Welcome to Our West Marches Campaign!
Welcome, adventurers! This is a shared, open-world Dungeons & Dragons campaign where exploration, discovery and player choice drive the story.
Unlike a traditional D&D campaign, there is no fixed party or single ongoing storyline. Instead, we explore a persistent world together, with different members of our group taking turns as Dungeon Master.
How Does It Work?
- Adventures: DMs create and advertise adventures, and players sign up for the sessions they want to join. Games are played in person, whenever we can get a group together.
- Exploration: The world is divided into hexes containing locations, mysteries, dangers and opportunities. As we explore, the map and our knowledge of the world grow.
- A Living World: Our actions have lasting consequences. Discoveries, completed quests and changes to the world are recorded for everyone.
- Shared Worldbuilding: Everyone is encouraged to contribute ideas, create locations, develop lore and even run their own adventures.
Creating Your Character
We encourage creativity! Official D&D content and published third-party options are welcome, while homebrew material can be used following community approval.
To get started:
- Read our Character Creation Guidelines.
- Create your character using your preferred character builder or sheet.
- Submit your character for approval and register them on this website.
- Browse upcoming adventures and join one that interests you!
You can create multiple characters, allowing you to explore different playstyles and participate in adventures suited to their levels.
Where to Find Everything
- This Website: World maps, lore, characters, adventures and rewards.
- Discord: Adventure announcements, group discussions, worldbuilding ideas and session organisation.
- The Wiki: Our growing record of locations, factions, discoveries and world history.
Make Your Mark!
There is no single path through this world. Follow rumours, investigate forgotten ruins, pursue personal goals or uncover mysteries left by other adventurers.
Whether you're exploring the wilderness, creating a new corner of the world or stepping behind the DM screen, you're helping shape our shared story.
The world is ours to build. The adventures are ours to discover!
