Wrote a little about struggling with that haunting 'Why bother?' question in my newsletter.
mailchi.mp/d49d7963b849...
White text on a black background that reads: "So, to everyone else out there circling the edge of the abyss, staring into that bleakness of "why bother?", I see you and I'll hold you hand until you can move from the edge, and you'll hold my hand when I inevitably teeter towards the edge because that is what art in all its many forms does."

Here are my notes from the panel
Handwritten notes that read Romance in Gaming DragonCon Fri- 2:30 Check-ins, consent - vital at start and throughout Some systems/games. built More around romance/relationships Good society Star crossed Monster. Hearts Allow roll it out options instead of full description of flirt Make sure. all players. are ok not just romancing ones since . whole table witnesses events. Dont let the romance take over whole game. so others don't get to do things Careful of the in character versus OOC lines. CHECK IN Do not force it! NPC W/ NPC can be way to intro without getting too. awkward to start.. mechanis help overcome or intro romance. For example roll for flirt.
