Second Lifers?

I don't know the specifics but there are ways to play Cantr on in-world items in SL... at least, it can be displayed as any interactive website, publically... so playing Cantr as-is would be quite possible.
The 'specifics' that I referred to are what objects would be best suited to display Cantr on in SL.
And I've come across several groups that meet in SL to discuss text-rpg's that they play, in one case there's a group which plays out in SL what they do in text on a MUD... but I didn't stick around those nutcases for more than a few minutes, just long enough to get my fancy pixel-perfect 'my other RPG is a Russian anti-tank weapon'-sign from a Camping Chair that they were running.
But, yeah, considering the masses that use SL, only a very, very small part of them would be into something like Cantr.
You'd probably run into more Bloodliners and other "RPG-wanna-be" players than into people who'd be into actual roleplaying like can be done in Cantr.

On the money-making in SL... oy vey, there's a can of worms...
There's a few 'good' ways (like Bletaverse, Earn2Life) but those only pay low ammounts compared to the time invested... there's camping-chairs and such but those can be hard to find... and then there's a buttload of fakers or even downright scams, where in the first case (faker) you don't get anything or not the pile of SL gold that you thought you would... and in the second case (scam) you not only don't get anything, but when you aren't on SL someone else is abusing your avatar - and not in the "fun" way...
Best way is to find a market and make productys for it, and then work to corner that market.
I've been trying to do so with a few things (making my own brand of camping-chairs, MM-boards, lucky-letter boards and such... even making simple scripts and trying to sell those as-is so people can put them in their own objects, and so on) but unfortunately, with that, most markets are already filled to the brim with people working to corner those markets, and more such people are joining by the minute.

This notecard is old, but I still get surveys from them every few months. I generally get $300 to $500 LD per survey, which is plenty for making Cantr charrie avis if you're frugal.

I am not on sl much now, I was for a while but it takes alot of time. when I do go on I am usually making clothing, if you are good enough you can support your sl, I sell my better outfits for 600-800L, I still have a small inworld store and products on the marketplace. It is enough that when I do play I can buy new skins and whatever.
I was part of a really lovely fantasy sim that folded, it was never really the same for me after that.
