How To GM Romance
Let’s help you get in those saucy moments before the TPK.
We get it. Romance is difficult to GM.
Whether you’re a hobbyist or professional GM, you may have received a request to roleplay some romance at your table. Maybe you weren’t comfortable with it because you didn’t want to come across as “weird” or felt as though you couldn’t match someone’s expectations. Short of hiring Regé-Jean Page to cover for you, we have the next best thing.
Like all skills such as voice acting, setting a horror scene, or rules mastery - guiding romantic scenes as a game master is something that requires practice. If you want to be effective faster? Get yourself a guidebook.
