Replace your players with all the people that were BOTH 'cool kids' in high school AND on the Drama club... and you're done.But you might have to pay them 6-8 figures to play in your games...Otherwise... you're never going to really get this one - make a game and setting that plays up the kinds of personalities your players are capable of bringing to the table.After all... I'm sure most of us have seen enough Batman movies to know that the right actor can save a bad plot but the wrong actor cannot handle a dramatic character. And even when you get actors that are good in one kind of role (Ben Afflick), they can look amazingly all wrong in another...'Charisma' is not something you're going to want to try to simulate long term on a constant basis. It's fine for a less than charismatic player to play a charismatic character if he isn't expected to go all Hollywood all session long in every session - and just has to 'fake it' a few times and then make some roles. But if you put him on the stage all the time, it's going to look like 'Batma vs Superman' and you're gong to want to throw Rotten Tomatoes at your own game...</blockquote>
