We are full on requests this season, thank you!! For those that reached out already , thank you for your patience while honkus.bonkus reaches out to you! He's working his way through the group that pinged yesterday. As we have enough requests to fill our slots, we are closing requests for this season, but will see you all again in August 2026 . Thank you and have amazing adventures! :) Who are we? Unforged Horizons is a living, breathing open world with adventures, settings and story arcs happening all at the same time in a community of around 20 consistent players and 4 experienced Dungeon Masters. We are a variation/upgrade of a West Marches server, combining the elements of a sandbox world with story-driven elements. If you've never tried West Marches before, or have experience with old ones, we truly set a different bar! Our server is ever-evolving, improving yearly with new content or fine-tuning mechanics to ensure that the games are a fun and fair experience for everyone. The server will celebrate its 5th anniversary in July, with both old and new players, and our DMs are always striving to put out the best. If you've always wanted to get invested into a character and play them through without the game falling apart... well here we are. Note: This is our recruitment window! We only recruit once per story season, usually January and August, to keep players on the same level scale throughout a season. Don't worry if you get in and only see T3/T4 quests posted, our current season is wrapping up while we recruit. T1 quests are coming! What do we expect from our playerbase? Age 18+. We keep content at a socially acceptable level, but we're all adults. There is some cursing and some joking around that may not be suitable for younger audiences. 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. Those that actively text-roleplay outside of sessions in our Discord RP channels are definitely encouraged! Many of our folks are on daily, even just to chat or RP. We are a very active group. :) 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! Please no "joke" or "meme" characters. There's places for jokes at the table, and memes can run rampant in our chat, but for characters and world building, we have a world that feels real with regional and even cosmic problems that need solving; these things require real heroes! 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 actively-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. A Trading Card Game! :) We have a lot of amazing lore from past story arcs, and the simplest way to get an easy, bite-size look at it if you are interested, is by collecting our optional lore cards. We have a fully automated and dynamic collecting website where you can collect, trade, and peruse our lore cards with other members. It's easy and makes learning some of the older history fun and less overwhelming. Automated tracking! A ton of our tracking is automated for you. From XP, piety, and even downtime days, it's all calculated for you with our custom Discord bots and website, and the rest is conveniently managed in Chronica. We want players to enjoy the story and not get bogged down in spreadsheets (unless they want to!) Availability and time zones: We have 4 active Dungeon Masters, who run games on the following times, and a few Loremasters who may run a game here and there to add on: USA - 7 P.M PST ( majority of games, between 1-3 games/week) EU - 8 P.M GMT+2 ( 1, maybe 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 all day long! Additional Info: 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 15 if in a Bard-song arc, or 20 if in a Legends-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 for sessions, Discord for chat, and Chronica for all our tabletop management. We also have our own website to make our world immersive with extra organized info, and an automated TCG site if you have that collecting itch you want to scratch. We have a good selection of carefully-crafted homebrew to make the games and character creation even more exciting, without ruining the experience with power-builds. We've updated a lot of PHB classes to give them a bit more "oomf"! Interested in joining? Great! Reach out to our community manager honkus.bonkus on Discord to get started! Just shoot him a message, he's friendly! :) If it does not allow you to message him without a friend request, feel free to send one. Please be patient, as we all have jobs outside of D&D (unfortunately!), but we'll get back to you asap.
