Do you include gooncore species like Asari, Drow, Twi'leks and T'au in your settings?
>inb4 no, why
Almost every mainstream scifi and fantasy setting has a waifubait race
>>
>>98004199
Yes, but I ensure the PCs never get any. They universally treat the PCs as sexual non-entities, or as their gay best friends. This is because I like to make players feel small, grubby and helpless on a personal level. Think of it as a slap of reality in the face, to contrast the big hero fantasy of a campaign.
I justify this by saying "Guys, I don't do romance, that would be creepy and gay, you don't want to be cringe, right?" but have everyone around them fucking.
Case in point, the Esaal (A/S/L), gorgeous technopath space elves. Their female navigators pilot ships by immersing themselves, naked, in a nanite bath and interfacing with the controls.
They spend weeks to months in suspension, making them really horny when they come out.
After rescuing a crippled Esaal ship, one PC helped the female Navigator in her recovery. When he visited her in her quarters, she was naked except for an open shirt (they have no nudity taboo, see) and casually discussed her recovery while thanking him for the food he'd brought.
Then one of the ship's Vigilators, a big, muscular jock of a provost, came out of a side-room and asked if she was ready for "Round six". He was embarassed when he saw the PC, went "Oh sorry Sir, I didn't know you were..." and the Esaal told the PC "We'll talk later, I have something to get back to. Thank you for saving me, you're a great warrior and a worthy friend."
He was so pissed, and (even better) he couldn't articulate why. I made sure that the provost had nothing but respect for the PC's heroics, and worked closely with him the entire time.

You mean like in original settings? If I'm playing a Star Wars or D&D game it's more work to write out the gooner races. At least if you're writing a setting from the ground up you have to go out of your way to make a gooner race so I can question if you're fapping under the table or not.
>>
>>98004229
>Reigar
I hadn't encountered these before but honestly that's kind of interesting fluff. They have a Spartan-like 'limited number of true citizens, who have only one focus, supported by many slaves and second-class citizen specialists' but having the focus be on art and all the militaristic stuff devoted to one type of those second-class specialists is quite novel. You wonder if the Reigar/Lakshu alliance was originally a more equal partnership but the Reigar came to dominate not through military but through an overwhelming cultural supremacy.

It is definitely more interesting if the Lakshu have diverse forms modified to suit the particular Reigar they serve rather than all being sexy green punk space babes though, as against the thread topic as that might be.
>>
>>98004199
I don't call it "gooncore" because I'm not a puritanical weirdo who thinks if you enjoy seeing attractive women you must be jacking off for 16 hours a day.
>>
You have to have sexy blue babes in any self-respecting sci fi. Putting in some myself for a game, I just have to choose between either spacemaster or just using GURPS
For fantasy you always have elves if nothing else.
>>98004307
This is sensible.

I like them. Mine is a captain who the players think is their carefree buddy, flying around on her ship full of ladies (she's got 2 lakshu and a helot who appears to be perfect "damsel in distress" bait but who is, of course, just a soulless automaton). They run into her in various ports. They haven't yet figured out that she's the one who assassinated their first captain. That she's intentionally following them. Because she wants to blow up the sun, as her great work, and the PCs are unwittingly on a course to do so (the Astromundi Cluster has a sub-plot about the Arcane trying to destroy the sun in order to create a gateway into the Abyss and my players are unwittingly collecting the magical treasures required to build the artifact that'll do it, and Brighton wants to see it pop).

Sorry to disappoint. Mine are sexy space babes.
>>
>>98004351
It's fine, it's fine. The little blurb I read made them seem into body-modding, lots of tattoos and piercings, so I think a fun extension of that would be to have them into magitech cybernetics and really extreme changes of form as an extension of the Reigar's love of art. But I can't deny they are clearly meant to be sexy space babes at heart.

>>98004339
This sounds very fun. They'd be a good PC race too honestly, very open motivation for just about any shenanigans you can imagine. And fun antagonists, because the tendency to crafting magical devices really lets you run away with encounter design if you want to.

Oh, I very much enjoy rubbing it in the faces of the players. There are some players I cannot fucking stand, this is a way to work off my frustrations.
Sure they can be the big heroes, but I don't have to pretend they'll be romantically successful too.
>>
>>98004867
I think maybe you should just get a normal group of like-minded friends, my man.
>>
>>98004741
Honestly you just need to make them attractive women with some sort of differently human trait like an odd skin color or cat ears. As absurd as >>98004825 sounds this is pretty much how it works. In the OP Asari, Drow, Twileks and Tau are all wildly different from each other but people still end up gooning over them just like that post describes. Tau aren't even attractive outside of fanart.

Release them and let them find tables that will satiate their interests and then you can find players more amenable to your interests. You’re literally cucking them, anon. It brings you pleasure to see them romantically suffer. That’s netorare, which makes you the slimiest piece of shit I can imagine even if the source of that behavior is sympathetic.

Honestly the game sounds fine and the objection is reasonable so while this is a kind of bizarrely adversial way to approach it I think anon seems alright and the people in the game are probably having fun. I actually can get not wanting to GM for close friends because it's more interesting to GM for relative strangers, too. You can be more objective and are more likely to be surprised.

I think anon’s approach would have been broadly accepted in 2010 or even 2014, but there’s been a very overt trend towards scrubbing “titillation” from tabletop and being reminded of that will poke many raw nerves. That’s why people generally seem to be turned off by his explanations. It’s the state of the world we live in.
>>
>>98005157
It's not really about 'titillation' and more about 'emotionality'. A lot of modern games are supposed to be 'safe' in that they don't make you feel negative emotions. Even losses are somewhat padded, so it's interesting to see the opposite, more old-school approach.
>>
>>98005172
Except this isn’t the opposite approach, it’s a flat ban on it - in fact, he’s flaunting the content in the player’s face and “enjoying” the frustration it causes. If this really was an old-school approach, there’d be an avenue for getting one of the waifubait aliens.
>>
>>98005172
Yes, although I think this is kind of an outgrowth from the 'player control' or GM-less systems that started to become popular in the indie scene. For instance even Apocalypse World and its many spin-offs, which does have a GM, restricts that GM's actions to specific, known moves like the players' and allows for a great deal of player input. In a good group those players bring negativity and problems on themselves when it's good for the story. In a bad group, or probably more specifically with immature players bent on wish fulfillment, that 'player control' is just exerted to avoid negative emotions.
>>
>>98005153
There is a weird thing I'm noticing with waifu races in that they seem to often be technologically advanced. Even Drow have robots and cybernetics in their lore and are very magically accomplished. Asari are the dominant governing species in Mass Effect when they are introduced. Tau are a unusually hi-tech race in a schizotech setting. Elerians are advanced with unique psychic technology.

I wonder what mental link makes colour skin space babe = advanced tech.
>>
>>98005195
Adding onto this because I’m Phoneposting due to being at work, but If you really wanted to be old-school about it then you’d want to make it a whole slew of prerequisites to get a sexy alien babe GF. Like how it’s tough as hell (and actually impossible if you roll poorly) to become a Paladin in, say, HackMaster. This of course is all ignoring the fact the GM explicitly says he does not want to roleplay PC relationships, but a proper old-timey approach rewards player effort while still making much of it down to luck and skill.
>>
>>98005213
Space babes are cultured, and the easiest way to denote culture in sci-fi or fantasy is with technological superiority.
>>
>>98005213
elerians are feudal and therefore always lag behind in technology

tau are only a "waifu race" in memes

I'm not disputing your overall point, which is kind of interesting and deserves exploration, but a couple of your examples are bunk.

Not only does my system have monster girls, my favorite type of monster girl is exclusively female (though they can reproduce via parthenogenesis as well). Of course I generally prefer any species in my system to be conventionally attractive if your inclinations are fitting for the gender of that species you're looking at, or if they're in the Funny Little Guys category they should look whimsical and aesthetically appealing. It's fantasy, why shouldn't the standard be something you want to look at rather than something revolting?

This isn't to say that every member of the race must be an attractive model, but rather that, given an average specimen of the other race, an average human can reliably be convinced to be attracted to it. You must not be required to pull the "hear me out" clause when explaining why you are attracted to one of these races.

Calling them "gooncore" is cringe as fuck, though, and I rebuke that label.

being highly magically or scientifically advanced is an easy way to justify walking around naked. You can also have naked barbarians and cavemen, but they're not usually major threats and are looked down upon, races like Asari and Drow are the ones looking down on YOU as the stupid cavemen barbarians, not the other way around.

A drow matron mother walks around with her tits out in a spider-silk bondage getup because she's dripping in enchanted jewelry and layered defensive spells that make it so you'd have a harder time slicing through steel full plate than scratching her naked vantablack ass. Decadent, advanced, beautiful, and cruel societies like Melniboné are a big influence.

The most recent G-Reco movie has a scene, right at the there, where Aida (the love interest) is missing her hair scrunchie and is looking for it. A crewman, Kerbes, casually passes it to her (since it was left in his room).
This causes Bellri (the protagonist) to go insane and decide to fly off in the Gundam, leaving the ship to embark on his new adventure.

Sometimes you want players to build up their relationships 'on the table' rather than having elaborate backstories.
When running the old Pathfinder Adventure Paths, especially Age of Worms, I generally preferred the PCs to be COMPLETELY new to the setting i.e. They're just novices with no ties to anyone important. Anything like that should develop organically.

But isn't that the point though

>>
>>98012145
No. The players decide what's relevant to them.
>>
>>98012240
The DM's the one running the game, though. It's like, it's fine if you want to find another game, but I think it makes more sense if the party doesn't have any backstory that complicates matters.
I've always felt that "This current adventure is the most important thing in the lives of the PCs", nothing before that is as interesting or as relevant as the campaign unfolding right now.
>>
>>98004741
Just make them beautiful as that what matters most

I had a race of elves known as royal elves in a older setting of mine who were pretty much the gooncore race and they actively encourage such behavior for a rather depressing reason, it somewhere in my old notes but I can remember some of it by memory

The Royal elves or Children of the Sun as they call themselves, were described as tall and beautiful race who that live within majestic marble cities, viewing all the other races with arrogance and disgust as royal elves were known for their intelligence, their arts and culture were advance and their arcane was unmatched. It was said due to their massive ego and arrogance that they constantly refuse to help the other races in times of need for why should they help the shorter lived races? but it was due to this that it was said their very own gods punished them by causing great devastation upon their homeland, plagues and invasions from outsiders, gnolls and orcs being the most common had decimated their numbers to a near extinction but they fought back the invaders and found themselves low in number, so low that any offspring among themselves would be inbred within a few generations

no other choice the last members of their ruling council made a rather desperate edict, to reproduce with non-royal elves, humans mostly being the most suitable candidate, I took a idea from the elder scrolls where interspecies offspring be the mother race so naturally this edict was for second and third born female elves, first born had to marry a another male elf and male elves were outlaw from marrying and reproducing with a non-elf (although there was a loophole by classing them as a "slave" though) and so female elves went out to find anyone suitable they could find by any means

In recent times of the setting this was over as their race has return to more stable numbers but it still remains in memory and a few rather dirty jokes about female elves and sex pests

I know, FFG's star wars was how I first learned about genesys. The proprietary dice and incredibly segmented presentation of the rules (want to look up alien race X and class Y? Better break out book A and B in addition to the main rulebook) makes it more difficult to play than I suspect it actually is if you have the information and tools you need collected and accessible. Can be done and I've seen some good spreadsheets, I just haven't done it yet

Good gameplay can carry without story. It won't be deep, but it can be a simple fun, where ultimately the "story" is the highs and lows and twists and turns and narrow scrapes of the player(s) experience playing the game.
Good story does not fix bad gameplay. Ever. Literally impossible.
Same for good aesthetic, no amount of tone setting and immersion let's people overlook bad gameplay for at most a couple weeks of fooling themselves.

To extend Carmack's metaphor, a porn that's well-written, well-orchestrated, and presented cinematically beautiful, but is zero percent sexy and titillating is... Not porn. That's an Oscar-winning big-budget art house piece, and while I know we're on 4chan god I HOPE you're not gooning to Schindler's List.
>>
>>98004199
> Gooncore
Please die
>>
>>98023321
NOW that said, I will say there's something Carmack is missing in his insightful analysis, which is that BAD story or music or art or whatever can ruin good gameplay/porn, if it makes the gameplay/sexy unintelligible, is to noxious to let the audience enjoy what they like, or directly conflicts.

If you take a nude woman in the throes of penetrative passion and then slam so much psychedelic image processing over the top that the subject matter is unrecognizable, it's no longer functional as porn.

If you play incredibly distracting and annoying music over the top, or make the story theme of a non-con fetish film incessant preaching about how the viewer is an awful horrible person who deserves to die for wanting to watch it, obviously it would be very hard to enjoy that too. These are matters of taste, so there will be exceptions, there's no accounting for freaks. But safe to say most of the intended audience will be turned away.

And if the thing to be enjoyed is the cruel ministrations of a sadistic dominatrix, but while she's going through all the motions technically correctly the character is incredibly meek and mousy, totally unbelievable and lacking the fundamental bullying spirit the erotic fantasy requires, no amount of riding crop ball busting is going to sell it when she's squeaking and flinching with every fleshy crack. Maybe somebody into gap moe might like it, kind of like how Sonic 06 is a buggy horrible failure of a game where you never "go fast" UNLESS you're an any% speedrunner. But it's certainly not delivering on the intended experience. It's just sometimes when you fuck up something hard enough in just the right way it makes something new and good, that's Hegelian dialectics in action.

There's plenty of games with mediocre gameplay that are remembered for their good story or presentation (Case in point: just about every CRPG: nobody's remembering games pile Baldur's Gate or Planescape Torment for their gameplay, but for the characters and story), but there's a big difference between a game where the actual gameplay aspect is nothing to write home about but gets the job done while you enjoy the story or visuals, and one where the gameplay is genuinely bad. In the latter case even if you are enjoying the parts of the game that don't actually involve playing it, the whole experience gets dragged down by the frustrating parts in between those segments.

The actual answer is green
>GREEN = SPACE BABE
And they look best in light pink and pale violet anyway
>>
>>98023689
>>98023776
Some professional nitpicking:
Intense-color body paint is the easiest to do. Doesn't matter the color, if it's well-defined, then it's very easy to make sure it properly covers the body and natural skin color.
Green is most often used, because the pigment mixes really well with various foundations in low proportions, while offers good covering and even when it smudges, it still maintains proper covering.
Which is why green space babes were always a thing - it's the easiest and most effective make-up. Technically yellow is better, but it is not as good in the whole "this is an alien" and if you do it poorly, once it starts to smudge, you only notice when it's too fucking late and the whole shot has to be repeated.
>>
>>98023658
Not just the fuckable space, goblins migrated to downright slutty.

It makes lore sense, anything with a life expectancy like that needs to literally breed like rabbits to keep their numbers up. And unlike kobolds they're mammals, it's not a "lay a clutch of like 12 eggs then have the entire warren fertilize it" situation, they probably have litters but they still have to have penetrative sex.

Everybody draws drow far too tall. D&D elves are short to start with, and drow are one of the shorter subraces. By the numbers given in 2e, it is outright impossible for a male drow to be taller than a female human.
The cure to the drow menace is to pick them up and take them away. If your fighter has exceptional strength they might not even become encumbered to any degree.

No one cares about your """facts""", faggot nerd. Dom girls should be tall because it's impossible to take short people seriously, so Drow are tall. All human male PCs are at least 6 feet tall, and to dominate them the Drow lady must be taller than that. Therefore Drow are at least 6'1" before heels. QED

Counterpoint: The sheer comedy value of an extremely misandristic, sadistic sexy dark elf woman in spidersilk fetishwear and high heels who's still only 5'1 and 90lbs is hilarious.

Yes, they can brutally torture and beat down the males into servitude because they're even more short, but the fancy black fetish whip doesn't work so well on the party of 6'5 muscular fighters, barbarians and people who're used to being brutally maimed by a high CR monster every thursday.

It's their hair. Or, "hair" I should say. Not only is short hair simply not attractive on women, Asari have weird skin-covered bone things pretending to be hair. They also have to manually add eyebrows with makeup or tattoos and don't have ears, I accept the logic of the "too many aliens look human" argument but when you deviate too far but try to present them as attractive anyway, it just turns out weird and off-putting.

>>98041397
No fan art of Tau, looks like Tau. It's always altered specifically to be attractive, so calling them goonerbait is simply wrong. Asari are not only presented as attractive to the audience, the setting treats them as such, desired by all species.
>>98042404
It also covers or obfuscates their ear cones, but the fact their non-hair isn't rigid, they have eyebrows and there's at least SOME structure where ears should be, they're less off-putting than Asari by a longshot, and while they are the sexy slave girl aliens they're not presented in-setting as somehow attractive to every species.

Forgotten Realms on multiple occasions lists elves as the same height as humans, and has several references to drow women being tall.
Qilue is outright stated to look like a typical Drow matron and she's 6'0".
Drizzt's mom is described as a womanlet who gets thrown around by her gigachad partners and she's like 5'2".
It wasn't until 3e forced the Greyhawk heights onto every setting that it got stupid.
The fact 5e also went with the Greyhawk heights is frankly stupid given they also wanted FR to be the default setting.

>Do women see elf men as desirable as men see elf women
You missed the period where every teenage and young adult girl was talking about the male elf from BG3.
In short: yes.
In long: Always have. Even 40k used to have references about women throwing themselves at Eldar pirates because they recognized that.

>2e has variable elf heights based on setting.
But by default the game uses the Greyhawk heights, as seen in the Complete Book of Elves (and in the PHB for High Elves). The setting-based overrides only matter if you're using a specific setting.
>>
>>98042713
Which is why I added the point of 5e fucking it up by saying FR is the new standard but using the Greyhawk heights.
Though I should clarify, 3e actually kept tall elves for FR (FRCS and Races of Faerun both mention this) though did make Drow shorter for some reason despite that not being the case before (a particular manlet not withstanding). 3.5e was when FR elves were shrunk (PGtF).

Matron Malice is either at or just under 5 feet tall. Drizzt thinks to himself at one point that he overtops her by several inches, and he's about 5'4". For it to be "several" he'd have to be somewhere between 4-7 inches taller than she is I'd guess, or it'd be "a couple of inches" if she was taller. Drizzt's sister Briza is described as unduly large and powerful for a drow (and drow women are already larger than the men), and Briza is still significantly shorter than 6'.

I don't recall anything in the Drizzt trilogy implying that Malice is particularly short for a drow, though she is about 5' tall.
There is another matron mother, Matron Hu'nett, who is described as short even by drow standards, and she's 4 feet tall. Which goes beyond being a womanlet straight into "who is this sassy lost child?" territory.

She's mentioned as "tiny Malice" among other matron mothers. Malice made a deal in one book, set in the past, with House Del'Armgo, from them she got Briza by letting Uthegental (the 6'5"+ magically modified gigadrow) fuck her. When other drow matrons find out about it, they spend several paragraphs laughing their asses off about "tiny Malice" getting split in half by Uthegental because she'd barely reach his stomach.

Salvatore was probably indulging a kink.

Yeah, Taus' original thing was being the mil-scifi faction, with "realistic" future tech, as opposed to the Imperium's walking battle-cathedrals or Eldars' weeaboo space-magic. They were all about drones, aircraft, practical-looking (by 40k standards) hovertanks, and and relatively small battlesuits that gave individual soldiers heavy firepower and maneuverability.
Eldar were the original weeb faction, with guns that literally shoot shurikens, katana-shaped power swords, and titans and look and move like anime mechs.

I haven't red the prequels, but the original Dark Elf Trilogy (Homeland, Exile, and Sojourn) is fine by genre fiction standards. The first book in particular gives a pretty in-depth look at drow society, and it's actually fairly functional compared to some later depictions. They're still evil and prone to scheming and infighting between different houses, but they do have rules in place to keep the whole thing from collapsing into a free-for-all, and their society isn't nearly as ridiculously lethal as in some depictions. When Drizzt enrolls into the drow fighter academy, I fully expected it be a meat-grinder where most students are killed off over the course of the training and the handful of survivors are made to fight each other to death in order to graduate or something, but it was nowhere near that lethal. The implication is that the instructors tacitly approve students assassinating each other, but only if there's plausible deniability or no evidence linking them to it. And even than it doesn't happen very often: during Drizzt's entire tenure in the academy (which IIRC was around 10 years), of his class of 20 students one was executed after trying and failing to kill another student, one was stabbed to death in his sleep without any witnesses, and another died during sparring (the book doesn't specify whether it was an accident or intentional, but it seems the instructors at least judged it plausible enough to have been accidental). A fourth died fighting monsters in the later part of their training where the students took part in patrols in the Underdark outside the city. 20 % fatality rate over 10 years would be very high by the standards of any real military academy, but some other sources make drow kindergarten more lethal than that.

It's about drow so there's a lot of leather-clad women with whips who are very keen on using them, but it's not really described in enough detail for it to really feel very erotic. There's a point at Drittz's graduation when there's an orgy and he almost gets molested by a Matron, and then by his sister. The 2nd book has Malice very clearly getting turned on by being mind-linked to the reanimated corpse of her former lover while it kills stuff.
Malice being 5 foot tall is really only implied by her being mentioned to be a head shorter than a 6 foot tall mindflayer another Matron has as an advisor, and the really tiny drow Matron is only a minor character in the first book, and has a brief appearance in the 2nd where she does at least get to channel her inner smug loli at Malice (Malice stabs her to death later, though).
Though if you get off imagining small dommy mommies intimidating and whipping people, then the fist two books will probably do well. I know I found it hot that there's two instances of heavily pregnant drow near the beginning of the book (Malice obviously, since the book opens with Drizzt's birth, but when she later foes meet Matron Baenra, the head of the most powerful drow house, she's also revealed to be heavily pregnant, and is specifically noted as having way more children than most drow).

Some of my settings has nothing but goonbait species because it's for ERP so everyone is goonbait and others don't because they're a bout a big space war and the only species I have bothered with are humans, the aliens they fight and nebulous third parties that you don't meet but whose politics dictate who gets sold weapons and who gets held responsible for trying to glass the other guy's homeworld.

>>98004199
A bit, but mainly for my own enjoyment (as setting dressing, never to display for my players).

Because no matter how many years I have on this hobby (and how many characters of any gender and colour possible): role-playing flirting or romance with my fellow nerd friend will always feel awkward as hell. So, better to leave everything as PG-13 as possible (except for drama, violence and horror, of course).

How did you guys go this far without mentioning chad'zak

>A notable difference between drow and their topside cousins lies in their fertility rate. Most elves have very low fertility rates, in keeping with their long lifespans. Drow mothers, in contrast, give birth as often as the more fertile races, such as humans and orcs. Their greater fertility reflects the crushing mortality rate among drow infants and youngsters. Drow females might give birth to ten times the number of babies than the females from other elven subraces do, but this does not mean that they end up with more adult children.

>It is common for pregnant drow to carry twins or even triplets. Even in these cases, multiple births are rare, as the strongest of the fetuses feeds on its siblings in the womb. Pregnant drow can sometimes feel these mortal combats take place in their bellies. Such prenatal battles produce in their mothers a euphoric sensation, referred to in the Undercommon tongue as chad-zak. The feeling is infinitely stronger than that produced in the bedchamber or by any intoxicant. Without it, it is doubtful that drow women, selfish to the core, would ever deign to suffer the inconveniences of reproduction.

>Chad-zak occurs up to four times per multiple pregnancy. It usually happens early in the third trimester. Mothers who experience repeated chad-zaks usually feel them in quick succession, once every one or two days. The final chad-zak indicates one fetus's successful slaying of its rivals. This process does not result in stillbirths; the slain are absorbed back into the mother's body.

I've heard it was actually because he learned a bit about shark reproduction which inspired the twins/triplets killing each other in the womb bit. I don't know where the infanticide orgasm stuff came from but I wouldn't be surprised if was inspired by a meme about abortions giving women orgasms.

It's implied by a questline in the Old Republic MMO that most near-human races, including Twi'lek, were created as slave-races by the ancient Rakaata (ancient evil Dark Side using aliens) by genetically modifying humans near the end of their reign. Though the Dawn of the Jedi comicbooks contradict that, since they take place earlier in the timeline and already have Twi'lek around.

>>98051266
Ryloth is a tidally locked planet with a narrow barely habitable zone around the terminator, so it's a rough place to live. The native Twi'lek are split into clans that frequently fight each other for resources and take captured members of enemy clans as slaves. When they noticed that other species find Twi'lek women attractive, off-world slave trade become the planet's major source of income, at least until it was surpassed by drug dealing. Twi'lek society is very patriarchal, so even before they started selling their women to offworlders they were basically considered property of their clan even when not actual slaves.

This but I take it further. I also narrate everything the PCs do from the getgo. If I ask for rolls I roll for them. If I ask what they do I give them specific options and tell them which ones are allowed for the scenario at hand. Pregens are used always, and I make sure each player plays a specific one (I give them a choice but I lie and say that one was already picked so they end up exactly with what I want)
As the session goes on I even start speaking for the players and telling them what their characters say. Then I start speaking for the players themselves and narrating everything they say and do out of character.
Inevitably the players will leave but I keep going, I keep running the session narrating it like they're still there. Then when it ends I put up my gamefinder post and do it all again next week with a fresh group.
I play online with no webcams so they can't see my giant boner during it all.
