Looking for players for a dark fantasy story focused game using the cypher system [GMT friendly times]

[Time: Sunday 9:00AM GMT] Hello, I'm looking for 3 people to join me in a game using the cypher system fantasy rules (if you haven't played it before, it shouldn't take you more than a few dozen minutes to get a hang of, that's what I like about it). The setting is inspired from early dark age Europe, with bits of magic, fey and monsters sprinkled in. I will however try to twist the somewhat light-hearted tone of the cypher system in order to create real danger and problems like disease, death and hunger (both for the party and for the world as a whole)... not in a D&D rule-heavy way, mind you, but using narrative mechanisms like intrusions and the generic nature of challenges and harm in the cypher system. I mentioned the time for the game above, but they can change, for now I want to stick to Sunday 9:00AM GMT, but if the consensus falls on another day after we form the group I'd have no problem with that. Anyway, if this sounds interesting you can find more details about the game here: <a href="http://cerebralab.com:3334" rel="nofollow">http://cerebralab.com:3334</a> Also, I feel like I need to mention that I am really sorry for the tedious process of picking players. But my last game on roll20 resulted in loads of applicants from which I chose using a "first come first server method" and I wasn't even able to get everyone to show up for the first game... I understand that real-life often take priority over being able to play silly dice games online, but I set the time in such a way that would probably not collide with most people's days job or son's football game. The nature of this game means that I need all 3 players in order to play, its not a hap-hazard tile based dungeon crawl and If one person can't make it 1 out of 3~4 games, that means overall we might not even get a game a month. Hopefully having a "barrier to entry" means that people who wish to join will at least have some degree of interest and some investment in the game prior to sending me a message and also that the whole party will, hopefully, hold characters which are more fun and interesting.
George, Hello, I saw you frmo the discord thread.&nbsp; The thing is that is the nature of online games, since the ratio of DMs to players is about 1 to 20, players shotgun approach and apply everywhere, and the first DM that picks them up, gets the player. I have seen this over and over for 5 years or so of being here.&nbsp; You ask for 8 to get 6 and 4 will create characters, 3 will show up to play...until the&nbsp; word gets around you are good, then you are stormed with applicants. What it takes in my experience is building a network of which people will play which games with you as GM. The farther away you get from pathfinder,&nbsp; / 5e the harder it is to find players. But you will always get excuses as to why people did not contact you for two weeks.&nbsp; But.. are ready to play tomorrow. This is why we have the discord server so you can meet people and toss your ideas around, and get people interested who you know as players not as some random name with a PM attacked every few days. Good luck, welcome to the life. - J AKA OSD
Bumping this I have joined your discord server but due to irl issues I am yet to advertise this game here. I've received some interest from people around here, but due to an unforeseeable issue I was unable to attend my normal day to day activities for a few days, so I haven't spoken more with them yet. Hopefully in the following week all will go smoothly for me and I will have the time to get players for this game.
