Concept[]
A brave band of delvers, operating out of Polisberg, explore the varied terrain of the West March. They collect rumors, research myths, piece together ancient maps, and traverse the wilderness looking for lost empires and forgotten peoples. Then they kill them and take their stuff.
The group meets online on Mondays from 5pm until 9pm Central Time (USA, GMT -600 usually). Lurkers are welcome and should contact Mark Langsdorf, the GM, at mlangsdo@io.com for information on how to get in on the game.
Setting[]
The West March is the savage and unconquered land between the cities of the East and the strange civilizations of the West. It is normally considered the land south of the Antillan Sea, between the borders of Polisberg on the east and Shigrad on the west. The Silk Road runs between the two citadels, mostly unguarded and unsafe except for the Abbey of Last Resort.
The Mystical Properties of the West March are complex and constantly changing.

New Campaign Wiki Editing[]
I'm going to post some initial setting information here on the wiki. Beyond that, nothing -- you guys will have to discover the rest in-game. If you want to use the wiki to take notes or keep track of setting information you discover, I heartily encourage that; feel free to contribute whatever you feel like.
To make it easier to create New Campaign pages, I made two templates:
- When linking to a page about hobgoblins, use {{WM|Hobgoblins}} instead of [[Hobgoblins]] or [[WM/Hobgiblins]].
- At the bottom of every page, put the {{WMCat}} instead of [[Category:West Marches]]. (It's quicker to type, too.)
(Note that those templates use squiggly braces { } not square brackets [ ].)
Remember that it's easier to reorganize existing info than to organize non-existing info, so if any of this page-link-stuff confuses you, it would be a better use of your time to just start typing on some existing page and let someone else move stuff around later.
Something Different[]
As a break, the group is also experimenting with Monster Hunters.
