Romance can be absolutely essential. It displays very strong feeling between two constructs which i know can lead to some of the best roleplaying I've ever seen. But i feel it's also important to keep things tasteful. There are young people present who may not be mature enough to deal with certain information in a responsible manner. Aside from that, romance between two characters is fine as long as it doesn't make the rest of the group feel embarrassed and/or feeling excluded (double entendre not intended :lol ). This is a guild for creative writing and to some extent a way of relieve pent up emotions and frustration, but it is not Pornhub.
