How do you go about portraying a character that's meant to be 'sexy', either a DM or a player? I find having the character be overtly flirtatious is a boring/overplayed way of doing it.

Note: they don't necessarily have to be female.

>>
>>53404985
You give a description of the characters physique, or does as this guy says >>53405029 and give your players a picture. I mean, there is no sexy stat most of the time, so you really have to tell them. Ultimately you have to give them a reason why that person is sexy, someone that doesn't like cowtits might not be impressed by that character, though he should understand why others are.
>>
>>53404985
I roll two more dice on social checks and I know it. Maybe, sometimes mention things my character does to keep good looks. "Sexy" is just mostly beneficial part of character's appearance, don't pay too much attention to it.

There are VAST arrays of subjects that it is both wise and useful to ask /tg/ about.
These subjects include, but are not limited to, spider storage, celestial physics, alternative history geopolitics, cryptozoological taxidermy, and anything remotely or tangentially related to traditional games.
"How to Be Sexy" has NEVER been one such subject.

Sexy is either a separate advantage (disadvantage if you play a game about prison) or one of ways to describe your high CHA.

Maybe because sexy people aren't overtly flirtatious IRL.
They're beautiful and confident, at the same time they're welcoming and unattainable. Find a way to convey this and you won't have to futilely describe a character as "sexy" ever more, they will just be.

And describe their actions as forward

>"He notices your gaze and flexes his muscles"

If they aren't physicially or traditionally sexy make them flirtatious, so the player knows.

If the "flirtee" doesn't express interest don't keep making the flirt wag their tiddies at them, at some point (sooner or later) the character would realize they aren't getting anywhere and likely move on to easier conquest.

Corsets still minimize the waist and make the hips flare in comparison, which is the point anyway.
>>
>>53404985
I describe her/him in prose and focus on commonly accepted beauty details. Muscles, slim, immaculate skin, good smell, pearlwhite teeth with an indecent grin.

You don't have to show any pictues. And you don't have to describe the character/NPC as "sexy" at all. Just do the physical features and let the rest of the idea play in the head of the players.
>>
>>53404985
To be honest?
Just know what your players are into. If they like shy girls, a girl being shy is going to be the sexiest thing ever, and you barely even have to try.

Sexiness is highly subjective. You can be better at roleplaying than an Oscar-winning actress is at acting, and do a flawless sultry succubus act, only to it be seen in the eyes of another person as "oh so this npc is a whore trying too hard to get clients? kek"

In almost all cases, I believe it is safe once her eyes have been removed.
(No small feat to do cleanly.)
However, the snake eyes should also be removed, not for safety concern, but aesthetic display purposes.

>>53407020
>On that note, serious inquiry, would giving your gorgon waifu cybernetic replacement eyes bypass her flaw?
If you regard it a flaw, certainly.
Alternatively, consider permanent cybernetic eye-shielding.
The more truly lovely and life-like coverings, while more expensive, can also prevent harmful gazing and yet allow a aperture to utilize her natural defenses when appropriate, with only a 3% risk of accidental petrification.

Nah, you have to replace the whole head. She's THAT ugly.

Something they didn't elaborate on in the old stories is that the "turning to stone" thing is actually a defense mechanism. The body turns itself to stone because it's much preferable to contemplating gorgon-face.

It might take you a little longer to turn to stone from just looking at, say, a gorgon nose or ear. But it will still happen.

They're supposed to be desexualized. What matters is the overall aesthetics of the body, and the belief was that by de-emphasizing the genitals, their sexuality is de-emphasized (this is also related to the BBC meme: slavers made it up to make their slaves appear more bestial, more uncivilized, more inhuman and more lustdriven).

The problem is that we live in such an oversexualized culture we'd end up commenting on their dicks anyway, big or small.

We have overthrown every taboo that there is to be overthrown. The only taboo left is the concept of taboo.
>>
>>53410144
You are confusing what taboo means. We are obsessed with sex, but we don't ever talk about it in any meaningful way.

Fucking hilarious. One, no, they're not functioning democracies. They're warzones ruled by drug cartels. Two, they have no respect for anything other than getting their next handout.

It varies by state and in some cases by school district, and in many cases parents can (and do) opt their children out of sex ed.

>abstinence is the only 100% effective way to prevent pregnancy and STDs, but here are your options
My sex ed in school consisted of a slide of anatomy and then an hour of looking at photos of oozing nasty STIs.

But even if it were more of the modern style, it still only focuses on the negatives. Sex is a part of human life for most adults, though maybe less often the case for people on /tg/. We should be able to talk about more than just the risks.

It's Math!

>>53410789
Actual reason traces to the historical origins of the country. Each of the original US states was originally its own colony, with its own government and only a tenuous connection to homeland in Europe. Over the centuries between the start of colonization and the revolution, they evolved into entities that were basically their own countries. Post-revolt, they ceded powers to the federal government only very reluctantly. The core structure of american gov is that the federal government has just enough power to do its job, and everything that's not explicitly listed as a federal power defaults to the states.

Hippies waste far more money on "organic" bullshit and gibmedats than even the worst conservatives. Unlike hippies, Conservatives actually work.

>>53410910
Sure, but if you take that point of view then liberal always means "things changing" and conservative always means "things staying the same"... which basically means the Anon is asking us to name something from the future which changed something in the past.

It's literally a circular definition. Anything that DID help build western civilization is conservative, anything that WILL help build it is liberal (or if you're ConservAnon, will help "destroy" it, presumably).
>>
The entire concept of sexy depends entirely who's at the table.

But we can all agree that the barmaid wearing a shirt that shows off a bit too much chest is considered sexy, right?

Hence it's really how the character is portrayed more than anything else.
>>
>>53411033
>No, that's [insert ideology I don't like]. You are getting carried away. Please don't ask such loaded questions.

It was loaded but that's because it's frustrating to have 'Hey, that thing that is literally the definition of liberal by the founder of the concept of liberal? Yeah, it's not REALLY liberal'. It's like fighting the no-true-scotsman argument.

I believe general rule of thumb is that descriptions are sexy.

The more small (appealing) details you add to a character (both physically and personality wise) the sexier they come off.

>>
What kind of sexy?
>Visually
Literally nothing wrong with describing a character's appearance with words like "Alluring", or "seductive", to denote physical beauty of the "If you're attracted to this sex you probably want to fuck it" variety. For a male character you'd probably want to use the words "Handsome" and whatnot instead.
>Intently
Usually a character who's intently trying to be sexy will be wearing something alluring that you can describe. A character could be very forward and flirtatious, but you called that boring and overplayed. Besides that being overly friendly works but hey maybe that's too close to being overly flirtatious like you said.
>>
>>53411257
maybe she doesn't want to hurt them

With such thin ropes it would be hard to restrain someone of that size anyway. The strands of her hair would be more durable than their ropes.

Had they used steel cables or something it would be a different story
>>
>>53411294

It is a little overused. Usually I like to present a character with simple detail but further interactions yield more small actions to increase the charm of the character. you don't have to use such words as it can come off as flowery.

At that giant's size, falling forward onto her face was probably crippling or worse--same reason that progressively larger creatures are progressively more injured from falls. She's not blowing air out of her nose because her lungs have been punctured by her broken ribs.

Actually, I'm having a similar issue in a few games.

Not trying to magical realm my characters, most are attractive women, but not interested in the sexual escapades as much. Not adverse to the character gaining a love interest, but all the same.

But across two groups now, I see people who play in the party, super slutty characters (Sorceresses powered by the power of their curves & Genetalia in one, I am only slightly embellishing that, and then a pirate who just says "we should fuck" and my character blows him off). And in both, I start getting a holy virgin vibe.

I'd like to think I'm just being realistic, but when it comes to a test of qualities and one was Beauty, and they chose the half orc barbarian before mine, I got kinda miffed. I figure the problem could very well lie with me, and maybe a play of my delivery. But I find it hard to believe I have to roleplay that I'm lowering my blouse as I speak in order to be seen as anything other than half orc level.
>>
>>53413430
You don't need to do slutty things to help get across that your character is attractive. Aside from your description of her you should also be able to convey it through her attitude and speech patterns. You could base her speech patterns on famous femme fatales or just have her act as if she assumes everyone she meets is attracted to her, for example.

A big part of GMing is agreeing on expectations with your group.
This can mean listening to expectations, but mostly involves /creating/ them.

This is how you agree on what genre to run your campaign in, how you know what to change if a player is unhappy, and how you know what your group is looking forward to.
But part of creating expectations is a social contract.

Your group agrees to follow the plot, because they asked for a story.
Your group agrees to delve the dungeon, because they ask for a dungeon crawler.
Your group agrees to try feeling scared, because they asked for horror.


If your group breaks the contract, you pause the game and say,
"I don't have material for that. If you don't want to get back on task. I can wing something new. But it might suck."
and after the session you have a long chat to establish expectations. This is one of the parts where you mostly listen.

But, within the social contract, you have a degree of control over how the characters act.
A lot of GM tips say, "don't tell a player how their character feels." That's bullshit.

If a player asks for horror, you should tell them "your dude thinks this is scary."
If a player asks for dungeon crawling, you should tell them "invent a reason for you dude to want to plumb the murder-hole."
If a player asks for plot, you should tell them "this is a plot relevant NPC, form an attachment."
>How do you go about portraying a character that's meant to be 'sexy', either a DM or a player?
Describe the NPC as attractive or sensual when you introduce them. Then move on.
If the NPC matters to the plot (and if the plot matters to the game) you can suggest romance (or lust) when saying that the NPC matters.

Not the same anon, but being a historyfag, I can say that Europe had more development under Autocratic monarchs like Louis XIV, the Hohenzollerns, and Peter the Great.

The USA is actually the exception to the rule than not.

I think the real answer to Europe developing as well as it did comes from
1) Patronage of Arts and Sciences from Nobility and Clergy
and
2)State mandated education- which isn't a liberal value in practice, as it was mostly conservative monarchies like Prussia and Austria that first really implemented them.

Public Education is a great tool for monarchies and not so much for classical liberals in that
a/ it provides a monarch with better educated subjects by and large
and
b/it allows said monarch to mostly control what information his subjects can or cannot learn.

To be fair
1. Louis XIV's absolutism came mostly from bypassing the nobility (and even then not to such a massive extent as we like to imagine) rather than some sort of proto-totalitarianism. And to bypass that nobility, he needed an administration of commoners. Louis XIV even revived the institution of the Three Estates, which only stopped being assembled as he died until the French Revolution because the nobles regained a lot of power after he died under the atrocious Louis XV (think about it like this: if the most absolutist king's successors were anything like him, it's very well possible they'd have a de facto parliament. Really makes the lines between the two forms of governance vaguer).

2. Frederick the Great was the textbook example of an Enlightened Despot. Everything about him, from his way of governance to his invitation of Voltaire after his exile from France (under the aforementioned atrocious Louis XV), was liberal. Keep in mind that not all liberals wanted to overthrow the monarchy, Voltaire distrusted the masses, Rousseau acknowledged France was so big it required a king to run everything effectively and the first post-Bastille constitution made the king effectively a hereditary president-for-life.

3. I don't see how the rise of Germany and the rule of the Hohenzollerns is anything but coincidence. Bismarck united a huge power in the middle of Europe during a time where industry in it just happened to flourish. I don't see the personal influence of that dynasty in anything other than starting a world war and diplomacy so shitty it should be used in textbooks to show what NOT to do.

So in the first two we see respectively the first steps towards liberalism (debatably and ironically) and liberalism put into practice.
>>
>>53422691
The great irony of Bismarck as a chieftain of conservative politics, is that he invented the welfare state, recognizing the need to keep the worker loyal through a dole provided by the state, to prevent unrest and potential uprisings.

Essentially a lot of what's called 'leftist' these days have a 'conservative' origin. (I use both terms very generally)

To be fair Bismarck was internally at war with Catholics, Poles and Socialists alike. Introducing the welfare state allowed him to sweep the rug out from under the socialists and pacify its supporters. It was an entirely pragmatic move.

You mention your character wears revealing clothing sometimes and then you forget about except when a persuasion skill test of some sort is required.

Or rather, that is what mature people do when roleplaying instead of furiously masturbating under the table and pretending nobody else can hear it.

Left and Right are pretty damn vague terms at the best of times. Heck, even Liberal and Conservative are most of the time (At least, how they are used in general conversation). At this point all the terms basically just mean 'Person I don't like' with it varying who's saying them.
