I’ve formed some of my best, and strongest friendships through online ttrpg play starting as strangers. But not quite randoms, which is an important distinction. I collected hundreds of applications to play, and went through every single one to hand select ones that had good vibes. I even video interviewed them.
Still playing almost ten years later with a few of those, and the ones who don’t still play with me still had multi year campaigns with.
I don’t know, doesn’t seem that nuts to me. I’m a GM and I reckon if I’m going to run games for years for people for free, I had better like them and know a little bit about them.
I wouldn’t say it was a fun task, but I wouldn’t go so far as arduous. I kinda like reading everyone’s answers and, if I’m being quite frank, I’m not above admitting that so many people trying to get into a game I run is a nice feeling.

This seems nuts on paper but bet it finds a lot of people frustrated by the same things.
Was it arduous?
Glad it worked out for you. Good advice.
