I totally missed that
@WalkerOfSorrow are you planning to have a posting rate of more than 1 post pr day / 7 posts per week? If so I'm backing out, as it is a pace I can't keep up with

Ooh this sounds fun.
If you still have room, I am interested.

Could I also join?Second thing is just the sheer number of players. I don't know how large a group you are comfortable playing in. If 10 is good, then I have no objections.

If you're wanting parties of 3 I'd be willing to put my name in to help flesh out another party

Me too! I just noticed the posting rate change.

Hello! Still recruiting or need a +1? Love to give my city boy a chance in great outdoors!

Can I put you on hold? I'm definitely willing to bring in new people, but I need to integrate what players I have, first. My fourth group should be joining in about 2-3 days, after which I can recruit new players.

I have been looking for something (a game) that is amazing, but for gamers plane, things sure are quiet.
If you get a second group going, feel free to message me! I would love to join

@Basil, yeah it's been picking up a lot of people. The main hangup so far has been people not reading (or understanding) the basic rules I set in place. They get invested, realize there's a rule they "didn't know" and then bail.
@elihaun, I've got like, four groups at the moment. I'm down to have more, but I've been introducing them sequentially to help everyone get acclimated, rather than starting a game with 12 people all at once. Group 1 appeared at noon (in-game), Group 2 that evening, Group 3 in the morning, and Group 4 is soon to appear in the following afternoon. Once Group 4 is in and everyone is comfy, I'll gladly take you and Basil on.

@walkerofsorrow, Sorry to hear, Im sure there are plenty of "rules" that I dont know. Relative 5e newbie. My strategy is to just RP within my strengths try to be clever and not depend too much on this rule or that. Naturally, if I'm a little too far off base, just reign me in. No offence taken.

No offence taken.Additional rules in the spoiler:
[ +- ] Rules here
No Roll20, Discord, etc. will be provided, and this game is intended to be "rolls-lite" where possible, and 'theater of the mind.' For now, I'm fine taking on a lot of players. If it gets to be too many, I'll work something out.
Roll or point-buy stats as you prefer. The game will not be biased in favor of those who have the best stats. If you want me to go "easy" on you, play a Dwarf, Human, or Halfling, and pick the Fighter, Monk, or Rogue classes. These are the ones with the material least likely to provoke my "fun" sense of humor, as they best fit a harsh survival game.
If you really want to play, but have to take a stand on modesty, I am willing to negotiate very limited pieces of covering. No armor, period.
At any time, any player may make the exact comment "I wish for something amazing" or "Things sure are quiet." If you propose a vote for "Amazing," and at least one player seconds that vote, I will drop in something nice to improve quality of life. Guard it well and spend it carefully. If you propose a vote for "Quiet," and at least one player seconds it, I will send something the party's way. It will not be nice, and it will target the people who voted in favor, in priority over the rest of you.
I will exercise judgment on what should be allowed in my game. If a mod disagrees, I will graciously work to fix any problem, if given the opportunity.
The setting and events will be unfriendly to characters, fun for players, and often bleak. Players will be expected to find fitting, in-character ways to improve morale, when they feel it is needed. Just don't annoy everyone by over-doing it.
This game will be violent and will not be pulling punches on that, but the emphasis is on realism, not on gratuity for "realism's" sake or crudeness. Keep any torture abstract and in spoilers (if it occurs). I will not tolerate any attempts to torture player characters in a means beyond the gravity of injuries sustained in combat/by traps. Likewise, if your character demonstrates gleeful enjoyment of torturing NPCs, you will receive less mercy than players who do not do this.
I will be significantly limiting violent descriptions of what happens to juvenile characters, and portrayal of sexual material. Players will NOT be allowed to harm underage characters, nor engage with players in sexual activity in any way. Two consenting players are welcome to declare their characters are getting involved, but we will "fade to black" on that note.
This game is not meant to condone real-world activity involving substance use. However, player characters will be free to drink or ingest whatever they set themselves to, so long as they're willing to accept the consequences. Substance use is not an excuse to grief players.
On that note, I expect conflict between survivors at varying points. Handle it with maturity. That is not a request. If anyone gets the sense you are trolling or being aggressive OOC, I will discuss matters with you in private, and your character will be suspended from play until I give the go-ahead.
