This does not square with my experience of female gamers. The most common complaint I get from women at the table is that they're bored by number-crunching and cautious exploration, and want to fast-forward to the part where they get to strew monster guts all over the dungeon (preferably described by the DM in graphic detail). As far as relationships go, it's mostly seducing bad guys to gain the advantage over them, or casual sex with no consequences. The only players I've ever seen looking for...

I think their are factors that make romance in campaigns more likely. A DM can increase their chances of romance or other high roleplay options by just creating a more interactive world. Players should feel a part of the world rather than a game peice being railroaded from one dungeon to the next. Npcs should be given flavor so that players remember them and want to spend more time with them.

Npcs should be given flavor so that players remember them and want to spend more time with them. Players need to take the attitude that the world and its cast of characters are not just numbers to be added or subtracted. I have found that in campaigns where the DM encourages a backstory are more likely to have romances. When romance does happen in a campaign I find the player is more emotionally engaged, especially if the gm uses it in the plot. I think it also depends on the people involved, male or female, if romance is something they want from a story it will happen.
My favorite NPCs to roleplay are the wise but dumb guys. The "Mongo is just pawn in game of life" type of character. The have the answers to the partys problems, but no one takes them seriously. They usually start as villians and turn into true friends, before usually suffering a heroic but tragic end.

Sudden Death was Awesome. I've spent the last 4-5 days (since last Wednesday) looking up the Article Archives for the next instalment of the DM Experience. Hope to see it soon, your stories and tips are just awesome. If not for being inspired by your Column, I would never have taken the step to become a DM.
