Tome of Endless Romance
Role Playing Adventures in the World of Love
Sure, bashing kobolds is great, but have you tried love?
Tome of Endless Romance is a fantasy RPG supplement filled with the warmth of sweet embraces, and dark intrigues weaved by a dangerous yet alluring enemy.
This book fills the gap in romantic RPG supplements and is intended for Game Masters. Tome of Endless Romance introduces a full roster of 50 Non-Player Characters, along with their soft spots, moods, personalities, romantic backgrounds, and quests focusing on love.
From a hopeful rookie looking for acceptance, a super-star bard celebrity out of luck in matters of romance, a kind-hearted but naïve paladin trying to discover what love is through an elven librarian with a spicy secret, a melancholic succubus trying to mend the shattered hearts, an overworked elf ambassador, a curious triton who came to the land to make friends, to ominous personalities, grappling with darker facets of the human heart, moral ambiguities, and emotional struggles.
Tome of Endless Romance is a system-agnostic RPG supplement that can be universally adapted across many high-fantasy games, such as Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder, Savage Worlds, Numenera, and others.
The book’s second part features oracles and NPC Generation tables aimed at romantic encounters. These tools have an enormous potential to build a storyline and provide romantically inclined characters quickly. Oracles presented in this book can be especially useful for Solo RPG game sessions.
The narrative also contains world-building elements you can integrate into your games and the setting. These include the Church of Ange, a minor goddess of love, and the archdemon who opposes it. Artifacts of Love are whimsical magical items that are certainly not +1 swords of slaying undead.
Finally, the essay about how and why will explain reasons and methods for incorporating love and romance into your gaming sessions
This book is centered on female NPCs. If you’re looking for romance-focused male characters for your adventures, check out the Tome of Endless Romance II.
This book contains mature themes. It is intended for adult players. Mature subjects covered in this supplement include intimacy, jealousy, personal struggles, desires, tragic outcomes, trauma, addiction, and more. Some characters presented here are evil, and others have personal tragedies behind them
Have fun with love on the tabletop and in your private life. It is a quest worth taking.

I have to share my first thought when I saw this: I pictured a queer romance manga about boys in high school where the D&D club members discovering their true feelings while acting out dates with these waifus.
My brain went a layer deeper from “This book would’ve been awkward with my old game group” to “If I had brought this book to the group I would’ve figured some things out a lot earlier!”
Also, kudos for including demihumans. Monster girls represent!
I’m glad you like it! The idea behind it is to bring love, feelings & relationships to the tabletop in as mature (and real) way as possible. It certainly isn’t a high school manga drama. Thanks so much for your support!
When will the second Tome be released? I am still reading through the first one but I am so excited for the second one already.
Hi CambionHeartz! I’m glad you like it! The 2nd volume will be released later this year. This time it will cover 50 male characters – with their hidden desires, warm feelings, and secrets buried deep within their hearts.
I added you to the list and will PM you once it’s up – you’re not the first to ask about that!
Thank you so much! I can't wait!
I would like to be notified too, please!
Hi Sakura Tenshi, thanks for your support! Will send you PM too!
How is this supposed to be system agnostic when it is clearly deeply rooted in D&D; using its classes, races, and alignments?
Thanks for the comment! The book doesn't use strict D&D races and classes, but rather the high-fantasy archetypes. The clasess such along with the alignments, listed on the stat blocks" are provided to help facilitate gaming quickly.
General races and classes such as half-elf, dwarf, wizard or a fighter are common for many high-fantasy games such as DnD, Pathfinder, GURPS Fantasy or Savage Worlds, and thus can be used universally. That's why there are no DnD or Forgotten Realms branded races such as drows or kenku - although there are dark elves and birdfolk, that could help you find the best equivalent in your setting.
no offence but you'd hold a lot more weight in this statement if you didn't have "dragonborn" as one of your preview characters. literally a thing that's unique to D&D in how you portray it
even using a name like half dragon would've given you more validity here
Those things didn't originate with D&D and they're far from unique to it. Even the alignment system (which in its first incarnation had only the Law-Chaos axis) was taken from Poul Anderson's novels. The race and class names have been coded to mean specific things in D&D but they were coined from archetypes that have been around a lot longer than the game has. Pathfinder uses many of the same names BECAUSE the makers of D&D didn't create them and don't own them (and Paizo's Remaster ditched the few things that might be an issue).
Couldn't explain it better!
