Adventures

Adventures are your classic D&D sessions. They are scheduled via westmarches.games, and generally played on roll20 and over voice chat.

All adventure times from westmarches.games are automatically converted to the viewer's time zone

Scheduling Adventures

For a better chance of a DM picking up your adventure, try to schedule at least a few days in advance!
To post an adventure, follow the steps below:

1. Go to our community page on westmarches.games
2. Select the "Adventures" tab from the top of the page (or the left side bar on mobile)
3. Select "Schedule New Adventure" by clicking the torch icon with the "+" sign
4. Select "Player" at the top of the page, and which character you are looking to play for this adventure
5. Title your adventure with the planned date
6. Fill out all info requested, noting the following:

• Adventures are always minimum 3 players, max 5 players
• select up to 2 in-character adventurer ranks for 'discord roles to ping'; your own + 1 rank above or below yours
• Fill in the level ranges to follow the ranks for which you are pinging

1. Select a date, time, and roughly how long you're looking to play.
2. Click "Create Adventure". The Adventure is then automatically sent to the #adventure-listings channel with a thread created.
3. Wait a few hours before selecting your party members. To select party members, go to the westmarches.games page for the adventure (this can be accessed through the discord post, or by the adventures tab on the website), and scroll down to see the list of applicants. Click the 3 circles to the right of the character, and click 'approve'
4. If a DM is available and interested in running, they will claim the adventure on the westmarches.games page, then ping all the players in the discord thread.

Note: DMs may choose to extend the level ranges to 3 ranks if they wish. This can make balancing more difficult, so this adjustment should only occur on the DM side.

Joining Scheduled Adventures

You can join posted adventures in one of two ways:

Your rank will be pinged via discord in the #adventure-listings channel when an adventure is posted. From the post, click "View details and sign up" to be taken to the westmarches.games page for the adventure

From the westmarches.games community page, select the "adventures" tab at the top (or left side bar on mobile.) Here, you can see a list of all adventures, as well as any with open spots. You can also filter adventures based on time and day of the week. Click the adventure you're interested in joining.

Click the "sign up" button.

You will get a ping automatically from westmarches.games 30 minutes before the start of any adventure; even if a DM has not picked it up.

Playing in the Adventure

Currently, adventures are held on roll20 and over discord voice chat. If a DM picks up an adventure you're in, you will get a ping from the DM in the thread in the #adventure-listings channel letting you know.

Before the adventure begins, find the DM's page on the westmarches.games community home page; or in the adventure's post in #adventure-listings. The DM's roll20 game link should be there. If the link does not work, please let the DM know!

Be sure to check the magic item limitations in Leveling Up, Ranks, & Perks when preparing to go on your adventure!

Importing your PC sheet:

After joining their roll20 game, you will need to move your sheet from the roll20 PC bank to the DM's game. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Go to Roll20
2. Hover over "Tools" in the top bar, then select "Characters"
3. Scroll down to the "My Characters" section, and click "import"
4. In the pop up, select the Glassfang Syndicate PC bank that your PC sheet was created/is stored, then select your character, then click "import"
5. Your character is now listed under the "My Characters" section. Click the "+" sign next to your character's name to add to game
6. Select your DM's roll20 game from the pop up
7. Open your DM's game, and you should see your sheet there!

All sheet updates should be done within the PC Bank on Roll20, do NOT make any updates in the "my characters" page. After any updates, delete your sheet from the "my characters" page, and import the updated one from the PC Bank following the steps above.

Post Adventure

After the party has completed the adventure, the DM distributes rewards directly to each PC via the westmarches.games adventure page.

Any rewards that are not automatically tracked, such as magic items, must be logged in #inventory-logs.

Post Adventure Notes

After completing an adventure, you can do an in-character write up of the adventure by clicking "add notes" on the bottom of the adventure page on westmarches.games. Any note should answer all of the following questions:

• Who
• What
• Where
• When
• Why

Upon completing your notes, you may reward yourself with 1 additional XP by going to your character's page on westmarches.games, selecting "give rewards", enter in 1 experience point, and put the adventure name and date in the "notes" section of the pop up. Note: You can also grant yourself 1 XP by going to the misc marketplace on wmg and purchasing it.

State of The Syndicate Notes

• Once a month, the @adventurer role is pinged for an adventure, named "The State of The Syndicate - (current month)." This is not an adventure that will be run, but rather only referenced for its 'adventure notes.' Still be sure to sign up for it so you can write notes!
• On this adventure page on westmarches.games, you can write up an adventure note, documenting all recent happenings about the syndicate. These notes should be in character! So if you are writing one for each of your characters, they should not just be copied and pasted for each one! Feel free to edit at your leisure!
• While you can sign up for the adventure with multiple characters, each player only has one place to write notes, so be sure to notate which section of your notes is for which PC.
• once you have completed your notes, reward yourself 1xp, as if you were completing any adventure notes.

The goal of this is to help people catch up with what's been happening both IC and OoC, if they are newly joining the syndicate, or if they step away at any point!

To view these notes and get caught up, head over to States of The Syndicate - 1502 DR - The Current Year
