Who are we? Sword Coast Adventure Realm is a living, breathing open world, with adventures, settings and story arcs happening all at the same time in a tightly-knit community of over 20 consistent players and 5 experienced Dungeon Masters. We are a variation of a West Marches server, combining the elements of a sandbox world with story-driven elements. Our server is ever-evolving, improving regularly with new content or fine-tuning mechanics to ensure that the games are a fun and fair experience for everyone. The server now celebrates its 3rd anniversary with both old and new players, and our DMs are always striving to put out the best content. If you've always wanted to get invested into a character and play them through without the game falling apart... well here we are. What do we expect from our playerbase? Age 18+. We keep content at a socially acceptable level, but we're all adults. We have a Content Type Opt Out post if you have specific phobias. Regular Participation. We generally expect about two games a month, more if you are up for it! We enjoy a very active community that checks in to our Discord a few times a week and is interested in roleplay and character story over just showing up to only roll dice. Many of our folks are on daily, even just to chat or RP. Responsiveness. If you are signed up for a session, etc, you may get a ping from a DM to check on your Roll20 sheet or answer a question. Players need to be able to reply to these pings within a day to keep sessions moving smoothly. Make sure our time zones work for you! Because of the amount of time a West Marches-style server takes in terms of story, character development, and general participation, we do politely and kindly request that if you are part of this server, it is the only West Marches-style server you are part of. Our server style emphasizes character story, and we want to make sure you get the most out of being here! What do we offer? 1-3 games a week on different time slots for different tiers. Sign up when you are available. A very lively community full of folks who love to play D&D and develop story-driven characters. 24/7 available role-playing in a well-organized and managed Discord. Out-of-game activities on Discord and Chronica, so the D&D continues even outside of sessions. Roll20 Premium with quality assets. Our Dungeon Masters are on your side, not against you. Tier 1 is introduction into mechanics and getting a feel for your character. We are not out to TPK, but still provide challenging games. That being said, death is still a possibility, and makes for a great story! Some of our sessions have mature themes set in a fantasy world, but are kept generally at a PG-13 level. Availability and time zones: We have 5 active Dungeon Masters, who run games on the following times, and 1 additional DM who helps to maintain the community: USA - 7 P.M PST ( majority of games, between 1-2 games/week) EU - 8 P.M GMT+2 ( 1-2 games/month) AUS - 7 P.M AEST (occasional) Chronica and Discord are always available - you can RP, craft items, go carousing and chat with other players! Our features: High quality games with both combat and unique storylines Character lifespans vary slightly. You can get up to level 11 via one-shots and settings, or up to level 20-22 if in a story arc. Characters within the server span around 7-9 RL months, allowing both a fulfilling time to play them and a chance to start someone new. We are utilizing roll20, Discord, Chronica, and our own website to make our world immersive. Carefully-crafted homebrew to make the games and character creation even more exciting, without ruining the experience with power-builds. How to contact us? Reach out to our community manager honkus.bonkus on Discord if interested in joining! Just shoot him a message, he's friendly! :) Thank you so much everyone, we are putting a pause on new players while we audit this group. If anyone drops out we will re open! :)
