S/lay w/Me

S/lay w/Me is a tabletop role-playing game created by Ron Edwards and published by Adept Press in 2009. It is designed for exactly two players: one plays a hero, while the other acts as gamemaster and simultaneously controls both the hero's lover and a monstrous opponent. The game is set in a sword and sorcery fantasy world and is contained in a 29-page rulebook. Play begins with character creation, choosing the hero's archetype, location, and goal, after which the two players alternate narrating forward-moving events. When the hero and the monster accumulate enough matching dice against the monster's score, a phase called The Match begins, and the climax turns on the hero player trying to achieve the stated goal through dice matching. Although the game's artwork, title, and text carry a mature aesthetic, its rules do not require sexualized content, and reviewers praised its game system for blending traditional role-playing elements with narrative-focused design.
