About the adventure
The Plague Lord is Dead! The Cataclysm was avoided! May the Ruling Council reclaim our lands! Welcome to our West Marches campaign! :) In this game, players are members of the Reclaimers, agents of a faction dedicated to study and eventually reunite a diverse kingdom that was almost destroyed by The Plague Lord, a corrupt leader that plunged the land into a Cataclysm which reshaped the geography in a mad quest for power. He was finally defeated in a very costly civil war, which led to overwhelming economic crisis. State policies are the salvation, but all information of the country and its residents became obsolete. To make things worse, there are rumours of the return of the Plague Lord in multiple remote areas. With zero prospects of sustaining themselves, the player characters must explore a divided country and brave the dangers of the unknown in a search for fortune, power, glory, and ending the support of the Plague Lord over the lands. What's a west marches campaign? *No regular schedule: Games can be booked as long as I'm available and any number of players are as well. *No regular party: each game will have players from a pool of initially around 14 people *No fixed plot: Players will be given hooks and tasks and decide which ones to follow, only they happen in a overarching world with a huge country to map and explore. *In our case: we'll also have a town and a HQ to renovate and expand as players see fit - and their characters get the credit for it! *If you complete a number of forays outside the city equal to your level, you level up!

What I provide
Who am I? *A 9 years 5e GM; *A GM of about 30+ other systems; *My jam's mostly story games and Forged in The Dark; *I run mostly low prep, laid back games uninterested in punishing player choices; *I'm part of a tabletop game design collective; *I encourage roleplaying. Doing voices and acting is not required to roleplay. *Weaker player options are traps for inexperienced players, so I might buff game options that are weak and/or dumb so that player choice is not punished. Players should be able to play cool protagonists! *You can find my discord at “monocores” or “monocores#9775”
