Introduction Pitch

Participation is Fun. Fun is Mandatory. Not having fun means you're unhappy. Unhappiness is treason. Treason is punishable by termination. See you on Sunday citizen.

Did you get many new recruits for your table with that?
>implying you don't live in Belarus, Best Korea or some other distopian country
>Also implying people don't know about Paranoia, which I suppose you play.

>>52879607
The people it doesn't get can't be convinced to play it no matter how long I try, and that line is enough to get potential candidates curious to ask more. I've got a consistent group of about 5 players with others dropping in and out as life permits.

And people really don't know about Paranoia, despite it being so old. Even a lot of grogs don't know anything more than the name and the meme.

>>52879156
It's a lot like a board game or a video game RPG, but there's a lot more freedom with what you can do and what kind of characters you can make. The goal is to have fun telling a story together, and you don't really need to worry about knowing all the rules or talking too much if you don't want to.

Also, you know Record of Lodoss War? That.

Bewbs of all shapes and sizes and species.

Yeah, that's really a tight filter and you can be sure to have exactly the kind of people you want for your game with that. But I am not really sure that could work in a normal environment, I mean, do you really approach - or say farewell - with that line people who don't know you play and you want at your table?

I don't wanna flame here, I'm genuinely curious. If you can make it work, seriously I'm all ears about what's the secret ingredient.

This is generic-yet-clear enough to work well in a lot of situations. And the final clarification is a very good way to bridge with the listener. Stolen.

I'll eat you out until you cum at least twice

Assuming he likes the setting and the system isn't too rule heavy, IMO you're better off putting forward the roleplay aspect of pen&paper.

It's worked so far. The secret ingredient is the curiosity "this sounds nothing like anything I've played before" aspect. The pitch doesn't work just by itself, but it's enough to make a player ask for more details, and when they learn more they usually want to play more.

It's not even that tight a filter really, most people are more than willing to give it a go. The people who turn it down are generally people who believe roleplaying in general is too nerdy for them, or d&d only grogs who can't comprehend playing any other system.

"Hey normie, wanna drink some beers and pretend to be an elf/jedi/robot?"

I mean, that's gotten me pretty far before. You don't need to have a super involved pitch, you just have to be friends with the person in question.

>>52879156
It's an open ended, sandbox campaign that's run West-Marches style by a slave DM who's been locked in a basement for 25 years, has not been influenced by modern fantasy tropes, and has only been given food or sexual favors when he runs a good game, so he's been conditioned to only run games that the players consider legitimately fun.

Also, the setting is basically Game of Thrones, but written by an old guy who faps to "fantasy realism" and "historical accurateness", but doesn' t know what aSoIaF even is. (But he's lax enough to not sperg out over potatoes.)

>>52885216
Whoah! My bad, I misread the OP. This would definitely confuse the average person.

I thought you meant "convence the average neckbeard on /the/ to play in the campaign I'm currently playing in".

>>52885069
>you just have to be friends with the person in question

Well, if you already have that quality of relation you don't even need a pitch now, do you?
The OP was about persons you don't know THAT well I presume
