Hello there, and welcome, potential adventurer. Who are we ? Two friends (SKLoyal, Tigurius), and both of us are going to be your DMs in the world of the West Marches. Who are we looking for ? Between 8 and 10 players older than 18, with Skype , a working microphone , and willing to play a game like the West Marches on some Sundays evenings, starting between 7 and 8pm GMT (+0) and will run for 4 to 5 hours . The game will be running every week, but you're not supposed to, and you won't be able to attend every week. Read below for more information. A DECENT Microphone , as well as the insurance that you will not be playing with children making a lot of noise in the background is REQUIRED to join. So if you've got loud children (we are daddy-friendly), or a helicopter running behind you, just make sure you have a good headset with enough background noise reduction to make it bearable for your fellow players. We won’t deal with crappy microphones and loud background noises, it's a matter of respecting the other players. What are we proposing to run ? A campaign within the world of the West Marches . The system will be Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition . No knowledge of the rules is required to play , we’ll walk you through character creation and teach you how to play if needed. All three of us are experienced with the system. The setting is a medieval fantastic setting, with an emphasis on weird, strange, or creepy discoveries made by bold adventurers beyond the confine of civilization, in places no one ever ventures. The type of game will be a sandbox of a very particular kind, make sure you understand how it works : Each session is a self-contained adventure . Players venture into the wild, find or are found by adventure, and return home each session. Players can join sessions on an at-will basis. There’s no assumed set party – characters can adventure in many different groups. The world of the West Marches persists beyond each session , and the characters do as well. If players have made a change in one session, other players will see that change if the follow the same path in a later session. Every character starts each session in the HUB city of the West Marches . If characters have not returned home by the end of every session, they automatically return after play has ended. A couple of warnings before you decide if you want to join ! The West Marches is a very random and dangerous setting. Characters will often be very short lived, don’t expect to be playing long term characters like in a story-focused campaign, unless you’re smart and strong enough to face the dangers of the wilderness and survive. Be aware as well that stats will be rolled for, with no option for point buy. HP will be rolled for on every level except for level one, with again no option for taking the average. That means if you’re a minmaxing kind of guy and cannot deal with a not-perfect character, you’re probably not going to enjoy your time within the West Marches, since you’ll probably burn through a couple of characters before you get one strong enough to survive the wilderness of the West Marches. Lastly, we're adults and except to be playing with adults. Adults themes and grim, dark or violent topics are probably going to come up during play. Be aware of that. I want to know more ! Send me a PM, or reply here, I’ll answer any question you might have. Once you join, you'll find a VERY detailed post in our campaign forum about how the game works, and information about the setting. I’m interested in joining ! Send me a PM with your Skype information, and we’ll get you in ! The first game will be taking place on the evening of Sunday, the 5th of April around 7pm London time , and then the game will run every week at the same time after that.
