Not pathfinder, however it is compatible...

You want to look at The Book Of Erotic Fantasy^Fantasy^Fantasy^Fantasy (Dramatic Echo) It shouldn't be hard to find a pdf and covers what you are looking for.

>Alternatively, maybe you can research some kind of Magic Circle Against Pregnancy and STDs.

The Book of Erotic Fantasy is helpful for finding a framework for those spells.

>Iv read countless stories in here about how so n so char murder so n so and no one is upset at the gore of it, shit what about all them goblin and kobolds every noob player slaughters? whole villages of them get killed in almost every campaign at some point or another. What happens to the babies that are left behind with no ione to feed n protect them? No one cares because its fantasy and its not real and i just dont see how rape should be any different.

If you and your group agree on a setting where this is ok. Go ahead, I heard the Book of Erotic Fantasy has a lot of relevant rules on how to handle many facettes of this topic.

But if a DM and/or players feels uncomfortable playing this, there is no reason to put a focus on it. It might be that rape exists in the world and you can find hints to it (some half orcs might have this background), but this does not mean that it belongs in the game itself.

In my game I also reduce violence to a level where a creature at 0 hitpoints is dead, not incapable of fighting and winding around on the ground, shitting themselves, burbling and suffering for hours. Sometimes I describe cut off limbs, heads, or a moaning body for a dramatic effect. But I don't overdo it, because that's not the game we want to play. Creatures getting killed don't scream from the heart of their lungs like they do in real life. And no one has his bad conciousness overwhelming him from killing 200 goblins/bandits/devils. It simply is not the focus of our campaigns.

Most people indeed want to play a fantasy game with a violent touch, not a realism game with every good and bad facette of real life in it. There is no sexual violence in the LoTR books, why should there be in a DnD game? (There are other books that scratch on the surface - Like in Heitz' 'The Dwarves', where Tungil, in a village after an orc attack, notices dead women with their skirts pulled up)

If you want to steal a kiss from a barmaid, flirt her up and take a room, 'hell go for it', I am sure most DMs will allow it, maybe even encourage you to keep in touch with her, marry her or get a child in the long run. This might also be a dramatic way to make players take into account the personal lifes of those they have to kill. But don't expect him to describe the sexual act in any detail itself. Unless you all agreed on, that is.

You can still have horse sex there, too. Edit: Proof.

The interesting thing about games is that you can't copyright mechanics. You can, however, copyright the text of your rules.

>Copyright does not protect the idea for a game, its name or title, or the method or methods for playing it. Nor does copyright protect any idea, system, method, device, or trademark material involved in developing, merchandising, or playing a game. Once a game has been made public, nothing in the copyright law prevents others from developing another game based on similar principles. Copyright protects only the particular manner of an author’s expression in literary, artistic, or musical form.

If I made a game with six stats, with stat effective scores equal to (stat-10)/2, played using a twenty sided die and adding relevant numbers to the roll trying to hit a target number, that's completely OK. When you start using game terms or make books for existing games, that's when you get sued. I can publish a game that plays the same way that D&D does, but I can't publish a book FOR D&D because I'm not TSR.

Cool, so during the transition into 3rd edition, WOTC created the OGL, Open Game Liscense. Essentially, anyone could publish material for 3rd edition D&D, as long as they followed the OGL. This means there's TONS of support for 3rd edition out there. Custom books, classes, settings, campaigns, new rules, new everything. Problem was that WOTC had no control over the quality of said material, and wasn't making money off them.

If you want to see an example of the kinds of books that killed 3rd edition look no further than The Book Of Erotic Fantasy

One thing about OGL is that you can never UN-OGL your game. 3rd edition rules are open for anyone to use. They can't just say "Stop printing stuff for our game that we can't make any money from" So they made a NEW game, 4th edition.

This made a lot of 3rd edition players mad, because they were so heavily invested in 3rd edition. Imagine if you owned thirty books for a game, and then poof, the creators aren't supporting the system any more.

So in that void, Paizo made their own game, called Pathfinder. They're not allowed to use ANY of D&D copy written materials, so no Gods, no settings, no specific NPC's, but the core rules of the game are free for anyone to use. They made their own gods, their own world, and spells like Tasha's Hideous Laughter became Hideous Laughter. They modified some of the rules of 3rd edition, and fixed things that gamers didn't like about the system, and put out their own game.

And it's in-print D20 version, https://www.amazon.com/Book-Erotic-Fantasy-Gwendolyn-Kestrel/dp/1588463990

My Worst DM Ever whipped one of those out. We were playing an unoriginal campaign, which is fien, i got stuck with a characted i didn't like, fine, but he spnt literally 20 minutes arguing with a Stereotypical Neckbeard (complete with fingerless gloves and a laptop full of splatbooks that he went to constantly) about whether or not the wizard wouldnsign a contract. It was resolved when the DM, after 20 minutes, had an NPC offer him a scroll of languages. WHY DIDN'T YOU START WITH THAT!?

Then an hour later, he wants onenof us to fuck a guy in a tavern for information, and whips out the BOEF. I did not return for the next session.

There was a 3rd party 3.5 book that was entirely about sex, it has lots of STDs. It also had rules for pregnancy and sex and monsters themed around that.

EDIT: It has already been linked further down the page then I had gotten to.

u/failed_novelty · 6 pointsr/rpg

I've found just the 3.5 book for you, OP!

Remember to LARP as appropriate ;-)

u/Crepti · 6 pointsr/DnD

I point you towards the Book of Erotic Fantasy.

u/Laranna · 3 pointsr/dnd_nsfw

Book of Erotic fantasy it kind of does. Old and not many of them left thats why its so expensive. I got one :) nice but not too much i can use in my game.

Gah. Wrong reply. Sorry friend

u/BlkSheepKnt · 3 pointsr/DnD

For those interested, In 3rd edition a book was published under the OGL called The Book of Erotic Fantasy It had everything from fertility rates of the races, gestation period, spells for helping birth and curing/causing impotence and love potions as well as more lascivious gaming aids. Among 3rd edition grognards it is a book of much discussion.

u/CodySpring · 3 pointsr/DnD

Looks like a good time for the Book of Erotic Fantasy!

u/StoicLeaf · 3 pointsr/DnD

depending on how drunk and mentally scarred you want to be for the rest of your life: http://www.amazon.com/Book-Erotic-Fantasy-Gwendolyn-Kestrel/dp/1588463990

u/abbatoth · 3 pointsr/DnDGreentext

They did. I give you The Book of Erotic Fantasy!

​

Edit: u/comics0026 did me one better. His post.

u/AFineWayToDie · 3 pointsr/Pathfinder_RPG

Gwendolyn F. M. Kestrel, who also did some official work for 3.5, but the Book of Erotic Fantasy itself is 3rd party and not officially part of the D&D collection.

u/karrachr000 · 2 pointsr/DnD

While I do not think that the book is strictly Forgotten Realms, you might have a look at the Book of Erotic Fantasy. It contains spells and feats that you will not find in any other sourcebook.

u/fknbastard · 2 pointsr/rpg
u/Torvaun · 2 pointsr/DnD

I'll just leave this here.

u/Midnight_Shade · 2 pointsr/DnD

I'm not sure about this subreddit's policies on linking to Scribd and other book sites, but here is the Amazon link.

It's pretty interesting, and like the product description says it adds a whole new dimension to your game, which can be pretty amusing and fulfilling. It talks about different race's ideas on love, how to rp these types of encounters, and how different ideas dealing with this type of stuff would affect the campaign

Its a comic series. Fair warning, its SUPER NSFW. Its basically if you were cataloging an adventure made from the Book of Erotic Fantasy, and everyone at your table had a GREAT sense of humor, this is what you'd make with it.

Here's the "Pinecone" comic which is one of few comic pages from that site that IS technically SFW (just a big ole gay smooch). Clicking next for page 2 is NSFW, but it continues the skit.

The Xoan Ambassador is my favorite character. He's like everyone's charisma-rogue/bard hybrid type.

More on the Zoan Ambassador nonsense (Nsfw)

u/Jebydia · 2 pointsr/DnD

If you really need lots of sex rules you can adapt book of erotic fantasy

Was originally for 3.5 but can probably adapt everything in there if needed.

u/CircumcisedSpine · 2 pointsr/WTF

And here is the Amazon page for it.

http://www.amazon.com/Book-Erotic-Fantasy-Gwendolyn-Kestrel/dp/1588463990

God, I love Amazon reviewers.

u/dnd_curious · 1 pointr/DnD

I see, thanks for pointing that out. I didn't actually know where the chart came from.

So it's this book (gallery). It just says "OGL", doesn't seem to mention 3E anywhere. I guess that would mean that it's technically still usable in 5E?

u/beardbard89 · 1 pointr/dirtypenpals

If you need some more inspiration for absurd sexual D&D, look no further than The Book of Erotic Fantasy

u/delroland · 1 pointr/dndnext

You can still find the Book of Erotic Fantasy on Amazon, though it's out of print so all the prices are stupid high.

It was a little silly but a good amount of the material was actually decent.

u/Rabbitknight · 1 pointr/DungeonsAndDragons

If this is the kind of game you want to run may I reccomend this book it's 3.5 but easily adapted:
https://www.amazon.com/Book-Erotic-Fantasy-Gwendolyn-Kestrel/dp/1588463990

If not, "you are now capable of bending in such a way as it is possible" fade to black move on.

Hey, I've managed to play DnD for a decade now without using that book. I don't want to have to start now.

u/Luk3ling · 1 pointr/DnD

> And what do you choose to do? Get your fucking rocks off? How incredibly goddamn pathetic is that?

> It's just gross and sad on many different levels.

You want to bitch about me being condescending when you choose phrases like "incredibly goddamn pathetic" and "sad on so many levels" to describe people who don't share your opinion.

> "I was asked what my opinion on it was. I gave my opinion. To quote another contributor to this thread, "It all depends on the group and how they want to play." That's how I want to play, and I'm getting attacked for it."

Let me fix this sentence for you, so that maybe you understand why you're being attacked.

"I was asked my opinion, so I gave it, using words like "Pathetic" and "Sad" to describe people who don't share my opinion with me. I find it silly that people might enjoy romance in their D&D, therefore everyone else should as well, if they don't, well fuck those sad, pathetic people!"

Sorry to break it to you, bro, but there are a lot of people who feel the need for even X-RATED content in their table top, let alone just pg13 romance.

Asshole.

What the fuck did I just read?
