>>5933504>How do you handle romance in your quest, if at all? If you avoid it, how do you avoid players' tendency to seek it out?I consider the husbando/waifu decision to big a big part of my particular format of quest these days. Originally it was more of a gimmick for the sexy spy vibe that emerged in my first quest, an opportunity to gather intel that also provided a risk of emotional/political compromise. It went over pretty well, though, so in both sequel quests I've included multiple possible avenues of romance among the supporting cast.
The players never seem to settle on just one, though...>What sort of details do you look for in a waifu or husbando? Do you actually care about the main character's romance?Good chemistry between them and the lead, obviously. Personally, I also have an obvious 'type' in lots of quests, but try to vote against or outside of it from time-to-time just to mix things up and explore different dynamics. After all, when essentially the SAME waifu (ie. identical personality, body-type or aesthetic, whatever) wins every waifu war in every quest, that's less fun.
>Who would you nominate if /qst/ did a waifu or husbando tournament again? Would you vote in it?I'm inclined to nominate Rivka Betruger from Slice or Persephone Cross from Path of the Exorcist, in the event such a thing kicks off again.
>>5933754 is also a good pick, though Nara from Prinzessin might be even better.
>>5933753Theoretically any quest can be good with the right writing. I'm a little dubious of the premise, but I've seen goofier ideas be executed in an interesting way.
>>5933715I'd participate in such a tourney. I feel weird picking the entrant myself, but luckily my players already nominated one for me: >5933535 Princess Ekaterine of Hawksong, from Dragonborn Antipaladin Quest and Seekers of the Esoteric: wife, mother, young and inexperienced queen of two kingdoms, strong proponent of the rights of the underclass and outcast,
