Howdy! I’m Drew, and I’m the administrator of a Socialist West-Marches DnD 3.5e Discord Server, the Axe and Sickle! The server is over a year old, has a dozen DMs, over 30 active members (and over a hundred lurkers), and hosts an average of 2 or 3 games a week. The game has an old-school, traditional fantasy feel.
Devastated by an unknown catastrophe centuries ago, the Ohm Basin is home to naught but monsters and outlaws. A retired adventurer from a foreign land has founded a town in the middle of it, and adventurers - such as yourselves - file into its tavern, the Axe and Sickle, to secure their own fortune! Plunge ancient depths to uncover lost secrets, thwart necromancers who build their strength away from civilization, and compete with fellow grave-robbers to loot forgotten tombs!
If you don’t know what a West Marches Game is, it is a style of DnD game where, rather than a static party that meets regularly and follows the DM’s campaign, the players themselves choose who to adventure with (and when to meet) for a single expedition before returning to town and disbanding. This is good for players with inconsistent schedules and interest, as it is an extremely low-commitment game. You don’t need to set aside any time in your schedule for this game on a permanent basis; just pick a time and day that works for you, one session at a time. And if you have the energy for anywhere between two games a week to one game a month or even one game ever, you can be accommodated.
The only things required are a Discord account and a mic. Prior DnD experience is not; everyone is welcome. For now, all games are run in English. The game is a safe space for Socialists but anyone is welcome as long as they aren’t disruptive.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. We’ve recently expanded our DM team and are looking to run even more games than we do now, but to do that we need more players. We’d love to have you!
No wait you’re leaking one of my meme sources
Might have to check you folks out, I have actually been looking for an online TTRPG to get into. Never actually played any TTRPG despite always wanting to from listening to a couple actual play podcasts (mostly Friends at the Table), but unfortunately I literally don’t know a single person who plays. I have actually been poking around stuff the last week or so trying to find a place to play online.
Feel free to. The goal of the way we organize our games is low-commitment. After an hour-long onboarding process with one of our GMs, you can apply for any game just by clicking a discord react, and there’s never an expectation that you attend games regularly.
At the moment we have a massive DM team but relatively few super-active non-DM players, which is the opposite problem most West Marches servers have.
it is good, you should join
Are y’all still going?
We’ve been going for 3 years, we’re going to be going into the foreseeable future.
yes
