A New Nation has been founded but finds itself chained to the old Empire. To south, pirates threaten its only port with smuggling and raiding. On top of this, Blood Goblin Slavers are capturing its people and selling them to the Orc Queendom. How will you help this city shake off its old ties and keep itself safe? Welcome to the Gold Marches! You came here seeking the wealth of a new land and find it infested with many dangers and many opportunities! **What makes the Gold Marches different than other West Marches?** In the Gold Marches, you will level up by spending gold earned from sessions and downtime. Items are traded in a player based economy. Our downtime gives you the ability to earn fame with a variety of factions that build out your character's involvement in the world directly. **Why should you join the Gold Marches?** The ability to build the character you want to play and craft the items you want to wield are two big reasons. You spend gold to craft items and your character gets it. You can roleplay out how you got the item in our downtime area if you are a character that cannot use magic to make items.  Our combat encounter design is agreed upon by each DM, making sure that your combats go smoothly but are still challenging.  Finally, you will be exploring a world and opening up new areas , watching the map grow as you do so. This is a world you can affect as you join factions and explore the world. **How many sessions are usually available each week?** We plan to have at least two sessions for most weeks, sometimes this may be more like 4. We offer sessions both earlier in the day and later at night for a wide variety of time zones. **Where do I join?** Private message me on discord - warlordmal
