so I counted up all the time spent in my campaign mountains and monsters playing as lashar with his 2 mercs at the café with the lady thesi she had been forced to work there because the dark elves took over lashar's hometown and hes got a plan to save her but I keep rolling to low to put that into action so he just keeps bringin her food and supplies from going out hunting so she can keep working at the café I guess the dark elves don't care if she runs out or whatever.
I guess whatever kind of romance that happens during all those times he returns bringing food and staying there to rest is just implied but whenever the roll check succeeds I had a like kind of preplaned battle scene where there is like fighting monsters and also romance at the same time.

My necromancer in my most recent game, Morrigan Devlin, had a romance with the party ranger, Hector Diversey, that was quite fun.
As a wizard, Morrigan was obviously quite intelligent, while Hector was... not. (I think his Int was 8 or 9.) Early on in the campaign, she viewed him with a kind of amused contempt - she was at times baffled by how dimwitted he was. However, he quickly impressed her with his bravery; several times he put himself in danger to save her life (to the point that it became a bit of a running joke for him to toss her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and carry her away from battle). The fact that he looked like Keanu Reeves also helped. Eventually, when it was Hector who was in danger, Morrigan leapt to his rescue when normally, pragmatic as she is, she would not willingly put herself in harm's way.
They became the party's power couple and would flirt and bicker like an old married pair. At one point, when Morrigan was sucked into the realm of the dead, Hector killed himself in an attempt to bring her back. She got back of her own accord and was very exasperated to learn what he'd done - typical bullheaded Hector! She leaves him alone for ten minutes and look what happens. Fortunately, he rolled a Nat 20 to bluff the god of death and came back. When it came time for the epic final battle, Hector smacked her butt and said, "Don't die."
"You neither," she replied.
However, the battle went sideways, and the party found themselves trapped with the Big Bad on a collapsing plane. While they could ensure the Big Bad died when the plane collapsed, they'd be obliterated as well. Hector and Morrigan, remembering their promise to each other, tapped into the necrotic energy of two of the Big Bad's magical items and (combined with a Wish spell from Morrigan) managed to escape... but at a terrible cost. Now they are necrotic monsters who must feed on others - Morrigan on the magic essence of spellcasters, Hector on good ol' fashioned blood - and who haunt the very realm they fought to save.

"We're the perfect combination of expendable and unkillable!"
Unfortunately, romance is a story I have yet to explore. Not from lack of trying but I've had DM's that get uncomfortable around romantic situations or players that are not interested or male dominant groups that do not suit mine or my character's style.
Maybe someday I'll have a decent story to post here but the closest I have is with my Shifter barbarian, who lost his family in the past but found interest in a female NPC that was kidnapped and tortured by a group of lycan hunters. Nothing has happened yet but it seems promising as she has seemed to move closer to him during downtime activities.
My female Warlock / Rogue Tiefling convinced a Neverwinter madam to move her brothel and "the girls" down to Phandalin and set up shop down there, down the road from the tavern run by our old Drunken Monk.
She, of course, had to try out the "talent," before making the offer. And our half-orc barbarian spent a night there too.
She's now the financial benefactor (and occasional customer) of the "Tasty Tiefling Bakery" (and after-hours brothel.) She has also sworn to protect those girls against any threat, to the death.

Damn! Now THAT'S an epic D&D romance!
And that is the sort of bittersweet ending that builds lore...legends of how these two creatures of immense power came into existence, and the tragedy behind it.
A friend at work told me that, in a campaign with which she is involved, the GM decided to include Waluigi as an NPC. One of the players immediately decided she would be rolling to seduce Waluigi at some point.
I have suggested that the GM please have Waluigi address that PC as Daisy for the entire time they are in bed together. Then have him start crying afterward.
In a campaign that is still currently going on, my character really likes one pyromancer that is very important to the story. She doesn't like a lot of the people in the party, and some people in the party don't like her, but all like my character, because he's a 7 year old little chaotic good boy. While nothing romantic usually happens, he always does whatever he can to be nice to her, and she's the only one in the party he doesn't call mister or miss. He also is very prone to anger if someone on the party gets hurt, mostly her.
To preface this campaign began in a custom world of the DM’s creation where the world had been flooded and had a Steampunk level of technology, though was fairly lacking in established settlements. Shortly after a small incident with party Wizard the starting town burned down, leading the party of a Tiefling Bard, a Warforged Wizard, Khalashtar Cleric, Vampire Gunslinger, Drow Rogue, Water Genasi Monk and myself the Gnome Artificer fleeing the town aboard a sailing ship soon named the Drunken Sailor. Roles were handed out among the party for shipboard duties, notably the Tiefling becoming captain, Khalashtar becoming surgeon, I became the shipwright, and the Drow became the swabbie. The now captain, fearing something upon an island preyed upon virgins took it upon herself to introduce the Drow, Maya to pleasure. This led to an...interesting if rocky to say the least relationship. Much shennangery was had, then after the departure of the Bard’s player from the group it was decided we would be teleported to Faerun. Maya’s player and I had been chatting, deciding she would help take care of my character, Zanin who was something of a workaholic, often forgetting to eat which was only exacerbated by his time dilating workshop. In time as she took care of him he grew to care for her, deciding to take her for his wife and give her a much more stable relationship than she had previously enjoyed with the former captain.
TLDR: Workaholic Gnomes make more stable partners than insatiable Tieflings
My Aasimar Monk is currently attempting to woo our half-orc fighter. I'll let you know how that goes. Unfortunately, she's super inexperienced in the world and awkward. 😂 Hopefully he finds it endearing.
I had a rogue I played, way back in the day, and his backstory was basically 'young widower', and he started out kind of immune to romance-- when other party members did the whole wink-wink-nudge-nudge search for 'companionship' in various taverns, he did his best to avoid catching anyone's eye... up until the party rescued a captive sea elf. They didn't speak the same language, but they developed something really tender, if brief-- my guy let his walls down, the elf in question reminded him of his lost love. Presumably the elf hadn't seen a friendly face in a long time and wanted to connect to someone somehow. They did a lot of pantomime and taught each other a few words/phrases and had some sweet moments before parting, seeing the elf home safe and continuing on with the party's quest feeling a little more a part of the world.
It wasn't a huge part of things, but the DM was just really cool about giving us all opportunities for our characters to have lives and experiences outside of our adventures, including romance or family connections. That character also got to have a moment of closure with his first love during a near-death experience.
My currently-on-hiatus character has a husband, but our game went on hiatus right before we reached where he was being held to rescue him, so said husband has never been seen by the rest of the party or played out by the DM... (apparently all of my rogues' romances involve kidnapping somewhere down the line)
I had a character that had a compulsion to pine for someone he'd never met or seen - didn't even know if she actually existed but knew where she was supposed to be. He was able to ignore that constant compulsion, though.
That's about as close as I got with romance in a game.

This is supposed to be for those who want to talk about their romantic encounters. It can be anything, as long as it did happen.
Well there was that one time I was stuck on an abandoned island for a couple months with the most beautiful billygoat i have ever seen.
i wonder where that billygoat is now...
Interesting...wont call that romance. More like animal companion
so I counted up all the time spent in my campaign mountains and monsters playing as lashar with his 2 mercs at the café with the lady thesi she had been forced to work there because the dark elves took over lashar's hometown and hes got a plan to save her but I keep rolling to low to put that into action so he just keeps bringin her food and supplies from going out hunting so she can keep working at the café I guess the dark elves don't care if she runs out or whatever.

This was covered in the "favorite character deaths" thread, but...
Drow magic-user webbed a pack of wargs and was being chased around the stuck ones by the ones who weren't stuck.
My rogue jumped in and got chewed up by the wargs, instead of her. Then rogue stayed dead with a failed resurrect roll.
Some time later, I did mention to that player that I had been playing the rogue as having had a secret crush on the drow.
Ended up married to that player in real life. So I guess there was a happy ending after all.
Damn! Now THAT'S an epic D&D romance!
