Sex with the DM

[Shellman]

If you have sex with your DM, and get favorable treatment in the game thereafter, is that an unfair advantage, or should the other players just start having sex with the DM instead?

This is exactly why my group does not allow couples to play in our group. Every single time we've had a couple in our group, there has been some instance of preferential treatment. No matter if its DM to player or player to player!

Our group couldn't exist then as there's 2 couples in the game. That's about half the players including 2 DMs (also the hosts) and another DM (his wife doesn't DM). And the rest of us being single or one player whose BF doesn't play in our group.

Honestly, I think that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. WHy does it have to be a hard and fast rule? A couple bad experiences doesn't mean that every "gaming couple" will be like that. Putting a cage around who can and can't be in your group ifor a reason like that can mean you are missing out on some good players.

I have to agree with this. I have had numerous dating couples and 2 married couples game in my primary group and I have to say that the partnership they share in real life has effected their gaming skills on a positive level.

*shrug*. I was DM for and player with a young lady for five years before we started dating (we are now married). Our modus operandi for gaming is significantly older than our romantic relationship.

I don't need to play favorites for her - in fact, I wind up spending less time on developing material for her characters, because I know her tastes better. I'm freed up to spend more time on other players' needs.

Real answer? Never stop caring about doing things right. You want a nice girl? You want good kids? Do it right, or you won't do it at all. It's all economics, baby.

Isn't it all biologics?

I mean, seriously, a nice girl and good kids probably shouldn't be first on your mind when you're still trying to find a date. Sure, you might eventually want to settle down with one o'them nice, child-bearing types, but maybe not (the world is full of guys who like mean girls, and who wouldn't want to deal with kids if you payed them). Project #1 should be to enjoy yourself around the opposite sex, regardless, and it's hard to do that when you're constantly fretting over whether or not she thinks you did it right.

Self-esteem, baby. If you build it, they will come.

#2 way to feel good about yourself: stop giving other people (especially the types you're romantically interested in) the power to make you feel bad based on their judgement.

Hahaha, maybe I should start a nerd dating advice thread instead.

Meh. Throwing out the baby with the bathwater, if you ask me. Not every couple is so (what I would see as) self-centered or petty.

Dear Dragon Magazine Forum,

I never thought anything like this would ever happen to me...

 

[JoeyD473]

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.

If could get a girl who would sleep with me for XP instead of Restaraunts and gifts I'd gladly say ok

As someone who runs a game in which my wife is a player....

I can assure you that having sex with the DM in no way influences my treatment towards her character.

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

Thats a wife. It is definetly different then if it is a one time hookup or a GF

The DM is taken, if temporarily. Let 'em have some fun. The other players should spend time outside of the game in pursuit of getting laid. (Translated: Guys, go out and date some girls.)

I'm trying, I'm trying

Ha. You need to game with us. In the past five years, I've had roughly six girls in my group who could be described as either "smoking hot" or "pretty damn close to smoking hot".

I've had girls in games I have played in, but when I started my current game this summer I couldn't get any. Please teach me Sensei

Wait, some of you geeks actually get laid? What am I doing wrong?

I'm doing it wrong too

What can I say: as DM, my dream is to have sex with my metalhead/gamer girlfriend (that I don't have yet... ).

If you find one, and then an extra send her my way please

LIES!​
