Getting Started

Hello and welcome to West Marches! This is a game where a large group of us take turns DMing and playing in order to make a huge drop-in drop-out world for us all to play in. Let me show you around a little bit, as I'm sure your confused and need a hand.

West Marches?
The overall plot here is that our adventurers have left their homes in the Eastern world, finally able to traverse the burning sea that separated them from the West. This is the first time any Easterner has set foot on Western soil in tens of thousands of years. Basically, it's been awhile.

We all live together, as adventurers, in the town of Here, we have both Eastern and Western peoples, working together to explore and learn about this continent.

Also on the map West is North. Look at The Cardinal Direction for more info.

Getting Statted
Ok! So you know the basic pitch now, and you're ready to create your character! Head over to Playable Species and pick one! More species become available as we go along and learn more about the area, connect with species and other Westerners.

For character creation, we use mostly the Genesys Fantasy setting stuff and supplement with this pathfinder hack, which, honestly is just Fantasy Genesys. We used Gold as a currency, so move a decimal one to the right instead of credits. So 10 Gold is 100 silver (credits),is 1000 bronze.

You start with 50 gold!

We have group XP, that as we play everyone gets a boost. This is currently sitting at 40 XP for you to start with, on TOP of what your character species has.

Also, there are no classes! Just pick 8 class skills, take a rank in four.

Ok, I got my character. What's currently happening in game?
hahaha, uh, well. Alot.

There are multiple plot threads active rn, and it changes from dm to dm what is happening. There are Factions and different places out here in the West, so it's best to just ask around or read the summaries.
