Prostitution is the oldest profession. It has always existed and it will always exist. The presence of prostitutes and brothels is crucial for making a game setting and world feel realistic and lived in. Otherwise, it will lack all verisimilitude. So, tell us, how have you incorporated prostitution into your game?
Continuing from OP, in my current game (D&D 3.5) I've made prostitutes a common sight in all but the very smallest towns. Brothels are also found in medium-sized towns and up. The players were a little weirded out at first, but they soon learned to use the hookers as readily available sources of information, as they're always out and about. Now, whenever they run into an issue, they almost always first check out the local brothel or ask street girls for information.
I'd tell you, if I had reason to believe I'd get a discussion worth the time to type it out, or any coherent response at all.

>>97811985I can't promise other anons will contribute, but I'll be happy to comment on your ideas.>>97812011What does this mean?
Sir, this is a game for elementary school students. I’m going to have to ask you to leave the library.
>>97812085>What does this mean?unfortunate choice of opening image
i've seen this thread before!
>>97811889I don’t have sex in my tabletop RPGs. Next.
>>97812099Play snakes and ladders if you want, that's not the topic of the thread.>>97812137I just saved it off the board, I dunno what it is.
After a long day of fighting djinn and ghouls I like to relax at the local boy brothel.
>>97811889I just finished a document that details the reproductive methods and procedures of every Species in the system. I'll eventually have descriptions for every half-breed option available. The document includes rules for reproduction as well as new options to prevent it or allow it depending on the species and item.
>>97811889Oh, another puckee thread. Sweet.
Is it legal to hire escorts
>>97812156If you saved it off the board, you'd know exactly what it is.
>>97812156Without going into too much detail, there's a set of images that kept (keep) getting reposted so persistently that people started to notice and get actively annoyed by seeing them. You've managed to picke one of those.>>97812198I'm sure Gordon Byron would approve.
>>97812287Frankly, "escort" is ambiguous, can be a hoe, can be someone with a gun.. can be hoe with a gun even.
>>97811889>yet another dogshit one-line survey thread designed to create fake engagement for advertisershttps://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/q1nf37/character_commission_art_done_by_bella_bergolts/
>>97811889>Prostitution is the oldest professionNo that would be hunter
>>97812156
>>97811889Part of the backstory of my character. One of her closest companion NPC was being groomed into into it when they were teens until she was thrown to the street for catching smallpox and "ruining the investment".
>>97812582Huh, current half elf rogue has prostitution as part of her backstory too. She was basically fucking away her bounty with the captain of the guard in the city she would pickpocket in. She ended up fleeing when that captain was killed and a new guard captain had no interest in keeping up his predecessors agreement with her. Fleeing the city was how she ended up meeting the party.
>>97812525What is this supposed to prove? That OP made a thread?
>>97812683>61 results founddo the math, retard
>>97812683That he made the thread 60+ times.
>>97811889Weird, when I say all women are whores people usually get upset. This is a more tactical approach, I should try it.
>>97812683These threads are spam made by someone who only comes here to spam images he either commissions or finds on artstation. He doesn't play any TTRPGs. He doesn't care about them either. He will only occasionally glance at 5e for ideas on how he can hide his shameful spam under the guise of actually playing a TTRPG. He is a pest that feels entitled to shit up /tg/ and then pretend that he's just trying to talk about worldbuilding, and for reasons beyond our control, the mods have not permabanned him.
>>97812198>local boy brothel.Surely brother you mean the Cafe or Barber Shop?
>>97813075>he doesn't knowheh
>>97812523Completely incorrect. Hunting is not a profession, it's a method of basic subsistence.
>>97813122Cafes and Barber shops that exclusively have young boys as servers and shampooers of course.
>>97811889OP is a fag as always, but here's the answer:No, because it would be awkward unless you're playing an Erpg, and nobody does that. It's hard enough to get a normal game going
>>97813170>Hunting is not a profession>Having sex is
>>97813245follow up question:Why would you do it?Presumably it will be a building with 6-10 women and a fade-to-black if you hire them, is it really worth a mention if none of your players ask?
>>97813254Having sex for money is a profession, yes. Nothing is exchanged for monetary gain in hunting, making it not a profession. You'll understand how this all works once you're an adult.
>>97813343>is it really worth a mentionYes, if you want your setting to have the slightest bit of credibility and realism.
>>97813380We have observe monkey doing sex work to get food. You don't need money to invent prostitution. Once the monkeys realized the tokens could buy grapes and marshmallows, researchers observed a male monkey trade a token to a female for sex. Immediately after the encounter, the female took the token and traded it with the researchers for food.In the wild, specifically among chimpanzees, researchers have observed similar exchanges that aren't dependent on human-taught "money".
>>97811889just kill yourself already, nobody likes you or you threads or your pictures.
>>97811889This looks like shit.
>>97811889Know what else is a really fucking old profession?SLAVE TRADER!Know what else is really old?ELVES!ELF SLAVE! WHAT DO?
>>97811889the oldest profession is hunter, porn slave.
>>97811889Everyone shits. If you aren't roleplaying your regular bowel movements and discussing the plumbing situation in your locations, then the setting will lack all verisimilitude.
>>97813037Isn't that like multiple "schizos" on this board >>97789948
>>97813380
>>97813418>We have observe monkey doing sex work to get food. You don't need money to invent prostitution.Pisaura Mirabilis, also known as "bridal gift spider", mating involves male brining food for the female to placate her for the ordeal... which means the concept of sex-for-food technically goes back millions of years.
>>97811889I have made sure that upon visiting their first town the party will always encounter OP's mother.
>>97811889>>97813418>>97813678>Using science/history to try to justify why you should be allowed to roleplay sex in your tabletopsHold on a minute. This is just FATAL.
>>97812342Or a gun that is a hoe.
>>97813731
>>97813568Wouldn't be pronounced bait, would be pronounced bite-oh.
>>97813567It's either one guy that the staff doesn't care about, or a member of the staff themselves. It's the same shit for years, same files, same file hashes, same threads, same posts, same trite attempts at being tangentially on-topic, same weirdly identical writing styles in the replies where someone spins an elaborate story that never mentions system, other players, game masters, or anything else.
>>97811889What game?
>>97813865If it's Xenoblade 2, absolutely
>>97813434Why would someone kill themselves because a bunch of autists on a korean basket weaving forum are mad at him?
>>97811889Read the AD&D 1E dmg. Just in general everyone of you fag lords should read it but it would make you newfags stop making these useless waste of time threads.
>>97815049The one you actually play. You do play games, right?
>>97811889>Welcome to my magical realm
>>97811889I really doubt there are prostitutes in a deadly monster and trapped filled mega-dungeon, which is were the current game I am playing is taking place. Like 95% of places my games in the past 5 or so years take place it wouldn't make sense for whores to be around. WTF are you talking about?
>>97813567>>97814191same story on multiple boards btw
>>97812221I think about stuff like this while at work but I don't think I have the courage to write it down or actually incorporate it meaningfully in a actual game or story I am writing (I use the same worldbuilding to both game and write shortish stories).Like it's interesting but would be cringe if someone found it written down.
>>97811889It isn't and I don't. Low quality posts are against the rules.
>>97813380You can also hunt in exchange for things. Hunted surplus not used for subsistence was often traded.Making it the oldest profession.
>>97813402No, not really.
>>97811889Not a profession. You don't need to get a degree for this.Its manual labour for money.Its a Trade.Stop propagating this tiresome meme.
>>97813678And how did the spiders get the food?Holy fucking shit, what the fuck is up with the new captcha?Oh wait, I just looked at the date. Oh no.
>>97815202No, my game isn't the topic of the OP. Try again.
>>97815350All I know is that /an/ is apparently like this, but people say the /tg/ one is just one schizo wishing /tg/ was still like it was in 2008
Prostitutes are a good source of information and mental health. It is known that a significant of men who go to them don't even want sex. They just want to talk about their problems and they have to do the job of therapists.
>>97815372A meaningless distinction. It's skilled labor like any other. Building rapport, curating a list of reliable and trustworthy regular clients, negotiating sales, and putting on a good performance.I saw a documentary once about male prostitutes who take female clients. It was fucking sad. Most of their clients were also prostitutes.
>>97811913Player characters are also well poised to offer that kind of service for supplementary income.>PCs are often race unusual for the region, that factor alone makes them in demand even with average looks>PCs are usually powerful enough to deal with troublesome clients all by themselves.>PCs usually don't linger in one place long enough to draw ire from people running local business on whose income their might trespass>PCs should be already well equpipped to deal with minor injuries, disease, or any such negative consequence sustained in the process.And general thrill-seeking nature of adventuring has implicit overlap with thrill-seeking nature of sleeping around. Might as well get paid for it.
>>97813488>WHAT DO?Prostitution.
>>97815049>>97811913D&D 3.5 apparently. Are you illiterate?
>>97813037>for reasons beyond our control, the mods have not permabanned him.Worse, they protect him. Calling out a puckee thread can land you a 3 day ban.Don't forget to sage puckee threads.
>>97817023You can always hide threads you don't like, you know.
>>97817547>you can just avoid the piles of human shit in the street by stepping over them!>I will proceed to ignore any argument pointing out why shitting in the street is a fundamentally bad idea!
>>97817023How do you suppose we prevent him bumping it 8-24 hours after the last reply? Not all of us are on this board 24/7 like he is.
>>97813488I put on my robe and wizard hat, ofc
