Have you ever had romance in your games? Like, not just "bard banging the barmaid" moments, but like long, passionate relationships that built over the course of the game?

Does it count when my PC became soul-mates with arc antagonist once? Through diablerie.

Story time?

...

I think I could trust like, 3 players I've ever played with to do a romance plot in a way that wasn't fucking cringeworthy.

In fact, the one player who ever asked for a romance plot (in fucking Black Crusade, of all games) left the next session because it wasn't the fucking D&D he was used to.

Plenty, but I play in groups who enjoy that sort of thing. PC/PC and PC/NPC relationships happen pretty often, often lasting a long time and being an interesting source of roleplaying, drama and plot hooks.

azn elf is for hug not fug!

Marcille a pure

My old GM had a PC on the side that started getting possessive of our rogue because he was a "bad-boy".

They kept their personal (e)RP out of the group tho' and all we got in our sessions was the rogue getting looked at with knowing smiles when they both came out of the same tent together.

It's obvious they were heading for marriage and it was pretty wholesome and non-intrusive so didn't mind.

Seriously get a playing group where everyone is gay, very comfy if you wanna attempt proper romance without the drama.

Please keep it Veeky Forums.

Kind of? Got banished to another planet with my character's rival and they gave up trying to kill each other and fell in love eventually overtime and isolation.

And that's how that planet came to be populated entirely by half-orcs.

My mermaid has been trying to seduce our ship's captain for literally over a year. He feels terribly guilty about his wife leaving him so its slow going, though. I'll get him some day.

Dungeon Meshi is Veeky Forums.

Yes, but OPs topic has nothing to do with dungeon meshi. Please, OP clearly wanted to talk about a purely Veeky Forums-related topic and not about this manga, so please stay on-topic because this is what OP wanted.

Actually, I like Dungeon Meshi enough that I wouldn't mind talking about how cute Laius and Marcille are. Shame they'll never get together

>Shame they'll never get together
This is for the better. They is barely any chemistry between them and at this point a romance would be forced and unnatural. This story doesn't need any romance anyway. It's more likely that Marcille is into farlyn, even wiothou yuri goggles.

Eat shit and fuck off and die

Yes. It didn't end well. A guy and girl in the group doing the same degree together had their characters slowly develop a romantic relationship in-game since first level; they're an official real-life couple now. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, and a mature group wouldn't pay it any mind. But someone did...

My group has a resident Autist. We haven't OFFICIALLY kicked him out yet due to pity. The Autist wants to bang the girl in real life. He has been making 'moves' on her in-game for months. Hell, it's even obvious that he makes a point to always pick a seat next to her every session, and find excuses to touch hands. He didn't take his NTR very well and 'cracked'. When the couple announced their new relationship the other week he IMMEDIATELY began his next turn trying to kill the characters of both the girl he fancied and the guy who NTR'd him (even though his character didn't have a valid reason to do that, at all). While my GM was stunned on how to narrate this, I shook his shoulder and told him that my next move was to counter The Autist and strike him down. With my broken wizard build I won the fight with a few lucky natural 20s. While the couple and GM were happy, The Autist wasn't.

It was once the fight was over that we decided to take the matter to real life and start asking serious questions (we initially thought that The Autist's character actually had a hidden agenda for the sudden betrayal. It wasn't until he started sweating IRL did we fully realise that that wasn't the case at all). I asked him 'What the fuck bro?' and then tried to settle the issue like the mature adults we're supposed to be. He didn't take my advice and criticism very well. He left in tears. He didn't show up to today's session, or last week's either. I feel bad.

Anyway with The Autist gone the couple's in-game and IRL relationship is bound to prosper.

Strong build-up needs a strong payoff.

Why do you have to be so upset over mangos, user?

That video is one of the comfiest on the web.

I'm talking about character relationships that happen during a 'traditional tabletop board game', how is that not Veeky Forums?

Nope, but I have pledge to protect before.

I got me a Druid 5 / Life Cleric 5 Moon Elf NPC waifu as a Human Fighter. We hired her for a Goodberry bot to feed us on a long journey through a desert. While we warned her of danger and assumed she'd stay out of combat, she actually stepped in and saved us from a near TPKO with her healing and combat assistance. I started visiting her in the temple she worked in during downtime and things went on with further sessions.

I haven't read this is but I like the cute elf, is it worth picking up? I'm not really reading any that many manga right now

Absolutely. Its half Veeky Forums and half Veeky Forums

Its also got elf ears

Dungeon Meshi is actually refreshingly unique among a sea of shitty fantasy manga's. It strikes this wierd fucking balance between being Berserk and being Sesame Street - the tone is fun and educational but if you read into the background shit is crazy. The characters are fun, and the protagonists aren't overpowered. Try it.

Even without the cute elf it would be worth picking up. But Marcille makes it so much better.

Looks like I'll be reading it this week then, cooking manga are always super comfy to me and I love cute elves

Feels very OSR. I think it's leaning on Wizardry 1?

Telling people that something isn't Veeky Forums-related isn't Veeky Forums-related. As long as something can conceivably inspire a setting, character, game, whatever, then what's wrong with discussing it?
If it's truly shit, then it'll die on its own and a better thread will take its place.
Shutting down discussion does nobody any favours except you shitposters like you to stroke their ego.

In other words
>HIDE "THIS ISN'T Veeky Forums-RELATED" POSTS
>IGNORE "THIS ISNT Veeky Forums-RELATED" POSTERS

Pure secks.

I generally agree with you but I feel like there is a line. Like, fucking Waifu threads aren't going to inspire shit except my dick.

It draws heavily from Wizardry yes, Veeky Forums likes figuring out what class everyone is.

Hooray!~~

I've got one coming along in the campaign I'm currently running. Chivalrous knight rescues damsel in distress and they fall in love as he escorts her home. She's a hopeless romantic, he's a perfect gentleman. It's pretty cute.

Conceptually, anyway. I'm absolute ass at telling love stories, plus this campaign is riddled with character-specific subplots that already strain my ability to engage the rest of the party, so there isn't much detailed roleplaying of the romance subplot. More just summarizing what happens in broad strokes, and letting everyone fill in the details themselves.

Everything european fantasy related is related to Wizardry, tangentally or otherwise. Dragon Quest was basically a love letter to Wizardry except for kids.

Yup. A three way love affair no less. Drow-Half Drow- Elf

Hat's off to this guy

Yes, my PC forged a very close bond with his magical sword, which had a water spirit bonded to it. For a few precious hours each day, she could manifest a human form to interact with people as she desperately craved, after centuries of isolation. Eventually, he freed her from her imprisonment and she left with the party's noble Sorcerer, whom she'd been fucking behind his back.

Some days, you just have to ask where you've gone wrong in life.

>DM and a player team up to cuck another player

That's just outright malicious. What the fuck.

Wizardy was real big in Japan

The worst part was that the DM didn't seem to notice! The nereid actually told me "But you never did anything! You never made a move, and you never approached me!"

Gee, maybe I didn't want to take advantage of a girl who was perpetually trapped.

>long, passionate

i wouldn't know how to roleplay that so no i just avoid it.

The DM could conceivably think you were uninterested if you were never direct about, I guess. It's still fucked that neither he nor the other player ran it by you OOC to see if you were cool with the sorcerer fucking your sword. One or both of them had to be acting maliciously for that to be the case.

>estranged paramour from my character's backstory shows up
>keeps trying to meet with my character in private even though she's betrothed
>later we save the king's daughter and she makes eyes at my character
>try to quash it but the party sorcerer keeps trying to hook us up
>my character is a cleric sworn to chastity

That's fucked up.

I love Marcille because she's cute and fun without being either the punching bag or the moe machine.

Yes and Veeky Forums actually helped with it even. Posted on advice on what to do and it worked nicely.

No, all my characters just fought until their dying day, with no room for anything else. Lawful good is best alignment

That sounds kinky. How many spiders were involved?

Get to reading it user, it moves a little slow, but it's unique, the world is rich with lore, characters are likeable, plot gets pretty fucking mysterious or it has, tons of funny reactions, solid art, will give you some great Veeky Forums ideas for your games, also there are some interesting monster designs.

>He hands off his lewder magic items to the bard
>lewder magic items

wat

This.

The DM loved knickknacks and trinkets, both magical and mundane. She handed out little loot cards like candy and we'd end up spending literal hours in curio shops because she would write descriptions on the spot. A good example is an umbrella I got that produced rain underneath it when you opened it. Every now and then we'd get lewd ones. The sorcerer, for he is both the character in question and a good example, had a monocle that informed him of the bust-waist-hip measurements of women observed through it and a little black notebook that, if you wrote a person's name in it, would reveal their fetishes.

>an umbrella I got that produced rain underneath it when you opened it.

Sounds...useful...

Cool DM for making up lots of magical trinkets like that though, I love things like that and its fun coming up with creative uses for stuff. Fantasy settings where magic items are limited to Sword of Plus Two are dull.

But what if you were presented with an attractive and loyal paladiness who would fight at your side in the name of good and justice in battle and tend to you out of battle? Would you deny the love that is unsought, but instead seeks?

>Yes. It didn't end well.
>Sike! It ended excellently.
I keep forgetting that excluding "subpar good" does not necessarily mean the outcome is worse.

I remember you from another thread. Tell us your story in full.

Or I will bring out harpy chicks starving for storytiem. And I will give them pots and pans.

None our drow are different in Eberron.

It's basically how I explained it. We found the Elemental Shrine of Water, and there was a sword sealed within. Because I was the party's Fighter, I took up the blade and started wielding it. In addition to the array of spell-like abilities, the sword (Tempest) had a bound spirit, making it a living weapon. She was very, very happy to have escaped her imprisonment, and glad to have a wielder since she couldn't use her abilities on her own.

So I wielded her for most of the campaign, and became her best friend. It was my intention to show her what living was like, and all that she'd missed. I was under the impression that we were getting closer and it was going to develop into a romance, but I DIDN'T know that she considered me a 'friend'. As in, she only stuck with me because I was wielding her.

So about halfway through the campaign, we each get one wish and the Sorcerer immediately wishes for her to be free of the sword. Then, right in front of my PC, they start kissing! Obviously, I'm completely baffled by this because I didn't know they were romancing each other. But as it turned out, this was going on before, and the Sorcerer HAD made attempts to woo her.

I had no idea he was ALREADY FUCKING HER. This lead to an incredibly awkward moment after the fact when I had to explain why I wasn't happy with this. So everyone just sort of looked uncomfortable, but we didn't retcon it. The DM and the other player apparently thought I wasn't interested in the girl at all! What was I supposed to do, outright tell the DM "I want to romance my sword?"

>I had no idea he was ALREADY FUCKING HER.
...In sword form?

I mean damn, that sucks, but you've got me with that mental image.

Well, she looked more like this, in 'manifested' form.

I never realised that playing with hair could be so erotic. What the fuck have you done to me Veeky Forums? Is there more?

>some other dude fucking your sword
>not noticing the aftersex on the hilt
kek

To be fair, they existed as separate entities. The sword stayed with me when she manifested.

This is fucking hilarious.

Did you thank your sorcerer for his od infusions?

You seem to have confused a 'hot' anime chick with a water elemental user. Pic related.

You know, you just retold the story I heard countless time IRL from different people. Yes, if you don't make your move to the girl ASAP, she starts to think you are uninterested. They except that you'll make a move, and if you don't, they'll just change the subject of attention. So GM roleplayed that perfectly.

>What was I supposed to do, outright tell the DM "I want to romance my sword?"
You was supposed to start romancing girl inside the sword, yes. What did you expect? Some kind of "I found her, so she is mine?".

He could have been more direct...

>I stick her hilt in my butthole.
>I cover the blade in hot glue before taking her to the grindstone.

I still would.

To be fair, it's pretty ridiculous that no one, not the sword lady or the sorcerer or even the DM, mentioned to him what was going on, regardless of how disinterested he seemed. That's either deliberate secrecy or negligence.

I mean, if nothing else fucking a dude's sword under his nose has to be some sort of fantasy bro code violation.

No, no. If "swordie" was so autistic that he never even thought about fucking his sword... I think that fits into "having a relationship with my bro's sister" kinda deal.

>sword lady
>sorcerer
It's pretty obvious why they wouldn't mention it.

>DM
And why he should? If character is blind and don't see that is happening, that's on him.

>fantasy bro code violation
Well, that depends on relation between the PC and sorcerer. If they are bros, that's a dick move, yes. If they don't, well, it's not fault of sorcerer that PC had no balls to make a move.

No, always found it a bit uncomfortable to whisper "I love you" into the ear of another 45 year old man, while sat at a table with three others watching. A lot easier just to say "Its a succubus, save vs spells!"

E...el..elementals can still be hawt

Gentlemen, I feel like we are loosing the true nature of this thread
What IS the fantasy bro code ?

ONLY WHEN COOKING INSTANT NOODLES!
>cacklecackle

Stop looking at me like that. I know the joke is bad. Come 'ere elemental and let me have a drink... 'cause I'm just a bunch of DRY bones!
>cacklecacklecacklecacklecacklecackle

You know that guy with the sword that turned into a woman? I bet she was a cavalry sword... Because she had curves!
>cacklecacklecackle

I tried once, but I was playing it straight and the other player was doing it for the lulz, until the cringe became unbearable and we dropped it.
That's one thing I feel is kinda missing from my games - those occasional, slice of life moments that would make for good character stories. I guess they're hard to get into for players though.

I mean, she literally lived slung to his hip 90% of the time. She's not his sister, but he's definitely an interested party. It's weird to leave him in the dark.

Why should the sword lady and sorcerer hide it from him? If he was as disinterested as they apparently thought, then he wouldn't care, no?

Do you tell your family about all the people you stuck your dick in?

Daaaw

Yes in one game but it was by complete accident and was meant as a comedic element in the game.

>play evil Kobold Assassin
>his story is that he was raised tribeless after some heroes killed off his entire tribe when he was an egg so he had never really seen another Kobold but aspires to one day have a tribe of his own by having that one thing he never had, a family.
>we encounter a mercenary group helping the bad guys whom we fight.
>my character sees a female Kobold barbarian with the mercenary's and begs the group to try and take her alive and hilarity ensues.
>my character bonks her on the head with a stick and later the group attempts to hire the mercenary's as bodyguards for our estate.
>my character keeps trying to woo the barbarian to achieve his life long dream
>the barbarian is contently hating me and being a cunt to the point my character considered using a love potion.
>eventually have this crazy idea of killing her mercenary giant "friend" whom was also a bodyguard
>plant a note that the giant left seeking out her family because that is what is important in life.
>the barbarian didn't give a shit

The game ended with my character finally getting her more friendly and persuading her to start a family with the promise of gold and riches. They left to start said clan in a swamp far away and left a note saying how much he thinks everyone on the party is dumb yet still admitting to liking the group.

Another player drew a funny epilogue sketch of the entire party, the pic being part of it. Game was Rise of the Runelords.

No, but we're not talking about some one night stand. I think a better analogy would be dating a friend's roommate. Would you deliberately hide that from them?

Few times. Couple years back our group ended up tasked with extorting a corrupt town mayor out of his money, Robin Hooding it back to the poor he'd been heavily taxing. Came up with the plan to kidnap his daughter, a half-elf girl, put up her ransom; had no intention of really harming the girl. We learned she was super sheltered and naive, and dialogue with her lead us to a lead on her dad's connection to a necromancy cult. If she stayed with him, bad shit was going to happen to her. We wanted her to stick with us, and one of our players, Sorceress, made the check to convince her. DM was just a little skeevy about it, but he kept it at "double entendre" level. Snarky Sorceress and innocent half-elf girl ended up forming a tight bond, developed organically over the campaign. Sorceress still kept the ransom money though. Lasted most of the campaign and ended up an excuse for the DM to give us a "soundtrack." We allowed it because DM has some good taste in music.

In a later campaign, continued off from that last one, my character (Half-Orc Rogue) ended up in a relationship with a pirate lady. Started off as just a couple of scoundrels with hearts of gold and some common ground, became a kinda bromance/romance thing over the course of the campaign. Banter was the best part, each meeting had to start with an insult contest. More or less retired that character at the end of that campaign; a couple of assholes with loads of treasure, a good ship, a fine crew, and the wind at their backs. What more could they need?

No. If the roommate doesn't notice, they're autistic AF.

If I am hiding it, it's either because they are actually hooked up and I'm legit cheating... Or the roommate is autistic as fuck and would sperg out when he finds out I'm dating his roommate he showed no interest in.

This comes back to the "you're dating his sister" argument. A roommate is effectively considered "sibling" status if they aren't doing any romancing to the other.

You're just being obtuse now. Why would the sorcerer even bother if he knew the fighter would sperg out no matter what? If he didn't think the fighter would sperg out, why would he be secretive? If he knew the fighter would sperg out and did it anyway, how is he not just an asshole trying to start shit?

Nothing adds up unless you grant that the sorcerer fucked up. I'm not saying the fighter didn't fuck up by failing to project his feelings sooner, but the sorcerer certainly bears some guilt as well.

It adds up if swordie was socially inept dumbass that didn't perceive a social (romantic) relationship that was building up over a long period of time. Do you know how negligent of their social relationships someone has to be to not know that their primary weapon, who only has the minimum of time outside of being a sword, was able to build up a relationship with another character with that minimal time spent in human form? (and he didn't know about it?)

>sorcerer certainly bears some guilt
Sorcerer didn't do anything wrong. He got into a relationship with someone who wasn't tied down.

Moral of the story: If you have a sword girl, actually spend time with her when she's in human form and forge her into a sword GF.

I think the autismo comments are ignoring the fact that it was a game, not real life, that one party was an NPC, and that said game is more of a highlights reel of an adventure, not living out every conceivable moment of the campaign.

If it all did happen off screen like it was implied, like say the Sorc just whispering the GM "I fuck the sword." after OP showed no interest, how could he possibly know?

You've failed to explain why the sorcerer wasn't forthcoming with the fighter. The way I see it, there's only two cases here. First, he was completely oblivious to the fighter's interest and therefore had no reason to be secretive, but seemingly arbitrarily kept it secret anyway. Second, he knew the fighter had some sort of interest in the matter, but went ahead anyway. In either case, he had an onus to be honest with the fighter since the sword lady is very very obviously a closely tied NPC to him.

The real moral of the story here is to talk to people like civilized human beings instead of being secretive little shit.

My last character had several romantic interests over the course of the game.
He was in love with the nymph, slept with the dragon to sate their mutual urges, then married the elf-queen for political capital.
Such is life when you play the game of thrones.

He could have passed the note to the GM to fuck the sword. If not that, then actually strike up meaningful conversation with the sword.

What really happened is probably this:

>GM gives fighter a sword waifu intending for romantic subplot
>tons of waifubait applied sword
>GM does not anticipate concentrated shell of autism he must pierce
>I wouldn't be surprised if she spouted "GIVE ME YOUR MANA INFUSION!" while wagging her ass at him
>games go by
>romantic sub-plot goes nowh-
>"I fuck the sword" (or some seduce the sword equivalent) from sorc
>GM decides FUCK IT! Plot.

1 campaign later
>autist never had a clue
>likely never even tried to romance the blade or get to know her
>characters in question have probably been dropping hints by the thousands
>sorc exorcises the blade from her owner under romantic eminent domain
>autist gets mad because m-muh sword waifu

Buttmad detected. It is entirely the fault of the fighter for not bothering to socialize. He probably doesn't know how many fingers and toes his sword had... Or a proper count of eyeballs in the entire party.

This isn't even NTR, so I'm just wondering why you're mad. This is more like a buddy-cop show, except one of the cops eventually has a relationship with another in the department but doesn't tell her partner. The partner is married to the law.

Don't forget, he even used his one wish to give her a body! The Sorcerer gave that up, while the PC didn't.

Mycharacter is undead. Even if he can still feel love, he wants to purge himself of mortal feelings because he knows he's just a skeleton, forever forbidden to know the warmth of a lover's kiss and the joy of friendship and cameraderie

Human Eldritch knight PC and his female human squire NPC.
Human Monk dude PC and his female wood elf mentor NPC.
Evil Orc barbarian PC and his female Hobgoblin servant.
Half-elf Noble Draconic Sorcerres PC and her boytoy attendant steward.

All they have in common that most of their fantasy spouses don't have shit to do with the plot and aren't intrusive.

On the other hand our furfag gay Ranger/Druid couple...
Let's just say that everyone avoids comming to game nights at their place.

>a monocle that informed him of the bust-waist-hip measurements of women observed through it and a little black notebook that, if you wrote a person's name in it, would reveal their fetishes.

Played a female Zen Archer in Wrath of the Righteous.
Open to love/affection from/toward anyone/thing; because Zen and why would you refuse such a blessing as love in your life just because the source is unexpected or unusual?
Discover succubus trying to find redemption.
Manipulative as fuck Face of the party is on that like white on rice; immediately trying to manipulate succubus with lines like : If you want your path to redemption to mean something you should be with us/me.
Archer has seen this mode of behavior many times before now (which admittedly was very shrewd psychological tactics on the player's part) : Face almost immediately determines NPC's motives and desires, manipulate them to PC's own ends while ignoring the NPC's actual needs.
Archer warns Succubus (Arueshalae) of other PC's probable motives and pattern of behavior.
Succubus decides to take off and seek her redemption on her own, but seriptitiously leaves a communication device with my Archer so they can keep in contact.
Archer composes daily inspirational haikus to keep up Arueshalae's morale.
Brings group to her rescue when she's attacked.
Declares adoration for Arueshalae because to the Archer the Succubus is the greatest example of a person being able to overcome their own nature and be something better. Significant because at this point the Archer is still a pretty devout follower of Irori. The idea of a person forging themself and having the power to become what they desire to be and to become better through hard work/dedication/devotion is a core belief of who she is.
Keep the budding relationship chaste, because "no being a temptation that would cause Arueshalae to backslide dammit."
Succubus reciprocates and stands by Archer through the adventure path, providing occasional backup and very often knowledge about our demonic opponents that makes a huge difference in how we approach/succeed in overcoming them.
