Linked one shots, essentially. Individual DMs run story arcs, but they're broken down into one shot-sized adventure chunks.

@All,

I'm giving this a quick bump. The West Marches is a continuous recruitment game - everyone who applies can eventually join an adventure.

I'm adding a new spin to this "The Door." The Door is a virtual dungeon, where each trip through the Door takes the players to a new challenge. The challenges will be a mix of combat, puzzle/traps, social interactions, and anything my fertile imagination can dream up (or plagiarize from somewhere else). New players can join at the start of a new room and leave at the end of each room. I'll be balancing each room to take around 4-8 rounds/turns. At two rounds/week, a room should take about 2-4 weeks Real-Time (faster if the players are faster). I'm fine-tuning the time and concept, but around 5-6 rooms will allow the PC to Level up in the West Marches. The treasure will be equally spilt over the number of rooms.

New to Role Playing, DnD 5e, Open/Shared Worlds, and or play-by-post? No problems, I'll walk new players through every step of the process, and if you find that it is not to your liking, you can leave at the end of any room.

I’ve run about half-dozen Episodes (Room) of "The Door." The Door is a virtual dungeon, where each trip through the Door takes the players to a new challenge. The challenges will be a mix of combat, puzzle/traps, social interactions, and anything my fertile imagination can dream up (or plagiarize from somewhere else).

At two rounds/week, a room should take about 2-4 weeks Real-Time (faster if the players are faster). Five rooms will allow the PC to Level up in the West Marches. Characters get approximately 20% of the trasure at the end of each room.
