About the adventure
You’ve heard of the iron-fisted rule of the Plague Lord, the desperate war for ending his lethal quest for power. The layout of the land was forever shifted in the aftermath. When the Ruling Council took over, your hopes might’ve been high that life would improve. But the economy was ruined and the public records were insufficient and outdated. It had became clear that a kingdom that doesn’t know itself can’t rule itself. So you’ve decided to leave poverty behind and hunt for your fortune as a Reclaimer. You’ve crossed the portal to our last bastion to explore and catalogue this hostile frontier. In spite of the rumors that the Plague Lord’s shadow still looms here. Prove your worth. Develop the Base Stronghold. Brave the unknown, and uncover untold secrets. The kingdom will survive, or break apart, based on your actions. No pressure, right? 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. *We 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 William brings to the table
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”
