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.

Newbie friendly
New players are welcome, and nobody expects you to know the rules beforehand.
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

V20 Digital Larp - Midnight Masquerade

West Marches / Living World
One world and a big pool of players, but no fixed party - whoever signs up that week is who plays.
[World of Darkness] [18+] [LGBT+ Friendly] [Long-Term] [Looking for Players] First, the proof - Website: midnightmasquerade.net Recent VOD of live gameplay: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2917146043 Then, the pitch: Midnight Masquerade is a new FiveM server that runs Vampire the Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition (v20) in a digital larp style environment while using the core V20 rules as written in a live manner. Punch someone in the game? It automatically rolls your attack and damage as well as the defender's soak. Frenzy? Your screen goes red or gray and your character runs. Shapeshifting, Psychic Projection, Obfuscate, and much more - and we're only getting started. The server is in an Alpha state while the Devs work around the clock to add features to make the game feel seamless between FiveM mechanics and V20 ones. Some key features: In game character sheets - your blood and willpower spends get automatically processed and your dice affect the interactions with the world around you, taking inspiration from VTM: Bloodlines. Interaction backgrounds like Herd, Domain, etc - an editable domain map to stake your claim and territory, summon 'locals' to you from your Herd to feed, or go out and hunt them yourselves. Fully customizable peds - Many clothing options exist and more to come. Fully customize your character to make them as vampiric as you want (and as far as the Masquerade allows!) What are we looking for: Serious RPers - This is not a VDM/RDM server. Combat is short, brutal, and lethal - canny vampires avoid it and instead use boons, secrets, and leverage to get what they want. Be part of the opening story: The Camarilla has returned to Los Santos, will you join the Tower and expand Domain or be part of the Anarch movement slowly losing ground against the monolithic weight of politics and Elders? Mortal Life?: Come play a human and make the world real - do crime, do LEO work, and eventually peel back the layers to find the supernatural influences underneath. Bring a group and get some benefits: Want to bring your motorcycle club to a new city? Let's talk whole group mergers, livery on your clothes and vehicles, and more - our Dev team is incredibly responsive and open to player agency. Bring a group and make a lineage? In the terms of the in-character story, this is a prime opportunity to come join the Camarilla with a clan of 3-5, take a Primogen seat, and stake out territory in the city for your clan. Core Camarilla clans are easy approvals - elders and rarer bloodlines require more extensive whitelisting but are certainly possible. The server operates on a "seasonal" basis for rarer items - want to play something very rare? Come in with a pitch of a storyline around it that runs for six months and get to play that rare concept while also earning experience for your next, non seasonal, character! Please feel free to look over my VODs on twitch, I do a lot of 'here's all the bells and whistles' and feel free to DM with any questions.

Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
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

Shadowdark – 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'm looking for additional players for a casual Shadowdark West Marches game. The campaign takes place in the world of Jurmen, based on the Nightfell third-party DnD 5e setting. The game uses a West Marches-style format, focusing on exploration, dangerous adventures and discovering what's hidden in an unfamiliar world. A little about the game: Setting: Jurmen, based on Nightfell. Format: Online. Sessions: Approximately once a month. Adventures: Mostly self-contained one-shots. Players choose which rumours and expeditions they want to pursue. No requirement to attend every session. A shared world where different groups of characters can explore and make discoveries. Shadowdark is a relatively lethal fantasy RPG, where characters are adventurers rather than powerful heroes. Newcomers are welcome. I'm looking for a few additional players interested in occasional adventures without the commitment of a weekly campaign. If this sounds interesting, feel free to send me a message introducing yourself and mentioning your experience with tabletop RPGs.

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

Paid game
The Game Master charges a fee to run the game.
🩸Brussels is the capital of Europe. To the mortals, it’s a surreal maze. To the Kindred, it’s a gilded cage. The year is 2016. Prince Vermeulen has wiped the court floor clean to make room for a fresh generation of neonates. Meanwhile, from their sheltered university campus, the Anarchs are gambling with their long running truce. You arrive in the City with a target on your back, drafted into a game you don’t yet understand. Here, the Masquerade is paramount and your allegiance is your only shield, for beyond the polished cobblestones of the city center darker mysteries lie in wait. Your word carries weight: every alliance has a price, and every secret is a weapon. Your actions will test your Humanity and shape the City. Your failures will shape your execution. How long will you navigate the avenues of power? Will you rise in the City of Wastrels or vanish from records and memories? Brussels is watching, and Brussels remembers. - Ruleset: Vampire: The Masquerade 5th edition. - Mature audience, adults only. - Beginners welcome, LGBTQ+ and kink friendly. - Choice of online sessions or Play by Post. - Membership starts at 8.99 EUR/month More information via ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/hiddenson/tiers

Into the Caverns of Thracia

West Marches / Living World
One world and a big pool of players, but no fixed party - whoever signs up that week is who plays.
**Welcome, Adventurers!** We’re recruiting players for an **online Shadowdark open table exploring The Caverns of Thracia**, one of the hobby’s most celebrated megadungeons. Our group includes longtime players and complete newcomers, and we’d love to welcome a few more of both. **Why an open table?** Our original five-player campaign ran into the BBEG of modern tabletop: scheduling. Between jobs, partners, and families, getting everyone together became its own epic quest. An open table means **you sign up for the sessions that work for you, with no expectation of attending every game.** The party may change, but everyone contributes to the same ongoing campaign. **The adventure** Our version of Thracia lies beneath an abandoned structure in the Drake Peaks, in the Northerlands of Shadowdark’s Western Reaches. Something within these vast caverns has been raiding villages throughout the Isles of Andrik. You’ve answered the call to discover what’s behind the attacks and will venture into the depths to stop them. Each session is a single expedition, **beginning and ending in town**. Between delves, players share discoveries through a communal map and tavern board. A warning left by one party might save the next; an unexplored passage might become another group’s destination. Together, we’ll uncover the dungeon’s secrets. **When we play** I run **two sessions a month**: one weekday evening and one weekend daytime session. Times vary to accommodate players across US time zones, from Eastern to Pacific. **Who we’re looking for** We’re an adult group balancing gaming with jobs, relationships, families, and everything else life throws at us. We’re looking for fellow adults who appreciate that balance and want to make room for a good adventure when schedules allow. Some of us have played D&D in one form or another for decades; others are getting their feet wet. **No Shadowdark experience is necessary.** Questions are welcome, and patience and respect are expected. We have a simple no-jerks policy. **Interested?** Message me here! I have two short YouTube videos. One is an overview of the campaign, and the other introduces the adventure hook. I'm happy to share both if you're interested.

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.
