If they figure it out, good for them- when they feel comfortable enough they will act on it, and that will make it interesting (especially if they are wrong).

Lewd Dungeon Adventures has been doing pretty well for a while now, Bifford. Not sure how you have missed it. This is the 11th successful project they have done.
People want to get their freak on while playing RPGs. I don't judge, even if it makes me scratch my head in confusion. I mean, roleplaying in the bedroom is, I suspect, a fairly ancient activity, perhaps as old as bedrooms.

I don't like to be disruptive, but I have to protect my trademarks.... 🙄
Gah! Don't sue me!
I'll use "Clint Eastwood looking disgusted on his porch gif" as my metaphor in future.

I'm not saying that you're wrong; I'm saying that there's a lot of value judgement going on in your post.
Some people are power gamers who minmax everything to try and build a stat machine that is overpowered. Some people are roleplayers who want to spend the entire session conversing in character and eschew all action. I don't think that either player's point of view is illegitimate; I just think that maybe they might not fit in certain campaigns and/or with certain groups and that we all have personal preferences. (And, I, for one, would probably not want to play with either player. But that doesn't mean they can't have fun doing what they want to do.)
It depends on what you want out of the character.
For me, I want a character who is interesting and exciting to play; with well defined motivations, characteristics, etc... but he can't be a cliche. There needs to be something about the character that I think is cool. (For whatever that's worth. It's possible someone might disagree with me and say one or more of my characters are lame.)
The other aspect is party integration. The character should be able to fit into the campaign and the direction that it's going in (and/or the GM should adjust things to accommodate what the players are doing.)

Not an RPG, but being sold as an RPG. Is "cyberpunk heartbreaker" a thing?

Quote:
So a “Sourcebook” is a cool term that I borrowed from the TTRPG world, a book in which the creator delves in detail into the world of the game, setting the stage so to speak, so that the player of the game can use his imagination and be part of the world.
