What do, Veeky Forums?

Bail.

Don't. It's not that hard, user. Just don't.

This is a bit of Catch-22 situation.
I would be perfectly willing to pay for some good time, especially since I've got money to burn. But since we're talking money here, I'll only part with them if the DM is good.
But how do I know if the DM is good, if the only way to find out is to play with him, which isn't free?

Is this an in-built r20 feature or is this a hypothetical?

I've never ever seen that before.

Nope.

I can sort of understand why you'd pay for a game. Like if you have a group and you're desperate for a game, but nobody in the group wants to be the GM, I guess you can pool some funds and hire a GM. If they're good at what they do, it might be worth it.

I don't think I'd ever consider paying for a game myself though. And I can imagine that someone playing for money instead of for fun might have a bad impact on the game and the group.

If it's a minor charge to basically say "Yes I'm actually participating and not spamming applications" then I'm cool with it.

>5 euros per hour

I'd like for a free trial first, to see if the DM and the other players are any good.

Any adventure worth paying for would surely have to be god tier.

If he requires payment first, fuck him.

If he allows you to pay after the session, join in and then decide whether or not to pay him.

DM should offer a free first session with character creation, some roleplay, and a brief combat encounter. Then you as players decide if you want to pay him to continue. Problem solved.

>people paying for DnD
Truly the most desperate and retarded people are these.

Turn the filter on and search again.

Actually, I'd probably do this if I ever ran a game on roll20. Not towards the end of making money, I'm not gonna ever presume my ability to GM is a service worthy of compensation. But I'd ask for a dollar or so from everyone, and then send it back at the end.

It's the equivalent of shopping carts where you have to put in a quarter to take it from the rack. It just cuts down on some of the rampant assholery that wastes everybody's time.

Fuck, this got me thinking.
Can I make money by running ERP games for niche fetish enthusiasts and how much?
I mean, I'm pretty okay with writing what basically amounts to smut for strangers on the Internet, but is it lucrative?

Drop it like it's hot. I'm not shelling out cash for what may very well be a shit game or a good game that the GM bails on two sessions in.

Seeing how huge faggots they all are, I say go on and start charging 20 bucks for the game. An extra 100$ per week could be very nice, indeed.

Well shad is still making money of his fetish art that is practically copy paste and change the outfits so alot, even if it's shit.

Any recommendations on what system I should use?
Something rules-lite and receptive to freeform smut roleplay, or the DnD derivatives for their familiarity?

hahaha
no

As rules lite as possible. After all, they do want to just start describing themselves shoving cucumbers up their dickholes and eating shit. Imagine if suddenly they had to roll for poisoning. That's ruining the ""fun"".

When in doubt, go with Risus. Speaking from experience.

Fiasco could work quite well, but another one that comes to mind is Primetime Adventures. The system calls for cards, but I've easily replaced it with d6.

There's really only two options, and I think it depends very much on what kind of players you end up with.
A: Something rules lite to keep the "game" part mostly out of the way.
B: Pathfinder. Not because it's well suited to the concept, or easy to use, but because it's what so many people use for this (And everything else) that not keeping it as an option means alienating a significant amount of potential players.

You either pay for someone to have fun, so why bother? Or you pay for someone who doesn't enjoy playing/GMing, so you're in for a shit game.

I'm curious as to why people keep bringing this up.

Is someone, somewhere, trying to subtly broach the idea of being a paid GM? Because I've seen threads like this cropping up a LOT. And I've always felt that it's a really bad idea - If you make your hobby into your job, you're always working.

Payment is generally a good way to see games not poof into the air because of the expectations which happen when money get involved.

Frankly a lot of players on r20 probably should have to pay in order for people to put up with their shit anyhow.

Ask yourself this honestly. Are you a good player? If you are, you don't need to pay.

Roll20 has an option to pay for games. There is a will. There is a way.

And this faggot's got the right idea. People throw buku bucks at anything they can twink their winkies to. To be able to control the porn they're spanking to would be a royal commodity.

That said, user. Are you mentally prepared to handle that? Is your psyche stable enough to not only witness, but interact with whatever Slaneeshi hellspawn might crawl from the darkened holes of the internet?

> Are you mentally prepared to handle that?
I'm pretty sure I got this.

>Sparrow
Shit taste

>he doesn't keep his porn options open
One must be receptive to all kinds of porn.

Only time this has ever come up is my players buying me CoD books for running for them. And I didn't ask.
