>spend multiple days a week preparing for the campaign
>nothing big or railroady, just a few missions they, as members of a mercenary squad of sorts, can fulfill at their leisure
>no major overarching plot but multiple organizations and individuals working to fulfill their own goals
>players love the idea and express massive interest every week
>players create numbers on a sheet with no backstory or personality and get flustered when they don't receive development
>players ignore every piece of character development they experience and revert back to a blank slate every session
>players ignore or simply miss extremely obvious character development moments
>have only asked for a paragraph at most in terms of backstory (just something enough to work with really)
>players either boast about their miniscule development they actually remembered or are just blatantly minmax and actively try to hurry through RP just to be able to hit something
>even after implementing exactly what they ask for my players just don't care about anything, just hitting and shooting things and getting money
I'm not asking for extreme dedication or anything but shit, after doing so much of the work you directly asked me to on the setting like you asked me to make at least fucking pretend to care. It's fucking heartbreaking. Every week I try to give you people my best but you just don't fucking care
I'm gonna get drunk. Sorry to bother you /tg/

I've met up with the others since, and there's thankfully an agreement to pretend it never happened outside of gags about him.I understand your pain OP, but I'd take apathy over perversion and an invasion of my privacy any day.
