Hi All, I made a post a few weeks back and overwhelmed by the responses, and definitely missed a few interested parties. With that in mind I figured I'd throw it out their again that we still have some space left in our West March. We are always looking for new folks with whom to play and are happy to have anyone join, whether they are a beginner or a 20+ year veteran player that started with AD&D. We are 4 weeks in to the West March style game with a persistent world and still have room for more players. I figured I'd make another post here and see if anyone is interested in joining and making some new friends. We also have pop-up one shots every week or so that tie into the larger world, as well as other DMs running their own content and occasionally recruiting for their longer games. I'll post the introductory lore below for the West March, but if you’re interested, add me on Discord Sage#6124.
Intro for the West March:
Our campaign takes place within the Forgotten Realms. A war has erupted within the Moon Shae Isles as Lady Elriza Daressin has begun to expand her reach outside of Snowdown. At first the prevailing powers along the Sword Coast paid no mind to the vampire's ambition, but as time went on the area continued to destabilize and the conflict began to affect the main land's interests. In recent months these events have come to a head, and it's become clear that the once quiet ruler of Snowdown has grown impatient with her agreement with Amn and has found new, more nefarious allies. 68 days ago, a Masked Lord of Waterdeep was killed in his sleep in the Castle Ward, a hired group of adventurers (Campaign 1) paid to protect the lord failed but managed to chase the Vistani assassins as they fled. The assassins were believed to be in possession of a Ring of Mind Shielding that captured the soul of the masked lord as he drew his final breath. The adventurers were last seen chasing the Vistani into a heavy fog and have yet to return.
Since the initial assassination, one by one, the other masked lords have disappeared or been found slain. Laeral SIlverhand, the Open Lord of Waterdeep, has put word out through her contacts to assemble a willing party that will serve as a vanguard in the coming war (Campaign 2). Soon enough the Open Lord alongside the sitting Blackstaff and the Harpers assembled their so-called vanguard to lead the war effort. Unfortunately, the group has struggled to achieve much of anything since setting out. Their initial attempt to acquire resources in a newly discovered dungeon left most of the party dead; only two members survived and made their way back to Waterdeep with only sadness and failure in tow.
While the more altruistic powers allowed their forces to prep and attempt to acquire greater power before setting out, the Xanathar’s Guild, alongside a few other nefarious organizations, persuaded some would-be pirates and thieves to set sail for the war immediately (Campaign 3). Sadly, this group has also failed to deliver anything of note. Their escapades have for the most part been futile, finding only small personal success along the way.
After nearly a month of repeated failures, the adventurers who chased the assassins into the night nearly a month ago have returned to Waterdeep. They brought with them the soul of the Masked Lord as well as a somewhat worse for wear Mordenkainen. With their newfound power and resources these adventurers (Campaign 1), have reformed the vanguard creating The Aegis: The Shield of the Sword Coast. Since its creation, The Aegis has successfully reached the Moon Shae Isles, established relations with the port town of Cobh, and set up a forward operating base a few miles west.
As soldiers you will make the journey to Cobh and report to Captain Rem at the newly established base. Here you will work with other newly enlisted adventurers to help further the war effort by taking on quests and missions laid out by those that came before you. Moreover, you are encouraged to pursue other leads, investigate unexplored areas, and support the larger effort by however you see fit. There are no squabbles or rivals here, only brothers and sisters in arms.
Soldiers of the Sword Coast, welcome to The Moon Shae Isles.
Definitely a nice balance, about 60 -40 RP/Combat. I would say most of the players are fairly into the RP side of the game, most try to do a voice and flavor their interactions accordingly.
Definitely interested! I'll send you a request on Discord.

Started playing in the 80s, when 2nd Edition was just coming out. Been away for a while, but I'm looking to get back into it. I'd love an online game on the weekend, or an in-person if you're in Eugene.
All of the games run in voice chat, but there is a fair amount of text RP and downtime activity that occurs between the players and NPCs outside of the formal games.
As one of the mods on the server and a player in the West March, I wanted to throw in a good word for these guys. Not only have I gotten to be part of an incredibly creative and engaging story, I've met an amazing community of people who I genuinely enjoy spending time with. I'm continually impressed by the DMs of this game, and I highly encourage new and experienced players alike to join.
This seems like exactly what I need! I've sent you a friend request. How much time has passed in-game since you posted this? A few friends would like to join with me if we are still able!
This seems like a fun and interesting campaign! Definitely interested in the RP aspect of things as well as exploring and investigating different bits of knowledge the party might uncover...and any consequences that might bring. Sending a request your way!
I would very much like to take part in this adventure!

Soldiers of the Sword Coast, welcome to The Moon Shae Isles.
I'd love to! As a question though, is there a nice balance of both RP and Combat? Do the players do a good amount of flavor?
Definitely a nice balance, about 60 -40 RP/Combat. I would say most of the players are fairly into the RP side of the game, most try to do a voice and flavor their interactions accordingly.
Awesome! Sent you a Request!

Is this text based or more voice or a mix?
All of the games run in voice chat, but there is a fair amount of text RP and downtime activity that occurs between the players and NPCs outside of the formal games.
