Welcome, Adventurer, to the Glassfang Syndicate! A 5e West Marches server and living world of the Forgotten Realms! Upon joining, your character (PC) will be recruited as a mercenary into the rough and tumble Glassfang Syndicate. How or why your PC got here is completely up to you!

Within this Player’s Guide is a lot of information. Give it a read, but don’t worry about memorizing everything here.

We are currently in our play testing phase! This means the following: any systems, ruling, and guides are subject to change at any time (updated via #patch-notes); characters may be required to reset before we fully launch; and we are eager to hear any and all feedback you have!

Everything you need to know to get started can be found in the Introductory Information, Code of Conduct, Character Creation and Playing the Game sections
