Adventures System

The adventures system in WestMarches.games provides comprehensive session scheduling, signup management, and post-session logging for tabletop RPG communities.

Overview

Adventures (also called sessions) are the core scheduling unit for West Marches campaigns. GMs can create upcoming adventures for players to sign up for, and completed adventures become part of the community's history and adventure log.

For Admins: Configure adventure settings in Community Settings → Adventure Settings. You can set up attributes, reminders, and custom fields.

Creating Adventures

GMs and authorized users can create adventures with detailed specifications:

Basic Information
Title, description (with Markdown support), date and time scheduling
Player Requirements
Minimum and maximum number of players, character level requirements
Duration & Timing
Expected session duration, supports user's timezone preferences

Time will always be displayed to the players in their individual timezone.

Signup Management

The platform provides flexible signup management options:

Auto-Approval
GMs can enable automatic signup approval, or manually review each signup
Character Selection
Players choose which of their characters to bring to the adventure
Waitlist System

Adventure Attributes

Admins can create custom attributes for organizational purposes. These could be adventure type, difficulty, theme, or any community-specific categorization.

Attributes can be marked as filterable to appear as filters on the adventures page
