West
This platform aims to make West Marches games more inviting and fun for both players and GMs.
A Passion Project for the Community
I created this platform based on my experiences with West Marches campaigns. Over the years, I joined several communities and, like many players, found the onboarding process confusing and intimidating. Scattered spreadsheets, Discord channels, and complicated systems made it hard to get started, especially if you felt nervous about joining a new group.
That's why I built this website: to make the West Marches experience more welcoming and fun for everyone. My goal is to remove the barriers that keep people from enjoying these collaborative stories.
This platform makes campaigns easier to manage and helps keep the magic going between adventures. You can track your character's progress, plan your next session, or stay in touch with your group's story. The app helps preserve the excitement and connection that make West Marches campaigns special.
This tool does not change how you play your games. It is here to make everything around the table easier. Your dice rolls, roleplay, problem-solving, and storytelling all stay the same. The platform handles the logistics so you can focus on what matters most: the adventure.

Meet the Developer
Hi, I'm Mikael. I've worked in software for over 20 years and have spent 8 years in tabletop RPGs. I live in Sweden with my dog and bunny, who keep me company while I code.
Before this, I worked on another passion project: freshcutgrass.app, an encounter builder and manager for Daggerheart. Like this platform, it's designed to make the technical side of tabletop gaming easier so everyone can focus on having fun.
If you have feedback, ideas, or want to say hi, I'd love to hear from you. This project gets better with help from the community, and your input is important.
You can reach me on Discord or support the project on Patreon.
