[LFM] [Savage Worlds] [18+] [Adult Content] [Text Based] A stone aged fantasy setting with lots of hand holding

Hi there! I currently have a group of 2 players ready to go for a Savage Worlds (Adventure Edition) game that I intend to run in the near future.  We had a last minute cancellation of the last member we had, so I am looking for 1 or possibly 2 more players who would be interested in joining. Setting StonePunk Fantasy The game takes place in a prehistoric caveman style tropical world filled with primal forces, larger than life creatures, volcanoes, dinosaurs, catgirls, shamanistic magic, jungles, lots of explosions and partial nudity, tar pits, warring tribes, and all sorts of other weirdness.  It will have a primitive sword and sorcery vibe to it with  its own collection of custom races and spell lists for the various arcane backgrounds.   The main plot and focus of the game is that of a collective tribe of primitive races that have banded together to try to create their own society in defiance to an overwhelming force of lizardmen theocrats that demand their subjugation.  War is brewing and how they prepare for this coming eventuality will decide their fate to come. As Roll20 guidelines do not permit non PG content in LFG posts, a  full detailed write up as to the premise behind the main plot with the setting rules will be available via PDF to peruse for those that show interest in this elevator pitch (~23 pages).  Please see adult content warning in the section below before asking for the full document. Style Balanced Play I like a balanced approach to my games as a starting point, with even amounts of roleplay, combat and exploration.  The game will have some rails in the sense that there is a main story quest that will have a lot of heavy nudging in that direction.  That said if the players want to completely ignore it and go off to do their own thing, that is fine too.  However most of my prep work will be in anticipation of the main story, so if the players decide to wander off and I have to make things up on the fly, then expect the battle maps and such to get a little less detailed and more hand drawn on the spot with the pen tool. (which is perfectly fine for me) I also have a hands off policy with regards to what the player characters do, so obviously the combat or roleplay might end up being lighter or heavier in each session depending on what happens with your decisions during play.  Combat will likely flow fairly quickly once everyone has become familiar with the system, as it is designed from the ground up for fast play in that area.  Most of the players are new to the system (but not tabletop games in general) so there will be a learning curve and some slowdowns at first as we become familiar with it. Very Text Heavy Voice and webcams are not used in this game.  The players so far are used to a paragraph style roleplay format, which can be challenging for people not used to this.  While writing a novella every time it's your turn to speak is not required, it can be somewhat jarring and slow paced for someone not used to this style as the others may end up dropping textwalls on you.  As such this is definitely not going to be a game for the impatient, but should be a lot of fun for those that enjoy a slow (very slow) burn to their stories.  I like keeping the log file relatively clean, so the main chat window will be used only for dice rolls and in character chatter.  Text channels on Discord will be used for out of character chat and game scheduling. High Amount of Adult Content While the theme of the game will still be that of a high adventure style with dungeons and combat used as part of the main quest, there will also likely be heavy and explicitly described adult content interspersed within the game based on character motivations and plot happenings.  The players come from a background of D&D based video games and forum roleplay which were tailored to ERP, so while there will likely be a tendency to drift in that direction during play, I don't know how it will end up in practice as this is the first time I've arranged to have this group play a more traditional tabletop game.  Nude character art may end up being used in some cases for character bio on the sheets or in the above mentioned intro document, but it won't be anything overtly obscene. With this in mind, being respectful of peoples comfort zones is also a high priority for the group.  A conversation will be held with applicants and the other players to find out boundaries and red lights so that way you aren't thrust into a game with scenes that may cause discomfort.  Hard rules are in place to stop play the moment anyone asks to stop for that reason.   But to put it bluntly, there will be a ton of "hand holding" going on, to the point where you'll probably feel like you walked into the movie set of 70s porno complete with all of its attempted plot. Schedule Casual Play Our group is currently divided between -4 GMT (EST) and +1 GMT timezones, which generally allows only for small windows during the week.  If playing on the weekend, it may end up being necessary to wake up early or stay up late depending on your zone in order to find that ideal time where everyone can show up.  Games will be played on a schedule set for those windows once I have enough material prepped for a session (I aim to have something every week, but RL might get in the way of this on occasion.) Once enough of a prep buffer is ready I'll send out a message to all players asking when they would be next available to lock in a hard date and time for that session. Due to the time differences, Saturday or Sunday will usually be the proposed time.  I'll make sure to provide enough advance notice if material or other RL obligations have made it so nothing is happening so that way you won't be stuck without the ability to make your own plans.  Sessions will usually last around 3-4 hours with break times added in as needed. Basically I'm looking for people who are usually flexible with their weekend timings if given enough advance notice.  If those days are usually fully booked for you then it might not work out too well.   Still Interested? While this is highly perverted to a shameless degree, the players in this game are top notch and some of the best I've ever seen with respect to quality of roleplay.  Smuttiness aside, expect the others to be playing very detailed characters that will put their all in to getting involved with the setting. If any of this appeals to you, send me a message or reply here and I'll reach out!  
Member has been found, closing recruitment for now.  Thanks to everyone who has shown interest! I'll post a reply to this thread in the event more people are required. :)
