Trollbabe is a sexy thing and this is obvious. But my players run away from it, both male and female. And i have to say it, i want to bring this sexy thing into play but i have trouble with it also. We have almost never played with such problems (i am not talking about love but about sexiness of characters) not as part of game, rather few colorfull sentences. Now i think it is very good character, setting to play this. Trollbabe asking for it, itself i think. I said about it (one or two sentences) during characer creation and all of them avoid the problem or tried to build not sexy trollbabes. So how to introduce that to the game ?? To be clear, i do not want to make porn or something, i just want to introduce "characters are sexy and npces respond" element to play. I think it can be very colorfull and funny element of play.
Hello,
I think you should play a few adventures and be as honest as you can about the NPCs' emotions in those adventures. That doesn't have to include much sex or sexiness, but it should include love, attraction, jealousy, loyalty, and all those related things. As long as you bring in those elements as honestly as you can, then the players will begin to do so as well. Then the positive effects that you're thinking of will come into play easily and without difficult, boring discussions beforehand.
Best, Ron
One of the best lines I've heard about this topic in roleplaying is just four words:
Romance is the chase.
Horns. It's all about the horns.
