An entire date night in a book. One adventure, two players, no Game Master required.

When a half-elf bard and an elf cartographer reach for the same battered green book at a market stall, neither realizes they have just bought trouble. The book is a goblin's guide to romance, and the advice it contains is uniformly terrible. The night they spend following it will be the most dangerous, embarrassing, and revealing evening of either of their lives.

The Goblin's Guide to Courtship is a complete 5e-compatible duet adventure designed for exactly two players sitting across a table from each other - one wine glass each, dice in the middle, no Game Master needed. The book itself runs the game. The players play themselves, follow the goblin's instructions against all reasonable judgment, and find out who they are when nobody is keeping score.

What's Inside:

  • A self-contained two-hour adventure that needs no preparation - read the book, gather some dice, and play tonight
  • Two pre-generated characters: Wren the half-elf bard with a broken lute string, and Sable the elf cartographer with ink-stained fingers
  • Two original creatures with full stat blocks compatible with fifth edition rules
  • The Interrupt Table - twenty entries of awful goblin wisdom, each one with a specific action the player must actually try at the table
  • A printable Play Aid for tracking Affection, Courage, Trust, Mood, and Secret Insecurities through the evening
  • Seven illustrated scene locations to ground the night in place
  • Three possible endings, each one earned
  • An original mechanical system that uses Charisma rolls but is built around speaking truthfully more than rolling well
Perfect For:
  • Couples looking for a different kind of date night
  • Two-player roleplaying groups who want a quick, complete experience without prep
  • Anniversaries, Valentine's Day, engagement parties, bachelorette and bachelor nights, wedding showers, or a Saturday evening at home
  • Anyone who has ever taken bad romantic advice from a small green book
  • Players who want to laugh at themselves and each other in a low-stakes, intentionally vulnerable space
  • Tabletop fans who already own every fifth edition rulebook and want something different
