As far as RP being essential to monster design, I'd rate a succubus as high threshold in this regard.
She has to lure them in by pretending to be the type of woman a player character would be tempted to engage with.
>RP being essential to monster designRoleplay is already inherent to monster design. The GM isn't any of the monsters he makes decisions for.
>>98903515A good GM would rp monster decisions based on their lore.
>>98903515for some people rp means "talking in character"
>>98903454>RP

Fuck off.
>>98903458In year 12 post-2014 succubi and similar creatures are incredibly nerfed because most players who would engage with a female character instead listen to the Cool Nigger in their head telling them that trying to have their character get laid is corny/creepy/tryhard and that they have no reason to do so because it doesn't mechanically benefit their build. Sincere heterosexual chuunibyos who can also speak in-person don't really exist offline anymore.

>>98903778Well, -I- in his place would keep a respectful distance to everything burning. Being made of hay and all.
>>98903454I'm not sure what the other intended, but she has the posture and mildly bothered expression of someone who had another person cut them in line for their groceries.

>>98906694It's a concept devised by the most avant-garde internet sociologists of generation Z, basically it means that they always unconsciously think the equivalent of "would doing this make me look cringe" before doing anything (and the panopticon of people holding phones significantly lowers the threshold of what qualifies as cringe), and as a result, players of RPGs overwhelmingly reject sincerity in favor of "things that go hard", "aura moments", and appeal-to-tierlist. I am not saying that you need to deliberately walk into traps for the sake of being sincere and not acting like you are in a video game, but between the beginning of this hobby and when D&D 5e was created (although 4e had an extreme obsession with not being seen as uncool, it was less popular than 3.5e before 5e was released), a succubus draining life essence via sex/kissing would genuinely catch prey without having to fight them (because sincere heterosexual players existed), while now the only time that would happen is if the players were deliberately trying to reenact something from critical role or r/dndmemes. If a player genuinely tried to seduce a disguised succubus, not for the reason of creating an epic moment, that would be considered pathetic and "gooner" by the Cool Nigger in every other player's head.In conclusion, one reason why fantasy RPGs are so derivative now is that designers are afraid of being simultaneously weird and sincere, anything weird has to be ironic or weird for the purpose of being indie, and taking logistics or historical accuracy seriously is seen as pathetic and incellish.
>>98903458If the succubi are targeting the PCs you are doing in wrong, they should be targeting NPCs and the players should be the ones needing to notice something doesn't seem right
>>98906790>he thinks 52 times in more than 3 years is a bad spammer
>>98907000That is just postings those specific images. Other images are also part of the spam post cycle.
>>98907003Ah yeah I guess if there's enough of them it could add up to a lotis there some sort of archive of his images so I could keep an eye out to judge the extent of the spam for myself? I don't go to /tg/ much though
>>98906833absolutely retardedbeing too cool to be sincere is a type of teenager every was or knew. You're assuming your experience is unique and trying to find a justification instead of checking if it was different for other people.
>>98906833Bro its not just a matter of being cringe, its a matter that zoomers have been raised to think that any outward display of sexuality outside of circumstances where it pushes a social agenda are gauche at best and rape at worst.The act of hanging with the bros and bonding over your shared enjoyment of a hot girl walking by just between yourselves is seen as sleezeball behavior.
>>98907092I still remember the news about a cop having to explain to gen Z pedohunters that someone old looking lieing about their age doesn't make people interested in them a pedophile.
>>98903778holy shit it's Christian Bale
>>98907092>The act of hanging with the bros and bonding over your shared enjoyment of a hot girl walking by just between yourselves is seen as sleezeball behavior.This is exactly what I was implying, I just have autism so it sounded weird.
