About the adventure
š D&D 2024 šŗļø West Marches Sandbox šNon-Commital; Play Once or Whenever you like! āļø Dangerous Frontiers, Player-Driven Storytelling šŖØ Touchstones: The Witcher, The Lost World, Valheim š The Story Far across the Trackless Sea, a land has risen where none stood before. Its wilds teem with ruins, monsters, and mysteries waiting to be uncovered. At its edge clings a struggling colony, funded by the great cities of the Sword Coast but teetering on collapse. The crops fail to seed in strange soil, colonists vanish when travelling too far, and both beasts & bandits prowl the borders. To salvage their investment, the cities have appointed a Guild, New Frontier, to take control; seeking not soliders, but adventurers. From the Guild Hall at the colonyās heart, missions are posted; scout the wilderness, protect settlers, delve into mysterious ruins, and hunt dangerous creatures. This is an evolving tale of exploration & frontier freedom, where brave (or foolish) souls tread into lands untouched to seek fortune & fame. For details on the Specifc Session Quest, please see the "Party Notes" section below. š Fully Voiced NPCs & Monsters š¼ Immersive Music & SFX š³ļøāš LGBTQ+ Friendly š What to Expect Themes: Discovery, Exploration, Survival, Wonder, Mystery, The Price of Ambition This is a West Marches sandbox; player-driven, open-ended, and focused on exploration. Adventures begin and end at the colony, with either established missions or ones chosen by the players themselves. The map expands only through your actions, with each session unearthing new discoveries and uncovering new dangers. You can expect plenty of combat and exploration. Whilst there is no explicit narrative, a story will be told of yours, and others, efforts to reveal this mystrious new land. Even if you play for one game, it will help shape the world for others! šāāļø About Me I'm Euan, a Professional Dungeon Master with seven years of experience. Armed with a Master of Arts Degree in Drama and a wealth of theatrical expertise, I craft immersive, high-roleplay experiences. Expect fully-voiced NPCs and a world shaped by your actions. With multiple games weekly, I ensure each session maintains a professional standard.
