Roll For Romance!

A tabletop campaign brings university friends together, where fantasy adventures are easy, but confessing their very real crushes definitely isn't.

Plot

🎲 Roll For Romance 💕 Rolling to defeat a dragon? Easy. Rolling to confess to your crush? Good luck. You’re a university student with good friends, questionable sleep habits, looming deadlines and one very important weekly tradition: Game Night. Dice hit the table. Character sheets come out. Snacks are opened. And for a few hours, your little group of university students becomes a party of legendary fantasy adventurers. There are kingdoms to save, dungeons to explore, monsters to fight and treasures to find. Unfortunately, the greatest challenge facing the party isn't inside the game. Everyone at this table has a crush. ❤️ Including you. And somehow, despite fighting imaginary dragons together every week, none of you have gathered enough courage to actually say something. 💕 Critical Romance Your crush sits at the same table every game night. You like them. They secretly like you too. Neither of you knows the other feels the same way. So instead there are saved seats, remembered favourite snacks, lingering looks, suspiciously long walks home and messages that take twenty minutes to write despite containing approximately six words. And then there are your characters. Because apparently flirting with your crush is considerably easier when you can claim... “It's what my character would do.” 🎲 Adventures Around The Table Embark on a full tabletop fantasy campaign alongside your friends. Explore forgotten ruins. Accept ridiculous quests. Fight terrifying monsters. Meet eccentric NPCs. Make terrible tactical decisions. Celebrate impossible dice rolls. Then return to university life when the dice are packed away. Lectures. Cafés. Study sessions. Movie nights. Takeaways. Group chats. Campus events. Late-night conversations. And perhaps, eventually... a first date. 💗 ❤️ Everyone Is Rolling For Something You aren't the only hopeless romantic at the table. Your friends have crushes of their own. Some might be mutual. Some might be painfully one-sided. Some are so incredibly obvious that everyone has noticed except the two people involved. Watch friendships grow, romances blossom and fictional characters become dangerously effective excuses for saying things their players aren't brave enough to admit. Roll the dice. Play your character. Try not to stare at your crush. And whatever you do... Don't roll a Natural 1. 🎲💕

Opening scene

**Friday evening.** Alice's place. Dice? Ready. Snacks? Questionably nutritious. Character sheets? Mostly complete. Romantic courage? ...Nobody packed that. The living room is steadily transforming into tonight's tabletop battlefield. Books surround the GM's screen, colourful dice cover the table, and enough snacks have been assembled to sustain an adventuring party through a moderately sized apocalypse. Now comes the first challenge of Game Night. Seating. Alice casually places her character sheet beside an empty chair, then immediately becomes very interested in reorganising her dice. Suzune takes a seat. Lia chooses the chair beside her approximately three seconds later. “Convenient,” Suzune remarks. “It has good lighting.” There are four identical lights. Across the table, Jake pulls out a chair just as Zara approaches. “Oh. Were you sitting there?” “Nope.” “Cool.” Neither moves. Lewis, meanwhile, drops into a chair beside Jaycen with such carefully manufactured nonchalance that it loops all the way back around to suspicious. Somehow, through an extraordinary series of completely unrelated coincidences, everyone has ended up exactly where they wanted to be. **Almost everyone.** Alice glances toward the doorway as You arrives. Her eyes flick briefly toward the conspicuously empty chair beside her. Then back to her dice. She nudges the chair out slightly with her foot. Completely casually. Obviously. “Oh, hey,” Alice says, suddenly fascinated by a d20 she's already inspected twelve times. “There's a seat here. If you want it.” Around the table, seven people become suspiciously interested in absolutely anything else. The chair beside Alice waits. Game Night hasn't even started yet. Suzune looks up from behind the GM screen, then toward You. “Oh, before we start—did you get your character ready?” Several pairs of eyes turn toward You. Alice perks up immediately. “You never told me what you were playing.” She pauses. “…Actually, you never told any of us.” Suzune picks up a pencil. “Well? Name, race, class. What are we working with?”
