We know they're not going to be frustrated with that because they've been pushing for it the entire time. So I've never seen it play out. Any other way. It's always there are other people on the table who are egging it on. And that is how those things often develop organically. Is because other people are making jokes about it. Other people are pointing it out.

And I'm sure it could happen otherwise. But most of the time people are going to be pretty clear from their participation. Like whether or not they're okay with that. And obviously that doesn't replace... Mm-hmm.

you know cause issues with table balance yeah no one's the main character at that table it's a it's a party thing and yeah i i think it's again it's the gm's job to make sure that if things are naturally pulling to one or two people whether or not like just said it is because of romance reasons to make sure that the other characters are being given things

And I do think that there is always an element of sometimes there are things that are just happening with one or two characters and the rest of us are just kind of there. Like, that's fine. You know, your character's dad is the BBEG and everyone else is just sitting there while you're having it out with your evil dad. And that's fine. Like, that's part of it. Romance is kind of the same.

It's just that the content of that spotlight can be a little bit more loaded. Exactly. Yeah.

It's just that the content of that spotlight can be a little bit more loaded. Exactly. Yeah.

It definitely is, and it's people's preferences. So in that exact same game where my character is going on a date, we've got another two PCs that are now married, and they went from meeting to... you know, being together for the first time to getting married and going on their honeymoon, all without RPing any of that.

Like, there was a little bit of banter back and forth, but then otherwise they were just like, oh, our characters are off doing you know what, and then, oh, our characters got married in between missions, and... this person's child was there to be the witness and stuff like that. And that's what they're comfortable with. That's what's fun for them for the romance that they have.

And then me and this other player, what's fun for us for the romance that our characters have is to RP those moments and nothing has happened in those two characters relationship that hasn't happened on table. And so, yeah, there, there are different ways to go about it, but the,

the player's preferences will often kind of steer it one way or the other and it may be that the rest of the table is more comfortable with one of those than with the other and you want to kind of push you know push the people that are more into the rp side of it into a more summary based approach to their romance

romance it's just not romantic does that make sense sort of i would say it's not romantic content and so like i wouldn't necessarily feel the need to cover that on a lines of veil spreadsheet or to check in about that because that's the same as like characters who come in and are playing siblings you know i'm playing a character at the moment whose uncle is also a character in the game like no one's being like oh is everyone okay with this character having an uncle like that's not
