Details of scenario:
You find yourself at a small port town on the edge of civilization overlooking a large body of water, the unseen and mysterious eastern shore looming over the horizon. The small boat moored to the docks here makes the day long journey once a week. As of late, its cargo has been as minimal as its passenger count; goblin raids on the small frontier village have pushed the good folk, and their tales of intrigue, back on to the shores of the known land. There has been every manner of speculation about what could await in the far East Marches, and you are certainly not the first to find out. What little you do know is that adventuring party after adventuring party has left these shores in search of riches and none have returned. The captain of the vessel dutifully loads several merchants and their belongings on to the deck before turning to you, “I hope you’re ready….we all do” he says glancing over a rather pathetic group aboard his ship. The merchants faces are a mix of fear and hope, and they all appear to expect an answer from you as readily as the captain.
Adventure hook:
You've come to the edge of the world, excited for the treasure, riches, or adventure that the East Marches offer
The civilized world has yet to make any in-roads save for a small frontier village that has been abandoned a dozen times over
There is a boat that travels from the known world to the Western shore of the Marches once a week for supply and trade
The last adventuring party to head out of the limited safety of the village never returned
The small number of merchants, under pressure from goblins in the area, soon fled back to the known world
The prospect of another adventuring party landing on the shores of the East Marches brings hope not just for treasure, but for finally establishing a foothold in the wild and unforgiving frontier
What little info there is about the region is to be found in the village and in the often tall tales of the common folk who talk at a safe distance from those shores
Player info:
Level 1 (point buy) start for first sessions requested, no limits; criminals and liars are as interested in the region of heroes and adventurers
Players are responsible for requesting play sessions based on their interest in any given location or activity
Players are responsible for gathering others they wish to adventure with for those sessions
Players are responsible for maintaining their own map of the region that they may share or keep private
Players are responsible for sharing rumors and information about the region if they choose to
Game info:
This is a traditional West Marches experience in Faerun-not-faerun on a mega map. Player directed adventure pathing in a flexible group setting mediated through ideally an 8+ person pool of players. Set in a remote fortress, adventures can be launched at player request with groups of any composition and minimal game preparation and using a shared discord space to manage downtime activities.
