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.

The Hollow Hungers

Paid game
The Game Master charges a fee to run the game.
Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
Whether you are a recruit, an adventurer seeking glory, a criminal serving your sentence, or a local hero, you have found yourself at Scalewatch a fortress-city standing against the horrors that crawl from Gnarltongue Hollow. With too few soldiers to defend the border, you and a mismatched band of survivors have been given a forgotten outpost of your own. Build it. Defend it. Make it a home. Hunt the Primals that escape the Hollow, protect the people of Eldorune, and venture into the jungle to document what lies beyond the border. But the Hollow does not give up its secrets easily. Most who enter never return. Scalewatch is the last great bastion between civilization and Gnarltongue Hollow, a vast and hostile jungle where strange creatures known as Primals emerge from the depths. With soldiers stretched thin and the border growing more dangerous by the day, you have been given an abandoned outpost and a simple order: hold the line. Build your bastion into something worth defending, protect the people of Eldorune, and hunt whatever makes it past the walls. But survival requires more than a strong sword arm. Study the Primals you encounter. Examine their bodies, behaviors, and strange adaptations. Document what you learn so others might survive the creatures you face tomorrow. Venture beyond the border into the Hollow itself, where every expedition brings new discoveries and new dangers. The deeper you go, the more questions you will find, and some answers may be better left buried. Set in the high-fantasy world of Ithyra, The Hollow Hungers takes a more grounded and gritty approach to fantasy, focusing on survival, monster hunting, exploration, and the harsh realities of the frontier. Resources matter. Wounds matter. Your bastion matters. Every expedition carries risks, and every decision can determine who makes it home. This campaign is for players who enjoy narrative-driven adventures, meaningful choices, monster hunting, exploration, and building something together. My style is heavily narrative and choice-focused. There is rarely one correct answer, and the world will respond to what you do. You will decide what threats to pursue, what discoveries to record, how your bastion develops, who you trust, and how far you are willing to venture into the Hollow. Build your home. Hold the border. Hunt the monsters. Uncover what lies within. Most who enter never return.

Prodigies of the Weave

Paid game
The Game Master charges a fee to run the game.
Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
You are an Initiate, a student at the prestigious Academy Arcanum. Yet unlike the other students, you've been hand-selected to study under Professor Thorne. The academy's most knowledgeable Weaver and a notorious pariah among its faculty. What will you learn under him each semester? More importantly...What secrets is Professor Thorne hiding? Welcome to the Arcanum Academy, one of the greatest centers of magical learning in Ithyra. Here, magic is not merely something to cast it is something to understand, question, and reshape. As Initiates, you will study the Weave, uncover strange magical theories, take on quest for the realm, learn to alter spells beyond their traditional limits, and eventually craft a magical item of your own design. Between lessons, you'll compete against rival students, test your abilities in arcane competitions, form friendships and rivalries, and discover that even the most prestigious academy has secrets buried beneath its halls. Set within the high-fantasy world of Ithyra, Prodigies of the Weave blends ancient magic with aetherpunk innovation, a world where arcane theory and magical technology are beginning to change what people believe magic can accomplish. But the more you learn, the more questions arise. What is the Weave truly capable of? Why have certain magical theories been forgotten? And why does it seem that the academy and its faculty are hiding something from its students? This campaign is for players who enjoy character driven stories, magical discovery, exploration, and meaningful choices. My style is heavily narrative and choice focused. Your decisions shape your relationships, your education, your reputation, and ultimately the direction of the story. There isn't always a single correct path, and the world will respond to the choices you make. Come prepared to attend classes, experiment with magic, compete with your peers, make mistakes, uncover mysteries, and decide for yourselves what kind of weavers you want to become. The Weave has rules. Magic has limits. You are here to discover what happens when you challenge both.

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 run level 20 West Marches style gauntlet sessions designed to help players learn high-level D&D mechanics in a fun, low-pressure environment. We run games most days of the week (including afternoon and late-night sessions), featuring new encounters with a rotating group of players. You can bring a different character every session, try out new subclasses, and see how different builds perform in tough fights. We use 5.5e rules with 2014 subclass compatibility, and characters start at level 20 with one Legendary, two Very Rare, and one Rare item. Encounters rotate regularly so you never fight the same thing twice. No long-term campaign commitment, no pressure, just good combat and good company whenever your schedule aligns. Schedule: Multiple sessions hosted weekly across various days & times (Daytime & Late Night Pacific Time) Who can join: New players welcome, veterans welcome, everyone welcome. https://discord.gg/4ARUcvPNH

LGBTQ+ friendly
The table is openly welcoming to LGBTQ+ players.
The world of Phelun is an old one that has seen many conflicts throughout its history. While times seem peaceful, beneath the surface there are whisperings of the Dragon Queen stirring within her prison, strange events occurring upon the continent of Ines, and adventure awaiting upon the lost continent of Asoris. This is an 18+ only server that is a mix of go at your own pace pbp and west marches living world elements.  https://discord.gg/X8dFsNrjBw This is a new Server that has been worked on by one DM for 3 months. It currently features the following:     PbP forums for those who prefer slower RPs.     Living world channels where characters can explore the lands or meet one another in real time in the pub.     DM run Tables. (We are looking for more DMs to help run tables)     Mining, gathering, fishing, and exploration through Avrae commands (commands are ready, but random tables need to be filled out more for variety).     Random in game daily events (not tied to irl days, and still being worked on).     Market to buy items.     Guilds (will need leaders).     Job command to earn coin and a living world channel to RP the work in. (currently being reworked)     Custom Drinking command for the pub.     Player housing.

Blood Sun

Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
Roleplay focused
Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
Everyone is welcome to the blood sun guild. Here we are beginning to have one shots, potentially campaigns, and we hope to also be a community where everyone can be friends. In the blood sun we have one shots based of the lore of the blood sun religion (rp). Missions can vary from defending towns from enemies to going against strongest enemies in the history of blood sun. This isn’t just normal stuff where you would be playing a normal character while these enemies are stronger and get more and better abilities, the blood sun members who participate in the one shots get Homebrew blood magic, abilities, and features. For everyone you can ask me for 1-2 unique abilities your character only would have. As for the campaigns I mentioned those would be longer missions (round 2-5 sessions or a bit more) or can be alternate realities of the blood sun like one I am currently running where it is weaker than ever. For the Homebrew magic and stuff I plan on using this website called Nemesiscodex where I can directly import the Homebrew stuff. PLEASE DM ME ON DISCORD I DONT CHECK HERE

Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
Jormundy Platform: D&D 5e, Avrae, Discord Format: Text RP, westmarches, living world The sun has died in the sky, and the world has gone dark. This event, known as the Sunfall, bathed the world in the freezing night. Yet, against all odds, civilization has survived. Amongst the icy plains, amongst the glaciers, amongst the giant snow drifts and amongst the ruins of a world millennia lost, stands the glowing spires and the shining beacons of Jormundy. Warmth and light shine down from its towers, and its dome shelters it from the cold, dark world outside. But this light and warmth does not radiate equally. Under the dome, cloaked by the light, behind the walls lays a structure caught in a nightmare of development. Jormundy is experiencing its own little industrial revolution, and all the inequality that comes with it as it destroys the land it sits on and the air it breathes. It finds itself segregated into layers, its workers destined to never become anything more, its elites clinging onto power forever. The Hearth Church stands atop it all, watching with one first of velvet and another of iron looming over all, locked in a never-ending scramble to destroy all that is heretical. But discontent grows. Whispers of solidarity stir in the shadows, forgotten gods find their followers, and the night grows ever colder. What shall become of Jormundy? /// What we offer: - A roleplay and story focused server with good-quality. Story arcs, events, multiple dms, and opportunities for PC arcs. - A custom xp system, where you can earn xp simply by roleplaying - A massive, fully fleshed out city state for you to explore - An active political scene; scheming nobility, powerful industrialists, an ever-present church, shadowy cults, and the whispers of labor in the smog of the factories - A ban on generative AI, to ensure your time and effort is respected. - An LGBTQ+ friendly environment. - Extensive review of content as it is released; we're always updating our approved content list! It's expansive. Something calls, whether it be the riches of the Heights, or merely a desire to survive. Either way, Jormundy would love to have you. https://discord.gg/NwZbxscAZ2

18+ group. Game is everyother week for Saturdays, Fridays could be weekly but games will be posted as DM has availability.  Series of 1 shots, may turn into A West Marches style if players are reliable. Looking for mature, relaxed players who enjoy joking around while still staying engaged with the game and giving everyone room at the table. Depending on the adventure, games may include mature themes, horror, violence, dark humor, and adult language. Before joining the group, I’ll set up a quick 1-on-1 Discord chat to introduce ourselves and make sure expectations/playstyles are a good fit.

House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
Welcome to the City of Rivendale, a costal city to the east of West Yaliosta. You are a member of the special police force known as The Guild, serving as the main line of defense of the city in case of monster attacks, cities trying to take ahold of the routes of Cardanite, or The Spell Breakers. Hi! Head Dungeon Master Diana/Ang here, i wanted to set things out: This server's for ages 16+, so no explicitly sexual or gore content allowed. There will be weekly encounters or "Missions," or smaller ones refereed to as "Bounties." The city is divided on different districts, each district being a category, with zones or buildings on those districts being channels players can roleplay in. The setting is steampunk-coded urban fantasy. I have no Beyond Books cause i'm poor as shit, so i suggest using Dicecloud, Infernote, or other similar websites compatible with PbP. You will be subject to play testing of my homebrew for a future project, you are also encouraged to help with lore and rebalancing. If you wish to be a DM, you'll first run a few bounties and help with other players' plotlines, and if i (or we) like how you handle it, you will be able to join the DM Team.

Adult
The table is for players who are 18 or over.
Hello future DM!    I have a West Marches campaign and Discord server that I have been running for a few years, and I am looking for additional DMs to help balance the workload and generate more creative ideas on how to advance the plot, somewhere around 3-4 DMs for a planned ~20 players. I have a considerable amount of lore, resources, past player history, and other information to draw on for a DM of any experience, more of which I can follow up on if you, the reader, is interested. Feel free to bring along any players you might want to, we always take more at the table. This game is a West Marches campaign, played episodic style in a low/mid fantasy setting, with a central city and vast reaches of wilderness for the players to explore, with a 1/3 split between roleplay, exploration, and combat. If creating and assisting with the running of sessions, injecting your own ‘spin’ on the game, and forging the future of the world sound interesting to you, please reply to this post or send me a message here, either works. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you might have regarding the game or the mechanics of a West March, if you are unfamiliar. I look forward to speaking with you all!  Thank you, Vibrs

West Marches / Living World
One world and a big pool of players, but no fixed party - whoever signs up that week is who plays.
Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
The city of Intrica lies between Poland and Germany; it was founded over 500 years ago and stands tall today. However, it has not stopped suffering its trials and tribulations. Its current one is a black hole blotting out the sun over the city. The black hole, however, is not just a black hole; it is a pocket dimension known as "The Great Selection", a Battle Royale created by an adversary of the city known as "The Silent". Within this grand Battle Royale, the winner would exit with all the powers of the other participants, meaning that if any of the very malicious beings inside of it were to win, it would spell ruin for not just Intrica, but maybe even the entirety of Europe. It is up to the agents of the Arcane Enforcement & Global Intelligence Service, aka A.E.G.I.S., to break into this battle royale and turn the odds in favor of the participants who are friendly to this world. After all, you can move a mountain if you do it bit by bit. Join the A.E.G.I.S. today, and have access to the following: Flexible character creation and development, starting at level 3, with point-buy ability allocation and dual-classing permitted. Train additional feats, tools, and language proficiencies, and craft equipment to suit your PC. Adopt and raise a variety of pets. (Note: we use 5.5E) Socialize with other players and explore the story of the city of Intrica, with up to three PCs per player to see different perspectives of the tales of our play-by-post modern fantasy setting. Engage with twists and turns of storylines that play out across missions, bounties, and encounters within town. With the DMs, bring your character's plotline to life. Every official content book in 5.5, and some partnered content, more of which is up for approval. Homebrew player options may be accepted after review, and you can expect the unexpected during encounters crafted by our DMs! All of this will be done through Discord. And if you are interested, please do join here: https://discord.gg/pUd4Ks7EX Thank you. We hope to see you soon. (Final notice: we consider ourselves an 18+ server, but that is not because we are an NSFW RP server. Due to sometimes dark and gruesome subject matter, we prefer that any member joining be 18+. Thank you for respecting that if you read this warning and realize you are not in that category.)
