Some examples:
*** The Roleplay book ''Sold Down The River'' has a side story about the High Elf Immarana and Imperial human Adalbart Hensch-mann, who are lovers with particularly bigoted parents. How their story ends is up to the DM.
** In the same book, the Wood Elf Trancas co-owns a business with the human ex-sergeant Morgaine Bauersdottir, and it is noted offhand that they are both best friends and lovers. Trancas's description also notes that interested human women occasionally proposition him [[IncompatibleOrientation to no avail]]; implying that such a thing isn't unthinkable in the first place.
*** The Roleplay 2e Character Compendium has a character named Hugo Dorshield. He was one of the few humans the Wood Elves trusted, which made him their go-between for trade with Quenelles. At some time in that position he and a Wood Elf woman became lovers. A xenophobic baron then forbade "consorting" between elves and humans (implying that happened often enough that he had to make a law against it, even among the xenophobic peoples of Athel Loren and Bretonnia), which led to the death of Dorshield's lover, after which he took up a vengeance crusade against the baron alongside some Wood Elf friends.
*** One of the lead characters in "Gilead's Blood" is a half-elf; his mother was an unnamed human, and his father was the High Elf Nithrom.
*** The WFB 2e book "Blood Bath at Orc's Drift" has a description of the event "F'yar's Revenge" where a prince named Laeron leads a mixed-species coalition to defeat various goblin armies and becomes the King of the Grand League of Ramalia. Said prince is referred to as half human and half elf, and his high position implies his parents were of similarly high status.
*** In the Roleplay 4e book "Power Behind the Throne", Middenheim's elven bard Rallane has occasional dalliances with human women, was in a serious relationship with one, and is "hopelessly infatuated" with the elector-count's daughter, though he knows such a relationship would never be allowed by the count and she doesn't seem to regard him the same way.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'':
** If it exists and can have sex, then some Exalted has had sex with it. The Lunars above all, that's how Beastmen came to be. If it makes a difference, the Lunars have the ability and usually the inclination to ask animals first, and shapeshift into the same species. Beastmen, for the record, are usually conceived when a Lunar and a human ''or'' a Lunar and an animal mate in a [[RealityIsOutToLunch Wyld bordermarch]]... with [[{{Squick}} the Lunar in a form different from their mate]]. (Geoff C. Grabowski once defended the Lunars' predilections by pointing them to ''TabletopGame/WerewolfTheApocalypse'' with the words "[=---=] This Wolf Or The Earth Will Die". (Direct quote.))
** The game has rules for various types of "God-Blooded," beings with one normal mortal parent and one Exalted or non-human parent. That parent may be an Exalt, a faerie, demon, a god, an elemental, or even a ghost. Sex, let alone breeding with, anything besides a Dragon-Blood is taboo in Realm culture, and interspecies pairings are frowned upon by the Celestial Bureaucracy and many other cultures. But plenty of gods give the finger to their superiors and plenty of cultists like to summon demons for disturbing uses. For ghosts, reproduction requires an obscure and hard-to-learn power. Gods, Lunars, faeries, demon-worshippers, and Deathlords all value God-Blooded as useful minions (or slaves) with a measure of their parents' abilities but not nearly enough power to pose any threat to their creator or owner. They may also lack their non-human parents' frailties, such as Fae-blooded and Half-demons who can live in Creation indefinitely without problems. Lunars also like to spawn whole armies of Beastmen, since their own numbers are so limited.
** Interestingly, some God-Blooded are born to parents who subvert this trope; some gods have ways of reproducing that don't involve anything remotely resembling sex, especially those with totally non-human anatomy. If you get pregnant from inhaling magic pollen, does it really count as romance?
* ''TabletopGame/{{Ironclaw}}'' only hints at the possibility of interspecies romances in the main book. However the main character of the novel ''Scars'' is the daughter of a grey fox noble and a red fox servant, and a raccoon has an unrequited crush on her. And the Book of Jade supplement has a legend of an ill-fated romance between a dragon prince and a peasant vixen; the dragon was killed by his jealous brother and the vixen turned herself into a dragon through force of will to avenge him, then she laid nine eggs and her sons developed dragon magic that gradually makes the user more draconic.
* In one of the story arcs of ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' [[http://magiccards.info/10e/en/279.html Mirri]] (a [[CatGirl cat warrior]]) had an unrequited crush on her (human) childhood friend [[http://magiccards.info/query?q=!Gerrard%20Capashen Gerrard]].
** Among the crop of post-Mending walkers, there seems to be a bit of ShipTease going on between the human Planeswalker Jace and the Gorgon Planeswalker Vraska. Jace’s previous romance involved the immortal necromancer [[TheNecromancer Liliana Vess]]. Meanwhile, a [[HoYay same-sex version]] is hinted at between [[PlayingWithFire pyromancer Chandra Nalaar]] and [[OurElvesAreDifferent elvish druid Nissa Revane]].
* ''TabletopGame/RocketAge'' has the human Thomas Moore and Martian Princess Fayiltha of Polintal. Since Moore was such a hero to Polintal the city's Kastari declared him a Silthuri soul in a human body and allowed them to marry.
* Almost completely absent in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' (everyone is either an AbsoluteXenophobe, asexual, or rigidly enforces breeding), but it pops up from time to time:
** Both the Dark Eldar and [[ReligionOfEvil the followers]] of the [[MadGod Chaos God]] [[SenseFreak Slaanesh]] indulge in gratuitous interspecies rape on occasion, but that's primarily because their MO runs on {{Squick}}.
** [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness Back when 40K was a parody]], the Ultramarines had Iliyan Nastase, a human/Eldar hybrid psyker who was both their Chief Librarian and an Astropath. This is somewhat undermined by that same fluff also stating that Eldar have, [[ArtisticLicenseBiology among other horrendous biological impossibilities]], zero body fat (but for some reason the females still have rather prominent breasts) and ''[[BizarreAlienBiology triple-helix DNA]]''. As 40K got more serious, this quickly became yet another piece of weird early lore that fell into CanonDiscontinuity territory.
** The ''Wrath and Glory'' RPG implies that this happens at the fringes of the galaxy where the Imperium has little to no control and interspecies mixing is common among both their border worlds and the large number of independent states and states-within-states. Namely, the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/ImaginaryWarhammer/comments/bpcogs/can_love_bloom_on_the_battlefield_from_the_wrath/ "Flame of The Heart"]] [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/97ua09/official_campaign_card_from_wrath_glory_cant_wait/ card]] depicts a human man and an Eldar woman; for context, that's the card for starting an "amorous relationship" between your character and an NPC.
** Genestealers combine this trope with FaceFullOfAlienWingWong, a sub-species of [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Tyranid]] that focus on infiltrating target populations. They do this by changing a target's DNA slightly, making the target absolutely devoted to the Genestealer and Tyranids in general, and horny. Any child of the targeted creature (known as a Brood Brother) is less of the parent race and more Tyranid, until by the fourth generation Brood Brothers (or Sisters) give birth to purestrain Genestealers.
* Although "romance" wasn't involved, the earliest edition of ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasyRoleplay'' had half-orcs in it, as well as a race called the fimir, who consisted of sterile spellcasting females and fertile males, and thusly kidnapped human women to propagate themselves.

** The game has rules for various types of "God-Blooded," beings with one normal mortal parent and one Exalted or non-human parent. That parent may be an Exalt, a faerie, demon, a god, an elemental, or even a ghost. Sex, let alone breeding with, anything besides a Dragon-Blood is taboo in Realm culture, and interspecies pairings are frowned upon by the Celestial Bureaucracy and many other cultures. But plenty of gods give the finger to their superiors and plenty of cultists like to summon demons for disturbing uses. For ghosts, reproduction requires an obscure and hard-to-learn power. Gods, Lunars, faeries, demon-worshippers, and Deathlords all value God-Blooded as useful minions (or slaves) with a measure of their parents' abilities but not nearly enough power to pose any threat to their creator or owner. They may also lack their non-human parents' frailties, such as Fae-blooded and Half-demons who can live in Creation indefinitely without problems. Lunars also like to spawn whole armies of Beastmen, since their own numbers are so limited.
** Interestingly, some God-Blooded are born to parents who subvert this trope; some gods have ways of reproducing that don't involve anything remotely resembling sex, especially those with totally non-human anatomy. If you get pregnant from inhaling magic pollen, does it really count as romance?

** The game has rules for various types of "God-Blooded," beings with one normal mortal parent and one Exalted or non-human parent. That parent may be an Exalt, a faerie, demon, a god, an elemental, or even a ghost. Sex, let alone breeding with, anything besides a Dragon-Blood is taboo in Realm culture, and interspecies pairings are frowned upon by the Celestial Bureaucracy and many other cultures. But plenty of gods give the finger to their superiors and plenty of cultists like to summon demons for disturbing uses. For ghosts, reproduction requires an obscure and hard-to-learn power. Gods, Lunars, faeries, demon-worshippers, and Deathlords all value God-Blooded as useful minions (or slaves) with a measure of their parents' abilities but not nearly enough power to pose any threat to their creator or owner. They may also lack their non-human parents' frailties, such as Fae-blooded and Half-demons who can live in Creation indefinitely without problems. Lunars also like to spawn whole armies of Beastmen, since their own numbers are so limited.

** It is hinted in some of the older fluff, however, that the [[MarySue Ultramarines]] do have a human/Eldar hybrid among their number, though this is somewhat undermined by the fact that the same fluff also states that Eldar have, [[YouFailBiologyForever among other horrendous biological impossibilities]], zero body fat (but for some reason the females still have [[MostCommonSuperpower rather prominent breasts]]) and [[BizarreAlienBiology TRIPLE HELIX DNA.]]

Added DiffLines:
*** ''Night Horrors: Wicked Dead'' introduces the [=NWoD=] take on the {{Dhampyr}}, which is born when a human and a vampire engage in carnal relationships backed by magic or a massive amount of emotional focus -- [[ThePowerOfLove a deep sincere love]] is mentioned as the most common, and most tragic, cause of their creation. And because the laws of nature are already being broken by their creation, ''any'' combination of a vampire/human pairing can produce them. [[HomosexualReproduction Even two men or two women]]. And when a heterosexual couple are the parents, [[MisterSeahorse the male can end up carrying the baby instead of the female]] -- this is (fortunately) usually only caused by magic and tends to occur when it's a male vampire/female human couple. Male humans can carry the dhampyr safely... but [[DeathByChildbirth delivery is another matter]].

Now think about [[FridgeHorror how those two statements are reconciled]], [[BrainBleach or do not think about it]].
