From the kickstarter page:
Q. Is Lewd Dungeon Adventures LGBT friendly?
A. Yes. While suggested intimacy acts in the books are written for hetero couples, many of the options can be easily converted for same-sex couples.
I wonder if this will be attacked because its designed around hetero normative play?
Why is this a thing? Lewd RPGs have been a thing since inception and you would need to be REALLY comfortable with your group to do that. Also codifying it? This feels kinda cringe.

I think its more for couples TBH. I know. Sounds odd.
On every metric and for whatever reason you're playing a role play game, this feels unnecessary. I would have thought the demographic of couples that wants to act out a sexy version of D&D but is restricted by the lack of rules to the extent they need to kickstart a bespoke project, and that specific project and rules will hit the mark so to speak, must be vanishingly small.
On the other hand the point of Kickstarter and Capitalism is to prove people like me wrong. World takes all sorts.
That's just a strange idea, especially with the TTRPG audience.
I can see how they'd need a kickstarter to fund this kind of limited audience thing.
How much of this could they sell in units? It's a niche of a niche, and each "group" only needs one rulebook... so your sales are cut in half, anyway.
Makes me think of the Satine & Stone saga over there at the other place. Hobbies often aren't good business.

Nah, I get it, because I do run a game for a couple, but like I can see two situations:
1 - You're a third person GMing for a couple.
2 - One of the couple GMs and the other plays for two
So really, what's the point? In the first case (I do this) it's fine if the couple knows the third person really well so it's not awkward. And in the second, it's like. Why not just do free-form roleplay or whatever the fuck.
Wonder if that'll get streamed on Twitch?
Currently at five times it's funding goal. I liked this hobby so much more before it was invaded by so many pimps, whores, and grifters. Feels like my one time girlfriend is now little more than a used up, jizz-splattered whore with track marks in her arms.

Wow.
So not interested in this.
So, they like RPGs so much they want to turn it into a drinking/sex game. I'm with jeff37923. I marvel that it funded. But I'm sure there are enough arrested development types out there that'll think this is gold.

Lewd Dungeons: Where Role Play Meets Role Play.
Sounds familiar. Like maybe they had tried Kickstarting the project before, but didn't reach funding.

I've just looked at the kickstarter page and its now over 7 times its goal. I can't believe so many people are interested in what I read as being a snuff rpg.
"There are many scenarios in which intimacy plays a part in the game.
The most common times are when a character dies"???!!! (emphasis mine)

From the sound of it, its more for two players, one the GM is "god" the other is the hero. When the hero dies, that player must appease the god via a sex act.
Hey, who am I to say how to have a good time?
The fumble tables would probably be amusing.
"£31,303 pledged of £4,171 goal. 24 days to go."
Due to the absurd amount of money these Literally Who(?) Kickstarters make you still cannot convince me they're anything but a money laundering front.
When is FATAL getting a new edition crowd funded? It'd make millions on 'ironic buyers' alone.
QuoteWhen a Hero dies in the game, they must engage in an intimate encounter with their God/Goddess to be revived.
Oof yikes sweetie, sounds pretty coercive to me. Um read the heckin room???

Just FYI, you can simplify the link, as I did above. Everything from the ?ref= on is tracking information used to identify where a click-through came from.
I'm amazed at their success.
The book may be great for all I know, but the KS page is definitely not IMO. The character sheet is bad. The layout is 5e but the system is not. The art is good but scarce, and not "lewd" in any sense. The "gobblin' is unremarkable.
"There is no custom character creation aside from choosing your character's race, which can be any race you can image"... uh, ok.
"The most important thing the Hero needs to keep track of is their Health. Unlike in many tabletop RPGs, Lewd Dungeon Adventures makes dying fun. When a Hero dies in the game, they must engage in an intimate encounter with their God/Goddess to be revived. These acts are performed in the real world, taking your role-playing experience to the next level. Alternatively, they can take an Elixir of Life, which is a one-ounce pour of liquor or three drinks of an alcoholic beverage of their choice."
I don't even... is this a list of things to do in bed with you partner? I can only imagine how one partner feels after hearing "nah, I'd rather drink"... (not to mention I fail to see the appeal of such drinking games - especially in RPGs - but that's just me).
Maybe the author is someone famous or admittedly competent? Or is just that sex sells? Maybe curiosity or controversy?
I guess I should find a way to KS my own stuff. I'd have more art and hopefully better text from the beginning. Oh well, that's probably "sour grapes" talk. I hope the book is great, and if that's the case I'll take a look.
1). I was expecting something off /tg/.
2). I was thinking of a very different "Elixir of Life" to be swallowed.
3). If you're going to do a lewd RPG, go balls deep. I think Venger had the right tone with Alpha Blue.
4). Kegel Palace - I like it. Tightest defenses in the land, they'll squeeze you good.
And I'm spent.

I feel like some of your references had multiple meanings...
