Rolling for Chemistry: How Dice Can Make You Sweat

In Eros Engine, you don’t need to whisper the details — but you do roll for them.

Every action in an intimacy scene — a kiss, a caress, a breath held too long — can be resolved with a single, elegant formula:

d20 + Attribute Modifier + Skill Rank ± Mood and Situation Modifiers.

Simple, fast, and full of surprises.

The dice bring tension. Success builds arousal, failure costs energy or confidence. Natural 20? Sparks fly. Natural 1? Maybe something hilariously awkward happens — a fumbled move, a laugh that breaks the tension.

The system treats intimacy as interactive storytelling. It’s not about “winning,” but about feeling the push and pull of connection. Each roll is a heartbeat in the story’s rhythm.

And because the game tracks more than arousal — it also follows Energy, Mood, and Resolve — every scene becomes a dance of choice and chance.

You can hold back, surrender, or push for one more round. You can narrate your character’s exhaustion, elation, or self-control.

That’s where the real storytelling happens — in the moment between desire and decision.

So when someone asks, “Do you really roll for that?”
The answer is yes — and that’s what makes it thrilling.
