Pathfinder 2e - Abomination Vaults as an Adult Version?

Hello everyone!

To start things off, this is an idea running through my mind for some days now but I will make no promises even if this takes off perfectly. I have never done something like this, running any adventure (pre-written or not) in a forum or even any kind of chat. Thus, even if it starts, there will be obstacles. If this is not stopping you, please read on.

We have now 6 people/characters... this will be enough to so I will not accept anyone else for the moment. Since characters might leave for some reason or another, I'll stop no one from adding characters into the character-thread but it could be weeks, months or more until there is need for someone to fill the ranks.

If you really are still with me, let me try to get everything running through my head somehow into this thread.

The System/Rules
Obviously Pathfinder 2e ... I am unaware of any 3rd-party things for a more ... adult feeling to things. I like the system and it is the one I am most familiar with right now but running it rules as written will obviously will be, let's call it, slow. How to handle them will be one of the major obstacles.
If you do not own any of the rules or not all of them, no worries. While it is not as well suited as a book or PDF to work through the rules step by step, they are still completely available online. And that officially supported. The system receives right now an update, happening in steps, called a "Remaster". There is no real issue to jump on the newer set of rules as they are mostly rewordings of things that are existing. The worst that will happen with both sets of rules will be confusion when something is said that was receiving such an update or one of the balance changes I am still not accustomed to.
The Archives of Nethys are THE go-to-source for all the rules. Behind the scenes they are working on updates regarding the above mentioned Remaster. The rules are free by design but if you like the system, it helps to actually buy books/pdf's

The Adventure
"Abomination Vaults" is mostly a dungeon, covering the character levels 1-10 maybe 11. It is a Paizo-adventure and thus comes with body horror, undead, ugly monsters, psychological stuff ... you name it. This will be another obstacle since I want a definitely more sexy thing going on. And a stinky mass of mouths and eyes or undeads simply not scream that kind of adult fun to most people, myself included. There is a village close by filled with normal humanoids so maybe most of this could be limited to there. Not counting what happens between characters of course.
What the Player's Guide not mentions but likely implies is, that classes who rely on a long distance might find themselves at a disadvantage.

Characters, NPC's and the World
Speaking of characters... PF2e offers a lot of ancestries to pick from. There definitely would be a limitation to humanoid ancestries of small and medium sizes. I know of 1 smaller ancestry which has an option they can pick at level 1 to be of small and not tiny size, which is something I would go along with.
Something else which will be important and comes with my personal tastes (which might hurt some peoples feelings) would be the topic of gender. Since I want to have fun as well, I will limit the options here and even make changes to all NPC's if needed. There will only be females and futas (by my definition this includes a penis, vagina and internal testicles). Please remember or think about it. Every NPC where it might be remotely possible to land in bed with them (or wherever one wants to have fun) would be played by me. And playing as or against something that is no fun for me will quickly be a game breaker or constantly fade to black which in turn will be no fun for any of you.
There are 2 character builders know about:
  • Wanderer's Guide is free (but needs a Google or Reddit-account) if you only need a few character-slots and offers all rules including optional rules. Biggest drawback is the limited server infrastructure which makes it a bit slow
  • Pathbuilder is free as well but locks some advanced (optional) rules behind payment
Since I want to use the "Free Archetype" as well as "Automatic Bonus Progression", I think Wanderer's Guide is the better option.

Investigator might not be the best choice, it is more suited in a social environment. Since I am still thinking how to best solve inevitable fighting, the class could be more useful than in a normal AV-game.
The alchemist can be a real boon for everything skills due to the large number of skills from the go... and a perfect translator for almost everything due to high intelligence. I made my DM curse more than once during Age of Ashes when he thought nobody could read something obscure we found.
 
I'll not close any of the threads, even though there are in theory enough characters in the characters thread.
People might change their mind, it happens, or have to leave and having some backup who might still want to join would be good.
 
So what kinks are in play in this game, if you don't mind me asking?
I don't mind someone asking.
It is a topic not discussed and I did not put much thought into that topic.
The main focus is for the beginning the adventure itself, anything smutty or kinky second.

It's likely the players will dictate and/or initiate a lot of that. Once they manage to go down far enough, there will be enemies that might have an interest in capturing the group instead of killing them. Those will likely try, in general, BDSM-stuff on their captives. Hopefully without a lot of success since the adventure would be over at that point... if they succeed in turning everyone in the group into their loyal slaves/pets/toys.
