Relationship checks should only be used for specific instances, not for every NPC.
Charisma checks can be used to establish various histories and connections between players and NPCs.
Setting boundaries and using relationship checks sparingly can make these moments more impactful and unexpected for players.

Setting Boundaries on NPC Relationships
The DM should clarify that rolling for a relationship check only applies to specific instances and is not a guarantee that every NPC has been dated.
Expanding the Scope of Relationship Checks
Instead of solely focusing on romantic relationships, the DM can use charisma checks to establish various histories and connections between the players and NPCs.
Maintaining the Element of Surprise
By setting boundaries and using relationship checks sparingly, the DM can make these moments more impactful and unexpected for the players.
The Punishment of the DM and Player
A DM and player conspire to play a prank involving mysterious dolls, causing frustration and disappointment for the rest of the party. The Dungeon Court decides to punish both by making them secretly create dolls in real life, but they must remain undetected by their family and friends.
The Dice Shop Logo Mishap
A listener confesses to unintentionally misreading their new dice, mistaking the logo on the one for a natural 20. The Dungeon Court decides to punish the dice shop by taking over their store and turning it into a secret garden of plant pruning, which the shop must keep hidden from everyone.
Dungeon Court is back in session! Join Justices Murphy, Tanner and Axford, as well as the Solo Jolo Bailiff Hurwitz, as they convene to pass judgement on your trials at the table!
