a WoW addict

Honestly I've gammed many times with my fiance in the group. If anything I was harder on her character then the other charaters because I did not want to be accused of being preferential.

Power Word: Couch, on the other hand...

No kidding. Worst banishing spell in existence.

One of the best quotes about such things came from the wife of a former DM of mine:

"The worst thing about living with the DM is you have to sleep with the person who just killed off your character."

That said, in my own game I've been as ruthless with my SO's characters as with anyone else's, and she's cool with it...in fact, some of the incidents she laughs most about now are those in which one of her PC's met some spectacular end or other...

Still, it's all too true the most powerful item in some games is the Ring of DM Control.

I think Monte touched on the theme of this question in a dungeon craft article. Sometimes the person who you think as being worthless in the group is the reason another person comes to the game.

I remember one spouse of a husband/wife team in my game. If I didn't cater to the spouse's will sometimes, she would start creating trouble in the group outside of the game. I must say I had a hard time juggling non-significant rewards for her. Basically I gave her rp awards...it was like dealing with a 6 year old. Still if I hadn't done it I would have lost her husband and then two other players.

My advice to anyone stuck watching someone else get favors is to talk to the DM about it. It might all be a misunderstanding.

Step 1: Meet an amazing girl

Step 2: Sleep with her

Step 3: Admit that I play D&D (note that you never do this BEFORE you sleep with her!)

Step 4: Form a relationship

Step 5: Invite her to play, too.

Heck, this is how a lot of my groups *started*.

But I've never given favors to the girl in the game, and I let them know that's not cool -- I treat you with nice restaurants and gifts and my attention, not with XP. That's lame. Super-lame.

Unless it's a one-on-one D&D game with the girl of course... then I'd be hard pressed to not consider allowing a change to the usual practice. Game w/ other people? no-no. Game with just her? Maybe! The game's already focused on her anyway...
