What is a West Marches or Living World game?

One world, one big pool of players, and no fixed party. Sessions are scheduled when people are free, and whoever signs up that week is who plays - so you can join for a single evening or keep coming back for months. Most of them run as communities, often on Discord, where several Game Masters share the same setting.

There are 574 active games but none fit your search…

Just a bit of a passion project given how there's not many if any other servers of my liking. A custom world setting that's still growing (Mainly because i'm not a writer...but i do try) with a few stipulations that aren't like most other WM servers. First order of business is that it's only rolled stats with at least one forced negative stat somewhere in every set, like it better that way. As well, it's a lvl 1 start, not a fan of lvl 3 or higher starts so I thought i'd tap into those who like starting at the very bottom of the ladder. The other major ruling is that PvP is more laxed as the only real condition is that you don't just be a mass player killer for no reason, however wanting to knock someone out for commiting an atrocity would be fair game even if they otherwise out of character say no, another major reason as to why I made the server is being forced to act out of character due to OOC discussions. Other then that it's just what i'd call a somewhat normal 5/5.5e westmawrch server, join or don't it's up to you https://discord.gg/yD6ZWB2PQ3 If you want the link to join

The world of Phelun is an old one that has seen many conflicts throughout its history. While times seem peaceful, beneath the surface there are whisperings of the Dragon Queen stirring within her prison, strange events occurring upon the continent of Ines, and adventure awaiting upon the lost continent of Asoris. This is an 18+ only server that is a mix of go at your own pace pbp and west marches living world elements.  https://discord.gg/X8dFsNrjBw This is a new Server that has been worked on by one DM for 3 months. It currently features the following:     PbP forums for those who prefer slower RPs.     Living world channels where characters can explore the lands or meet one another in real time in the pub.     DM run Tables. (We are looking for more DMs to help run tables)     Mining, gathering, fishing, and exploration through Avrae commands (commands are ready, but random tables need to be filled out more for variety).     Random in game daily events (not tied to irl days, and still being worked on).     Market to buy items.     Guilds (will need leaders).     Job command to earn coin and a living world channel to RP the work in. (currently being reworked)     Custom Drinking command for the pub.     Player housing.

West Marches / Living World
One world and a big pool of players, but no fixed party - whoever signs up that week is who plays.
Roleplay focused
Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
I am posting this on behalf of the incredible DMs of this westmarches group. We need new blood! We're certainly not floundering or anything, but there's a handful of people who are active outside of the DMs themselves. Our games tend to run at 1:30 EST/7:30 CET and the majority of players are in the CET timezone, but speak predominantly English. It's a group of chill, non-discriminatory players who request a game that works for them. A lot of the rules in this server rely on AONPRD PFS legal content with some exceptions. I can answer most questions or give more details on such rules if asked. The setting: An adventuring guild in the city of Lascaris is sent out on the regular through the Nexus, teleporting to lands mostly untouched by civilization in millenia, in the hopes to uncover lost Sarusan architecture and artifacts. It's typically the players who tell the stories of these zones, that and what was left behind. Or what has taken residence in the time between our intervention... All of our communication goes through Discord, but I would like to personally vet anyone who is interested. DM me or leave an application and I'll get to you when I can.

TCR is D&D 5e with re-balances to make it more fair and fun. we operate like an MMO, you simply create your character then you can sign up to join any quest. you keep all loot and level up after each quest. You can have multiple characters if you want to try different set up out. We have 13 classes with a total of 170+ subclasses. We have re-worked the races and plan to add more as we go. if we dont have something that your looking for let us know :D We use discord for voice and Foundry VTT for battle maps, rules and character creation. The VTT is heavily modified to be easier to use and more automated so you can focus more on the combat and roleplaying rather than finding stuff in a clustered system. We have a group of active GM's throwing out quests on a weekly basis. Alot of these quests are also part of a larger quest series that lets you delve into more lore and investigations. Contact me if you wish to know more or join our discord! https://discord.gg/yGRMnh8cXg

West Marches / Living World
One world and a big pool of players, but no fixed party - whoever signs up that week is who plays.
Combat focused
Fights, tactics and initiative take up most of the table time.
Short Story Long ago, the land was consumed by war. Cities fell, countless lives were lost, and fear spread as the Avatar, a malevolent force, unleashed demons and monsters across the realm. In time, a band of heroes from distant lands, joined by champions of the realm itself, rose to face the darkness. Through their courage and sacrifice, the Avatar was finally defeated, and peace was restored. Yet not all wounds healed so easily. During the war, one of the dwarven clans, driven by greed and manipulated by the Avatar’s influence, sided with the forces of darkness. Though the evil was defeated, the stain of that betrayal remained. Trust in the dwarves was broken, and many races and rival clans never truly forgave them. Now, in the city of Amber Trees, also known as Amber City, a new chapter begins. To rebuild their honor and restore faith in their people, the dwarves have founded an adventurers’ guild, offering brave souls the chance to take on dangerous missions, defend the realm, and shape its future. Our adventurers arrive in Amber City in search of glory, fortune, and purpose. By taking up the guild’s call, they will not only forge their own legends, but also help the dwarves reclaim the trust they lost and prove that redemption can be earned through courage, loyalty, and deeds. After some time the dwarven guilds regained some of their reputation back with the help of some powerful heroes. They are now sending caravans to the elven and human territories guarded by the new adventurers and you are one of them. ↠Amount of Players recommended for session: 3 or 4 players ↠Type of Campaign: Campaign with westmarch style+ Homebrew setting ↠Game System: 5e 2014 + UA with homebrew rules where we dont have any rules in the books ↠Game Style: more on Combat and less on Roleplay ↠Voice Chat: Required, we will use discord ↠Difficulty of Campaign: easy ↠Experience Level: - Any, everyone is welcome ↠Starting Level: Players will make lvl 1 characters with point buy and do one-shots westmarch style low lvl quests with other random players that are online at the same time as them until they form a stable party to go after the high lvl campaign quests. ↠General Overview of Campaign: After a big war that included many races one of them lost its trust . They were the Dwarves. Some of their clans sided with the bad guys in the war. Players will start as new adventurers recruited by a guild with the purpose to help cities, towns and settlements and get that lost trust back. ↠Length of Campaign: Big Adventure Campaign with small one shots westmarch style that has saved progress at the end until a stable party is formed to do the hard campaign quests ↠Game Duration: 2-3 hours ↠Day and Time: to hold a session we need at least 3 players online at the same time (recommended ) and i have a window of 16h to hold games every day ↠Session Frequency: every day ↠Player Expectations: - Have a stable connection, no background noise and a good mic. ↠How to Apply: give me a message

D&D 5e 2024 Level 20 Combat West Marches

West Marches / Living World
One world and a big pool of players, but no fixed party - whoever signs up that week is who plays.
I run level 20 West Marches style gauntlet sessions designed to help players learn high-level D&D mechanics in a fun, low-pressure environment. We run games most days of the week (including afternoon and late-night sessions), featuring new encounters with a rotating group of players. You can bring a different character every session, try out new subclasses, and see how different builds perform in tough fights. We use 5.5e rules with 2014 subclass compatibility, and characters start at level 20 with one Legendary, two Very Rare, and one Rare item. Encounters rotate regularly so you never fight the same thing twice. No long-term campaign commitment, no pressure, just good combat and good company whenever your schedule aligns. Schedule: Multiple sessions hosted weekly across various days & times (Daytime & Late Night Pacific Time) Who can join: New players welcome, veterans welcome, everyone welcome. https://discord.gg/4ARUcvPNH

Across the Western Reaches

West Marches / Living World
One world and a big pool of players, but no fixed party - whoever signs up that week is who plays.
Scheduling will be determined on a session-per-session basis as per West Marches style. In an ideal world sessions will be on a weekly or biweekly basis. Games will be scheduled for the month of November in UTC-5 time zone with much availability on my (GM) end, and from December onwards my schedule will be in UTC +3 with games in the evenings monday to saturday or potentially during the day on sunday.  - Game session duration: 3hrs - Sessions will use roll20 and a dedicated discord server. The game will be a West Marches game set in the Western Reaches campaign setting. This means open-table, players using a roster of multiple characters, semi-regular scheduling based on highest availabilities, and an emphasis on exploration through Hex Crawling and individual point of interest crawling. PCs will have to return to safety at the end of each session or risk rolling on the caught in danger table (very bad things could happen ). The use of the Fast Travel rules will make this relatively easy, so don't let this dissuade you! Players will directly forge the narrative and expand the world by exploring and discovering new information throughout the Reaches. The West Marches nature of this campaign means that it does not require high commitment and regular attendance. Whether you want to try out Shadowdark for the first time, only hop in an adventure once in a while or plan on attending every session, there is a place for you on in this campaign.  PC options: - All Core and Player's Guide to the Western Reaches options. - New Characters start at Lv1, designed or random. - House Rules: Max hit die HP at creation, Luck can turn crit rolls to normal roles and vice versa, PCs not sleeping intentionally take stat dmg to represent exhaustion. More details on the discord server.  If you want to heed the call for adventure and forge an emergent narrative across the amazing Western Reaches world, send me a Discord DM to venture out into the Wilds... and pray you come back alive!

Looking for 2 players for an in-person D&D group

Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
Roleplay focused
Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
Hey everyone! 🎲 We’re looking for 2 more people, ages 18–30, to join a new in-person D&D campaign around Lakewood/Denver. We already have 2 players and we’re really hoping to find people who want more than just showing up for D&D. We’d love to build an actual friend group where we can also play board games, grab food, hang out, etc. So definitely friends first, D&D players second. The campaign is a long-term homebrew world called Soleil: 500 years ago, the Sun stopped moving. Civilization now survives in a narrow band of eternal twilight between a blazing desert and a frozen darkness. On the 500th anniversary of a massive yearly ceremony, four travelers leave the safety of The Line to discover what lies beyond the walls. It’ll be a mix of mystery, exploration, roleplay, combat, giant titan monsters, emotional story moments, and weird discoveries. ✨ We’re thinking: • In person around Lakewood/Denver • About every other week • Long-term campaign • D&D 2024 rules • Beginners welcome • We’d probably do a casual hangout or board game night first just to make sure everyone vibes before committing • Your character will have deep secret and background link to the world ! If you’re interested, send me a message and tell me a little about yourself, what you like about D&D, and what other games or hobbies you’re into!
