NPC interactions, make sure to FADE TO FUCKING BLACK DURING THE ACTUAL SEX, then have pillow talk be a fantastic way to get plot hooks in. Also remind your players that prostitution doesn't make much cash.

>>43834451
You could always say no.

>>43834501
I did kind of have the thought of introducing some plothooks about troubles in the local temples through pillow talk, but I was kind of afraid that might come off as a bit odd.

>>43834451

A noble sees through their prostitute disguise, hires them out for a party at another noble's estate he wants to pull a heist at.

>>43834554
This. Get them back out of hooking ASAP

>>43834451
Have one or more of them be kidnapped by a serial killer(s) who target prostitutes.

>>43834451
If one of the men prostitutes himself, he finds out that the girl that hired him is actually a succubus (maybe vampire). Using male prostitutes to get an easy liquid meal (pun intended).

>>43835178
Even better, an aristocratic hires all of them as a group to come serve as "entertainment" for a party, and then once everyone is mostly naked, everything goes Dawn till Dusk and they are in a den of vampires.

>>43834501
>Also remind your players that prostitution doesn't make much cash.
Says you. "Protection" costs are what's killing the wage. I actually looked into it when I was desperate for money, in three days of one John a day, I could pay for my rent, most of my bills, and my food for the month.

But not for the psychiatrist.

>>43835202
I do enjoy that thought, may actually have to use it.

Good on you for rolling with the punches, more GMs need to be open to unexpected but reasonable stuff like this.

Depending on how classy the brothel is the players are likely to have run ins with figures in the local government and criminal underground so opportunities for employment in those areas are endless if the John realizes they just spent the night with a seasoned adventurer. Pillow talk is a reliable method of delivering plot points, TV shows and movies use it all the time. Maybe a local lord hires one of the PCs and they discover he's got some very dirty secrets they could either expose for the greater good or use as leverage at some point in the future. If the PCs are crafty they could get into some serious political intrigue or eventually take over the brothel and turn it into the secret HQ for a thief/assassin/spy/whatever guild. The vampire den and succubi ideas some other anons had were good too.

Honestly as far as player bases and ways to introduce plot hooks go, a brothel is a lot more interesting than the typical bar or bounty board.

>>43835298

Having the party's freelance hooking attracting, in order, pimps, corrupt local officials, and the local mob could also be a decent adventure hook. "Okay, I just wanted to suck cock for money, not have to gut pimps, assist an idealistic but world weary guard captain root out the corrupt cops, and battle the local mob."

You could probably do a decent fantasy Red Harvest riff, where they wind up caught in the middle of heavily armed and nasty factions and just blow everything up by sheer force of not giving a fuck who they have to hurt to bring it all down.

>>43835590
>Fantasy Red Harvest
I want that so bad I might just cut the shit and have my next campaign be all prostitute PCs.

>>43834451
>make prostitution jobs interesting, or stories of player characters become prostitutes?
You have three options:
>>43834501: pillow talk plot hooks
>>43834554: end the hooking asap
>>43835202: use hooking as a cheap monster-of-the-week mechanic

Otherwise and/or also, just treat Prostitution as any other profession:
- "How long do you guys practice your profession?"
- *rolling*
- "You make X silver/gilder/snozzberries/whatever. It was a slow/average/profitable night/week/month/year."

Played in a prostitution-oriented game before, eventually the characters ended up in some way or other consigned to an upscale cathouse.

Overall the game was pretty tragic, admittedly.

Either treat it like a profession and railroad them back on track, or roll with it and see how they react to the consequences of their actions. They introduced sex to the setting, now they have to deal with the things that come along with it.Some fun-sized suggestions:

>Give them magical STDs.

>Get their whorehouse taken over by a bigger gang and assigned an asshole pimp.

>Isolate and rape one of them.

>Bring in a minor nobleman client who falls desperately in love with a PC.

>Bring in random encounters with weird-ass clients (eg a necromancer who wants to give their new zombie the time of his life, a preacher who refuses to fuck your PCs, instead moralizing at them)

>Is prostitution legal in your setting? If no, send in the fuzz. If yes, send in the taxmen.

>Make it so the brothel they've taken over is ridiculously in debt. Introduce a loan shark NPC. When they inevitably can't pay, have him point out the clause in the contract they signed where they lose their souls to him upon death/are bound to his service for a fixed period of time/whatever fun consequences you can think of.

Shit, this sounds fun. Wish I was DM'ing so I could mess with them.

The MO for pimps, corrupt officials, and the mob is that you don't get to make any actual profit. That all gets skimmed off as 'protection' money. The party has to get it's hands dirty with the unpleasant work of fighting the people trying to cut themselves in, so it can get back to the wholesome and pleasant world of handjobs in an alley for cash.

>>43835374
Doesn't have to a be a huge plot behind it, just a mundane serial killer who goes after prostitutes.

>>43837797
It's pretty much a cash version of power gaming and the fact that it immediately worked is pretty dumb. It's not a respectable profession in most scenarios, in the ones where it is no respectable establishment of said profession would send them to work on day one. The chances of a job opening existing, the odds of all of them getting work on the first day after the fact is unlikely. Then they'd have all the other prostitutes, some of which may be pretty influential or downright tough, hazing the "new guys" or seeing them as unneeded competition. You have the general ridicule any rivals will be dumping on them from that point onward, the dangers the profession carries unsupported, and the whole rabbit hole they'll be going down if they get caught up in the pimping rings.

So no, the fact that every single one of their characters said "Yeah lets sell ourselves" isn't a normal occurrence, nor is suddenly turning the whole next campaign session into a prostitute theme game because they did it one time for extra cash or info. Hell the characters probably aren't even that good at most forms of sex and will instantly lose all attention the moment word gets around the block that they can't even match up with half the chicks in the cheap part of the red light district.

The party may as well be saying "Lets go play instruments in the town square for handouts" despite none of them knowing at all how to play instruments.

>>43834451
>since they're a part of good looking men and women

OH GEE THIS IS SO NEW AND INTERESTING IT'S NOT LIKE THEY ONLY SAY THAT BECAUSE THEY ARE USING ARTWORK OTHER PEOPLE MADE OF GOOD LOOKING PEOPLE

>i can just make money as a hooker because im pretty right? like, just in between saving the world and stuff

That's when you leave and find a new group, OP.

But then, /tg/ loves to latch on to shitty ideas and spend 300 posts screaming about "shit this sounds fun brb running a game like this now!"

>>43834451

I got a job offer from a brothel IC once. Character used her Intimidate to shout a bunch of people into a bucket chain while a flying beast shat fire onto the town we were in.

The madam from the brothel I'd been staying at pointed out that if the whole wandering knight thing wasn't working out I should seriously consider becoming a professional dominatrix. Given that the campaign fell apart a session or two later, I now have to wonder if that's what Violet ended up doing.

>>43845919
>The party may as well be saying "Lets go play instruments in the town square for handouts" despite none of them knowing at all how to play instruments.

I think you're missing the part where /tg/ would literally tell you that you are a shit DM ruining player's fun for not letting them succeed at entertaining people in the town square despite none of them having musical skill, because that's something wacky and random they think makes a game "fun" so it should automatically succeed and the DM should reward them for thinking of it.

Because /tg/ is fucking terrible at everything.

>>43846011
Oh come off it. When does /tg/ ever use fun as an excuse for anything blatantly retarded that isn't already clearly burning itself to the ground. The worse thing they have is threads getting flooded with /d/eviants spouting "/tg/ is /d/-lite"

Isn't the point of games to have fun?

>>43848995
Some people want their games always serious all the time.

I consider myself lucky that my group considers the occasional joke and silliness as core to making the game fun.

Hell, to this day they still talk about how awesome it was to be infiltrating a demon fortress to stop a fell demon general, and coming across the most vile and evil thing of all...

A room with funky music, a ball hanging from the ceiling that was reflecting light in all directions, and a group of demons in terrible clothes having a party, including a couple of his elite generals. There was also fruit punch made out of fresh squeezed warlocks who failed to make good on their pacts.

Empress Theodora disagrees with your assumption.

Make them act as escorts for various fancy folk looking to impress other fancy folk at some big party. Then have the individual fancy folk start being dicks towards one another and demand their respective PC escort also take their side.

It works better if the fancy folk start trying to play one PC off another "Well, clearly my +1 is better than yours, I mean look at him, such a firm physique, unlike YOUR uhh 'man' friend there."

Your party must be so easy to run for.

What's your overarching plot?

If all else fails, you can go with the classic, some mook from the antagonist organization becomes smitten with a whore and tries to talk about how great his gig is and she (he) should run away with this underling.

>>43834554
>their prostitute disguise
I think it's not a disguise, they're actually gonna turn tricks.
>hires them out for a party at another noble's estate he wants to pull a heist at.
Or hires them out for a party, the PCs decide to turn it into a heist.

>>43837092
None of these are mutually exclusive, aside from ending the hooking. Why not do all of them? Mix it up, and get characters really into the whore experience.

>>43837328

>Isolate and rape one of them.
Going from prostitution to rape is a big jump in magical realm.

The rest is pretty good. Although,
>the brothel they've taken over
They didn't take it over, they got a job there. If they take it over, that would be a couple good adventures in its own right.

>>43845919
I mean, the players are presumably already vagrants that kill things for money. Being prostitutes is a step up, and even if they're starting at the bottom, it's a good idea.

>>43846011
For letting them succeed? No. But you'd be ruining the player's fun if you don't let them try, an d even if they have no skill their enthusiasm should show through at least.

>>43846011
No, you should let them try and make their failure (or if they're lucky, success) amusing

>>43850185
Typical /tg/, happy to support magical realm bullshit right up until actual consequences come into play, then suddenly you're a 'bad DM' and 'going too far'.

These are the same people who tend to argue you're a bad DM if you fudge rolls or actively avoid player death - why should adventuring itself have all its consequences as normal, but nothing else can?

>>43853301
Depends, sometimes it's funny and/or hot

>>43845984
>I now have to wonder if that's what Violet ended up doing.
You know it.

>>43834451
You gotta decide how regulated prositution is in the city. Right now it could be anything from liberal paradise of atomized individuals offering services on the free market to state-controlled social services for state-owned workers.

Likewise, Johns can rage from prostitutes for prostitutes to enforcers that are delegated to a specific quarter by a nationwide crime ring.

Setting's also important - anything from "yeah, there's this smelly sinkhole of a place on the smelly side of town between the gambling house, the tannery and the place where the poor dispose of the bodies of their loved ones" to "The public garden of the temple" is possible.

>>43845919
This here as well. Generally there are only so many customers to be had at any location on any given night, so the locals will be defending their turf fiercely.

>>43850132
>What's your overarching plot?
Cult is collecting elemental artifacts to elevate their beholder master to (demi)god status.
Party successfully intercepted one of the artifacts, and through some previously made connections, they got the cult off of their tail for now. But unfortunately the trail has gone cold on the other artifacts.

They had decided that the hooking was not only a fun way to pass the time, but since they know the cult has connections among some nobles, and the brothel was kind of painted as a nicer place, that they'll be able to acquire some rumors and leads on people within the cult.

Just remember that male prostitutes are mostly hired for gay sex, not by women...

See if your players are still interested...

I'm talking common plants, mate.

Herb, Cassil: Cassil is a small shrub similar to a mustard plant. Its seeds are ground into a fine, tasteless powder that suppresses male fertility. Men who want to avoid fathering children use this herb. A male humanoid who eats about a teaspoon of cassil is rendered infertile for a period of 3d4 days, although it requires about an hour before the herb takes effect.
Stories abound of disloyal courtiers dosing their kings or lords in order to prevent the conception of a royal heir. Using either the Heal skill or Profession (herbalist), the effects can be detected with a DC 15 check and countered with a DC 20 check.

Herb, Nararoot: Nararoot is a black, woody tuber with a licoricelike flavor. Shavings steeped in hot water make a strong tea that renders a woman infertile for 1d4+2 days. Chewed raw, the root tastes unpleasant, but the effects are more potent, lasting 2d4+4 days.
Women who do not wish to become pregnant use nararoot. Using either the Heal skill or Profession (herbalist), the effects can be detected with a DC 15 check and countered with a DC 20 check
