The Arcane Initiative, a modern day Adventuring Guild, has just been established under new international law in the western United States of America. One of many, these guilds are responsible for helping a newly industrialized growing world deal with the rampant effects of ancient magics and monsters.
Welcome to the Arcane Initiative! We're a new West Marches server that's aiming to offer something rare in the D&D discord server space, a living world modern 5e conversion! What's a West Marches server? It's a sandbox setting/format where a group of DMs post quests and any available players take up the request. All quests take place in the same world. In our case, this server is run in a alternate reality Earth similar to our own! While magic was abundant along with exotic races, it has begun to leave the world. Nations have been established alongside our world history, with countries grappling with a new world order of steel and technology alongside monsters and magics from the not-so-distant past.
What can you expect joining our server? Here's a quick rundown!
Simplified Resources: Rather than tracking downtime and magic resources, gold is the only currency used on this server. You don't have to keep an inventory of four different tables to interact with any systems on in the Arcane Initiative.
Living World:
The Arcane Initiative is set in a living world that gives DMs the right to help shape what's going on around the world. From small changes in the guild to consequential world events, players can look forward to interacting with a world that doesn't stay static.
D&D Modern, Spells and Swordplay:
While 5e has a few firearm rules, we've taken a balance pass to guns that give them their own unique feel while still keeping swordplay and magic relevant. Over the course of the server's lifespan, we'll be introducing plenty of modern gadgets and tools to help you fulfill a modern character fantasy. Maybe you're playing a gunslinger in it for the gold? Do you fancy yourself a modern day knight who wields a magical sword and shield? Our goal is to make sure that old D&D rules stay relevant in a new modern conversion to let you play all of the above.
If any of the above interests you, please give us a chance and join our discord! We'd love to have you!
I've already joined, a bit of a learning curve, but ultimately worth it. The setting is rather unique compared to a lot of DnD campaigns. I give it an 8/10.

Best Community with an amazing DM called Raiden. I don't know who he is and am certainly not biased but you should join because he is number 1. Go be in a Raiden game!
