Is there any way for a fantasy setting to feature LGBT characters without it descending into a /pol/ vs The SJW Boogyman shitshow?

No there isn't, because bringing up something as minor, trivial, and unimportant as sexuality in a game about creating magical worlds and stories is literally the gayest, most stupid magical realm-y thing imaginable.

For T (which is less addressed by the rest of the thread), simply make an offhand mention of there being a well known if slightly expensive potion for that. Because magic can do that a lot more easily than modern methods. Maybe include a few issues with administering it quickly so the party doesn't decide that this is now their favorite method of disguise.
>>
>>50123484
Yes. Don't force it and do it in a way that makes sense within universe. I played a gay character who was from a noble family and frequented certain establishments where it was an open secret that you enjoyed your lover's company but done in a discreet way. He also had to have a wife, but it was clear there was little love there. Just duty. Ended up being one of the best characters I ever played and some great storylines actually came out of it.. But it was never the core of my character.
>>
>>50123484

>>50123528
>>50123541

In a fantasy world where such things are not taboo, it's not a big issue. Although it can certainly influence their romances, should they have them, and that can help shape a character.

In one where it is a big issue, it can be a defining character trait. Same way as playing a discriminated or lionized species or social class can be an influential character trait.

And in a setting where there are bigger issues at stake: >>50123648

Generally it's >>50123634; just a single facet of a whole personality that can lend itself to the character if written well and used appropriately, just like any other facet of a person's whole being.

>>50123685

Also true, the biological binary of Male and Female will always be a component, no one's going to argue that there's an in between of ponos and vagoogoo in a chromosomal sense (at least when it all works as intended), although sexuality is second to that. For those that need to produce an heir, it can be a problem, but not one so binding that it can't be solved by just closing your eyes and thinking of England.

>>50123684

Also true. If this is a fantasy setting (probably high magic), and if we're having these problems solved pretty easily, why would there be any trans people save for very short periods? Technically, trans people don't want to be trans, they just want to be people. Anything that speeds along the conversion from one to the next would be welcomed.

>>50123743

People can have children without getting married anyway.

Wait, are you one of those disgusting deviants who only has straight consensual sex in the missionary for the sole purpose of recreation within the confines of wedlock are you?
>>
>>50123484
Yea, it's not difficult at all. Several of my NPCs are gay or bi or transsexual]. Some are pretty obvious about it, others only came up after the players went snooping into their personal lives, others its never come up.

LGBT characteristics are just characteristics like any others.
>>
>>50123634
You wouldn't know this by the big fucking deal some people seem to make out of it. It just reminds me of people who are obsessed with other things and define their identity entirely by that thing. If you take it away, you end up with a supremely boring individual who has no redeeming qualities.
>>
>>50123634

This is a hard fact that LGBTs continually fail to understand. For them, their sexuality = their entire self-identity. They just don't get it.
>>
Oh great. Here come all the DMs who play exclusively from the Magical Realms Box Set.
>>
>>50123828
And what are they without their sexuality and their gender identity? What are their hobbies? What are their hopes and dreams? Wants and needs? Strip that away, and I bet all that would be left is a horrid, wretched little nothingling.

>>50123828

I don't doubt there's people out there like that. I've met a few. But there's also this big kind of pushback by people who don't think they should be allowed to marry and consider them subhuman, which means they have to push back all the more forcefully.

Polarization within a culture over such issues make those issues stand out because both sides feel the escalating need to make a stand in the face of the other.

When the fact that you work as an engineer or a lawyer isn't really in contention, neither of those facets merits much attention. When whether you fuck men or women is in contention, it's the part that's relevant to the discussion. Saying it's the only facet of a character when it's the only facet being focused on is kind of blatantly missing the context.
>>
>>50123814

It really depends on the person, some people do make a pretty fucking big deal about it, of course, there is always more to a person than that, but they make it the focus on how they present to the world.

I hope you fuckers aren't so boring with your games as to think that sexuality is something that /never comes up and if you try to talk about it you're an SJW beta cuck/ or fucking whatever

like do you have NPCs who talk, communicate and relate to each other or do your poor fucking players just trudge through a series of caves where enemies stand still and attack them?

if your world is going to be immersive or just fucking interesting at all relationships between people should probably fucking come up, and of they do then there's no reason for queer ones not to. why would you want a less sociologically interesting society to set your murderhobos upon?

>>50124022

In a game where characters have [Bonds] it could work, much the same as any compromising secret held between trusted confidants. The only wider-ranging limitation on it is that it affects the individual rather than society at large.

Well, probably also his family and stuff, who might cut their ties with him or lose social standing with other competing houses. Maybe put them in a compromising position and some political intrigue with a wider range of consequences should the secret come out, which could endanger the character's goals.

So here is an example from my setting.

High House Gem, Which Likens Itself to Depravity's patriarch is a gay polygamist. He also happens to a sadistic sociopath. The fact that he is gay doesn't really factory into these, but the entire house has themes of "excess" and "sexual deviancy" and in that culture homosexuality is deviance.

Yes, just don't bring it up unless in a scenario or environment where it would come out naturally rather than with Jolar the Crane, monk of the Order of Balanced Toes, spends most of his day meditating in a closet only to pop out when somebody passes him by to say "Hey, I like dick" and then returns to his meditation.

Yes, don't talk about it on the internet. I've DMed a couple campaigns with gay characters and all that usually came of it was that I shifted the genders of some NPCs. I guess I just had a good group or something.

One that actually used it was a character with an arranged marriage that was using adventuring as an excuse to delay that and fool around a bit. I tried to turn it into a dichotomy of Duty vs Personal Fulfillment and he went with duty for all his little chunks of the story. The last scene of the campaign was at his wedding to the girl, actually.

Sure, run for players who aren't triggered, career-offended reverse hambeasts.

There's always gotta be one minor lord who's "married to his work" or bulldyke warrior lady who hits on the female characters.

Fifth greentext line implies liches are present, that there was a lich plot hook was there clear and present, but selectively ignored.

Of course the poster isn't here to clarify, so we have only the image to work off of. Certainly seems stated enough: clear and present evil forces are working towards a goal that's, in setting, never anything but nefarious.

>Will it not work in practice?

Depends on your friend group. I've got mostly chill people, and am good at vetting problem players. Frankly if it's going to fall apart, the hill it's going to die on isn't that one. It's probably going to die on scheduling conflicts than in-character drama.
>>
Depends on the setting.

It'd be a lot easier to do it in Planescape than in, for example, Greyhawk. Also, gay adventurers feels better to me than gay sedentists.
>>
>>50123484
No, not really.
With gay being an unnatural state, people will pursue a reason for it being. And unlike other bizarre character traits, there are few reasons for making a character gay other than a) you're gay, b) it's a fetish thing, or c) you're a hyper lib-shit.
Even if none of those three explanations are true, they're generally what people will believe even if you tell them otherwise simply because they're the most rational reasons.
That said, have you considered playing with some SJWs? They'd have no problem with you making characters gay, they'd actively encourage it even.
>>
>>50124622

Could be. Could be it was made up and none of it ever happened. We aren't exactly present with the poster to ask for clarification. Of course, we could check the archives and see if someone asked that very question in the thread.

Since, again, the players were surprised and assuming the players weren't absolutely obtuse, I'm more inclined to believe that the self-seeking DM did not offer up any hints at all so that he could drop the bomb on them and feel clever for it, rather than that players ignored hints in a campaign that probably would have gone on for a long time.

Slaanesh is a god of excess. Human homosexuality is perefectly fine by the Imperial as a whole, who wouldn't not give a fuck if it were any sort of issue. There's a lesbian couple in the Cain books iirc and nothing I've heard suggests that anyone really gives a fuck about it.

However like all things thatt the Imperium as a whole doesn't give a fuck about, legality depends on the planet, and laws can be gotten around by being too important or working for someone who is too important to give a fuck what some backwater shithole plant thinks.

>>
>>50124712
Why would the imperium tolerate homosexuality?
They need people to fuck as much as they can to produce more workers and soldiers.
>>
>>50124756

They do that enough on their own already, and those that are gay aren't going to be. The Imperium isn't the Tau where they have mates selected for them for optimal selective breeding. You aren't a space commie, are you, anon? Looking a little blue there, comrade citizen?
>>

It seems to me like they have an overpopulation problem as it is.

At the very least the Hivewords house more people then the Imperium will ever make use of.

>>50124753
Stop being a stupid faggot and trying to equate homosexuality with heterosexuality.

It's more like saying
>My character is a mercenary who enjoys fucking sheep-
>"WOW why are you shoving your character's weird fetishes in our faces?"

Homosexuality is just a fetish that leftists are trying to promote into something else, to the point where they're hoping to use language to disguise what they're talking about. They say love when they mean sex, equality when they're talking about special privileges, and orientation when they're just talking about a fetish.

It's silly to even bother to use their terms.
>>
>>50124753
Probably because heterosexuality is the natural state. Exclusive homosexuality is a biological dead-end and therefore considered unnatural.
And before anyone touts that shitty "but these animals can be gay" arguments, no they are not, some animals are bisexual, like giraffes, but never exclusively gay. If an animal were to be exclusively gay, it would be some kind of defect.
So basically, if you want your character to make sense in the setting, assuming standard fantasy fair, and you still want them to fuck the same sex in the ass because that's your fetish, then make them bi. History is filled with bisexuals, but not homosexuals.
>>
>>50124756
>>50124786
This. Humans fuck at such a massive rate as it is the Imperium doesn't NEED more people.

Also, the Imperium - for all it's zealousness - is pretty much beyond our modern civil issues. Fighting over trivial things like sexuality and skin color pales when there are people who shoot lightning from their eyes and can sprout tentacle arms.
>>
>>50124786

You could always just impress the excess into the guard and ship them off as cannon fodder in some Emperor-forsaken alien battlefield. Maybe they even kill some of mankind's enemies while they're at it?

Which makes me wonder.. The Arbites often have arrest quotas, and those people are often shipped off to penal legions. Could be they fight overpopulation in just that manner, by rounding up the worst of them and sending them off to fight the enemies of mankind.
>>
>>50124786
No, that's you being stupid and not understanding the setting. Policies tend to trump practicality, and discouraging homosexuals is a logical and healthy step that the Imperium would take to the extreme by killing them mercilessly.
>>

The IoM has literal quadrillions of people. People are so worthless that sending millions upon millions to their deaths is completely unremarkable.

What of the "gay uncle" theory? Too many people in a famliy group reproducing in a similar amount of time causes resources and adult attention to be split between all the children, but if some member of the group are less likely to breed by choice, then they can help to contribute more resources and attention to the young of their extended family.

Are you arguing that penal legions don't exist? I mean, that's what the explosive collars are for. If they turn on the commander or refuse to follow orders, they get their heads selectively blown off. If they tamper with their collars, they all go off.The commander dies, they all go off. Imperium thinks this through.

I've kicked out faggots from my group, solely because they were stupid enough to announce to the group that they had a fucked up fetish and then pretended it was a perfectly normal and acceptable thing to do.

I only tolerate that shit if it's unknown and never mentioned.

>>50124889
The gay uncle is actually a great situation from a genetic point of view.
To elaborate, ideally not everyone reproduces, genetic selection cannot occur if everyone does, so the shitty genes get passed on with the good ones. So in a situation with big families that live in multi-generational homes, a gay person can abstain from reproduction, helping genetic selection, while still contributing to the well-being and continued reproduction of his/her family. It's really an ideal situation.
So please don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to say being gay is bad or anything, I'm just saying it's not normal, so it would definitely be a detail that would be scrutinized on a character in a game.

Well naturally, there'd be absolutely no reason for homosexuality to stigmatized with any race or civilization that can reproduce with either sexes.
>>
>>50125015
Do they even have sexes if thats the case?

>>50124999
Fuck oh my god I bet there's some dude's ass being pounded right as we speak oh the horror the moral fabric of society is literally being clawed away.

>>50124994
As with anything, it depends on the setting.

Heavily historical medieval euorpe setting? Being gay is a problem that can more easily annoy everyone else as it can derail plots potentially. High fantasty setting where one of the main dieties covers love and people are more concerned over what species you are than anything else? Nobody gives a fuck.
>>
>>50124918
You lack reading comprehension.
I'm not telling you I dislike gays, I'm telling you why it'll be questioned and considered strange in an rpg group to make a character gay for seemingly no reason.
>>
>>50124987
Oh my! Evil LGBT triggering you in your safe space. How dare they.

>>50125027
If they would it wouldn't mean much.
If a race reproduces like that and still has primary and secondary sex characteristics, they'd be vestigial, like a human's tailbone.
>>
>>50123828
Speaking as a poofta, you can't generalise gays like that. You will definitely find some gay people like that, but you will also find rich people whose entire personality is based on being rich, ethnic people who do the same, people who do the same with their jobs/professions, and so on. >>50123814 is correct. Some people are just bland, and create their identity around one feature of their life, to give themselves some semblance of belonging.
>>
>>50124994

There's also the theory that, if it's genetic, the gene it codes for would increase fertility in the opposite sex it codes for homosexuality for in.

So a woman who carries the gene is going to be very fertile and much more likely to pass off her genes, having fertile daughters and potentially gay sons. Similarly, a very virile man would have virile sons and potentially lesbian daughters. So the gene isn't a dead end, it's genetically advantageous for one gender. I mean, if it was a dead end, wouldn't it have died off naturally? Instead it hangs around because it offers a very lopsided advantage to half its inheritors, and that advantage is that it helps them pass on their genes.
>>
>>50125037
What reasons would be acceptable to you? Do you allow your players to make their character a fighter or a wizard for seemingly no reason.

>>
>>50125036
>love

Stop misusing that word.

Also, you act like there's not a hundred and one reasons people hate and despise gays, ranging from their explosive STD rates to their predilection towards pedophilia and molestation that occurs at more than 30x the rate of the rest of the populace, or the various religious and philisophical examinations that correctly identify it as senselessly hedonistic and as detached from any healthy notion of love, or we can discuss the manner in which they are an economical and societal drain. There's not just one reason they majority of the world still criminalizes homosexuality and doesn't bother to ignore all the unfortunate realities of it.

Unless it's specifically a stupid setting with not even a shred of credibility, you'll find most people hating homosexuals.
>>
>>50125085
Personally, I don't believe being gay is a genetic thing, though there are definitely genes that make you more masculine/feminine that can make you more likely to be gay.
Anyway, if there is a gay gene, it would survive because, historically, very very few people were JUST gay. Even the most flaming of faggots still tried to have kids, and besides, everyone used to be a lot more bisexual that homosexual.
>>
>>50125037
Depends on the rpg group and your realtionship with them and what game you're playing. Obviously rolling up a gay character while playing a tabletop game based off the crusades wile at a pray-the-gay-away bible camp would be a stupid idea but if you're playing with your buds and nobody at the table has any storng beliefs regarding homosexuals, the worst you'd get is people vaguely wonder if you might be gay before ceasing to give a fuck.
>>
>>50125089

I played a humanoid moth wizard who worked as a forensics specialist in a fantasy New York detective noir game. If being gay is somehow weirder than giant magical insects trying to do good in a dark and bitter world, I think you might have need to reexamine some things.
>>
>>50125089
Right, because not considering whether your character choices for flavor would be a biological dead-end or not is the weird thing to do.
>>
>>50125097
Well you certainly represent the majority of rpg-players don't you?
>>
>>50125077
Yes, you really can. Gays aren't passive about their fetish, or they wouldn't be gays.
>>
>>50125144

And you do?
>>
>>50125113
Do the negatives of homosexuality disappear if we don't accept them?
>>
>>50125153
They do if don't accept them being on our planet.
>>
>>50125128
It's weirder, because while one is just something strange, the other is hamfisting a fetish into a game, with a subtext of political soapboxing.

You really need to stop acting like "it's not a big deal," when there's still plenty of people willing to kill you for your ideas, and countless more who simply despise you.

Please read what I'm saying, I'm not telling you this from my point of view.
I've played a lot of games and talked to a lot of people about games, and this comes up more than you'd think, and generally, that's what people thought, and I've been trying to explain why I think that's the case. This has nothing to do with what I would personally think of it.
>>
>>50125148
But nobody is passive about their sexuality, except asexuals I guess. All of my good friends are straight and they talk about their sexual adventures sometimes, whereas I literally never do.

>>
>>50125208
Their "sexuality" doesn't define them because they're normal.

You really need to stop being stupid for a minute.
If a guy has sex with a woman, he's like any other guy.

Also, you're here, talking like a faggot, acting like a faggot, about being a faggot, so I can't really take you for your word that you're not letting your fagness define who you are.

Their sexuality defines them more than mine defines me. They talk about it and reference it way more often than I do.

That's fine and I agree. But what you are doing is defining people by their sexuality, regardless of whether they do it themselves.

Want to hear about the public execution of homosexuals that took place last week? And the week before that? And every week before that since the dawn of time?

Whatever point you were hoping to make is thankfully drowned out by the majority of people around the world recognizing that if you the stupid thing and be compassionate to fags and not kill them immediately, they'll take a mile for every inch of mercy you offered.

Seriously. Look at the fucking question and tell me that the person who wrote it couldn't figure out an answer for themselves.

You are one stupid faggot, because its so easy to bait you out, because you can't recognize a misplaced thread and instead have a pressing need to post in it to reaffirm yourself.

Your friends don't let their sexuality define themselves because heterosexuality is the default. You need to stop trying to equate it with your fetish, your all-consuming fetish that you are still trying to lie and say it hasn't defined your entire world view.

No, there's a fair amount of arguments as to why its right, compiled together from every country from countless scholars. It's literally on the same page as the most intelligent philosophers over the course of the majority of history, up to and including the modern day.

If someone made a gay character I'd probably assume he/she was gay if they're the same sex as their character, or fetish fuel if they're the opposite sex. But that would just be an assumption, it wouldn't really mean anything or actually come up in game. But if you don't want gay wars fought in your campaign, just don't play with people that hate them or people that exalt them, which as far as I'm aware is most people.
>>
>>50125399
It's not sexuality, it's politics.
Keep your shitty fucking politics off this board.
Don't try to argue it's not politics, don't try to argue that your side should get special treatment, and stop acting like this is the first time you idiots have spammed pointless threads just to discuss /lgbt/ on /tg/.

/tg/ should remain apolitical. No one likes /pol/, and what you stupidly don't realize is that /pol/ isn't just people on the right, but idiots from the left like yourself. That's the place for everyone who feels the need to engage in these sort of discussions, unless you're in the mood for a hugbox, which is what /lgbt/ is for. /tg/ will never be a hugbox, so if you really just want to start shit, fuck off over to /pol/.

>>50125471
It's the conclusion you seem intent on making people realize. Killing gays seems to be the only way to keep them from acting like faggots, which is unsurprising as that's the conclusion that most governments throughout history and modernity have been unfortunately come to realize.

It's you idiots trying to pretend you're not hated and despised, and while that's cute while you're in your containment board, it's stupid when you go to other boards and make retarded threads to pretend your fetish is normal and widely accepted.

You are /pol/, but the stupid kind of /pol/ that thinks that your side should get special privileges and be allowed to make retarded threads like this one.

You're a faggot and you want people to stop caring? Stop trying to draw attention to yourself.

Wizards have invented several forms of nigh-permanent tranformation as stepping stones on their path to their final goal of ascending to the form of a dragon/god/little girl.
Tumblr-brand faggots who can't decide on what they are tend to get into debt with wizards, which usually ends in some horrible fate or another.
People who legitimately want to be something else also tend to realize that dealing with wizards is horrible, get their magical treatment, and shut up about it.

>Is there any way for a fantasy setting to feature LGBT characters
Include it, but not "feature" it in the sense of making a big deal out of it.
My philosophy on it is simple. On most story related matters, the character is no different from a straight character, in that they have many things to define them besides their sexuality. On matters of romance or sex are the only story-related parts that have to make any mention of the individuals' sexuality. For transgender, it's a bit trickier, because it's not about who they are attracted to, it's about who they are. in-universe, such a person would likely seek out some magic spell to change their physical appearance to match.

That's because it is, you fucking faggot.

Only flaming faggots like you pull this "let's talk about gays" shit into everything.

>>50126014
I image that would be different because Authoritarian governments had existed openly and were major parts of history, while fairies buggering each other were not. Does that there wasn't the occasional guy who likes to take it up the butt? Sure there was, but he did it behind closed doors like regular people have sex, and it was never more than a foot note in the book of history.

Don't make gayness the sole defining feature of any character.

Say you make a Druid, and provide a one-note descriptor for him.
Introducing him as an "Elf Druid" or "Old Druid" provides a lot more information about the character than just simply "Gay Druid". It also makes much more sense: You can generally tell if somebody is old or an elf just by looking. You're not going to know if they're gay unless they're basically wearing a shirt that says "I LOVE COCKS", and even then it could just be a lame joke shirt with a picture of a rooster on it.

Sexuality is just one facet of a character. While it can provide depth to a character, it shouldn't really be shoved down everyone's throats.
People who shout about their character's gayness are usually: A) Gay themselves, B) Turned on by it, or C) Virtue signalling.

Sure, your Bard with a fun character concept and a nice backstory that provides several cool plot hooks can flirt with some dudes in the tavern and maybe get lucky.
Get the fuck out if the sole remarkable thing about your character's entire existence is that they're a "Gay Bard".

>>
>>50123484
A few nobles maybe but it bearely has any presence in the setting.

My policy on sexuality on a game is that if it becomes relevant than we will use it then, if it doesn't then it's not important.

I pretty much tell all of my players that having your characters being explicit with their sexuality doesn't make them good characters. Because often times that quickly becomes the only facet of their character.

The examples I use are a 7th Sea game where a lesbian relationship occurred between an NPC and one of the PCs, the PC in question had never specified their sexuality, because in a game of swashbuckling combat it didn't seem important, and the conditions to activate the romance where that someone needed to protect her like a knight would, because deep down she was a girl who wanted her fairy tales to be real.

No, Faggots are just acting like giant petulant children who can't live with out attention from others and must constantly scream and whine and bring up their sexuality at any time or place (like the traditional gaming board). I don't hate homosexuals, I just hate you /lgbt/ faggots and i hope you all contract super aids or something and die horribly in pain.
>>
>>50126164
Yes, we would.

Unless they have a telepathic way of automatially knowing who they're talking to, shapeshifter society can only function if everyone has a few favored forms or some way to distinguish themselves from each other. Meaning people would still argue about gender, people being tailfags, etc.

Alternatively you go Great Link shapeshifters from Star Trek, but at that point you're not really playing a character anymore
>>
>>50123484

No. People who would deliberately play that way are either a) gay and wanting to exercise that in in-game interactions (thus making things awkward - there's precious little about sexuality in a dungeon crawl, this introducing it means that the PLAYERS point is "acknowledge that im gay!"), or b) looking to practice an ideology. Either way, the players are the cancer, not the setting, system or characters themselves.
>>
>>50126185
/tg/ shouldn't contain any subjects? Ok.

Lets torp discussion about political power. This includes revolution and rebellion and franchices that revolve around them.

Violence? That's a choice, isn't it? Let's not question nor include it in our games.

What this thread is telling me is that a bunch of people play combat-only campaigns and have precious few social aspects to their campaigns.
>>
>>50126113
Which is a personal immaturity I've had to deal with in the past, but I've since developed a system for stemming that problem.

If the person builds a character backstory based on that idea I ask them more detailed questions of their backstory like: "Who is your rival?" or "How did you end up in the Carrion Company?" which gets them to think of their characters as people separate from themselves.

If they begin to brazenly bring their sexuality into the game to where it becomes a distraction, and I also do this with bards, such as "Hitting on quest givers", "Trying to RP them going to a brothel", "Contunally hitting on PCs who are not interested in RPing that" I pull them aside and let them know that they are being disruptive to the group. If they continue then I will have to kick them out.

>>50126208
You could day the same about any character trait beyond the statline. Which means it doesn't neccessarily come up at any point, but it still helps to make the character more three dimensional.

Unless the DM is a metaphorical faggot and decides to punish the player for RP choices. Like persecution including magical gaydars. Not that different from character having family members for DM to kidnap.

>>50123906

>>
>>50126287
And the thing is that a lot of the time, gay characters are one dimensional. There's nothing whatsoever beyond them being gay.

What are the character's hopes and dreams? How did they get into adventuring? Where do they come from in the setting? What have they been through in the past?
None of that matters, they're just gay as fuck and want the whole world to know about it.

Im a guy and i made a girl character. A player told me before the game that im "so progressive" for playing a female character." later i had to ride on the back of another players gryphon, the dm said that "yeah he can ride bitch"

>Diversity checklist
I dunno man. I have a campaign with more than a dozen NPCs. One is gay because each NPC is assigned a decent number of traits to help distinguish them. Distinct voices, jobs, quirks, interests, races, so on and so forth. There's a mute orphan that paints and wanders the woods, a old widower dwarf with a construct house, a bartender happily married to an elf and seeking weird new species to cook, and the gay mayor unhappily married who spends most of his time keeping secrets about the town or reading shitty romance novels. And so on, and so forth. Just little tidbits for PCs to maybe remember, or not, that makes NPCs distinct. So yeah, diversity helps, even if it's a relatively trivial detail.
>>
>>50126287

You missed my point. It aint the characters, its the players. You could play the most flamboyant bard ever, but if the player is boring, the bard is too.

As I stated, players who play LGBT characters tend to either be awkward or because they seek to practice an ideology. Either way, they are the kryptonite of fun. Fuck that.

It depends on the setting and the players. Two my regulars are fags and it rarely in the six years I've been playing with them has come up. There was one time in a fantasy Victorian London setting where one RPed an Oscar Wilde type character and it felt really natural. It was a taboo, that made thing more difficult for him in certain ways and made it easier for him when it came to doing things like romancing a closeted mortician who was so worried that the player would out him that he let the party in to steal a few corpses.

On the other hand there are people who make their sexuality overbearing and omnipresent, who get annoyed when the setting doesn't bend over backwards to accommodate them. I've only had one such player in a campaign I was in. I had been invited by a friend who was short a player for his Wild West setting and there was this one guy from San Fran that was just about the most annoying ass hat I've ever had the displeasure of playing with.
