If you’re looking to run or play in a Road West (West Marches) campaign, this repository is built to make your life a whole lot easier.
West Marches games are all about player-driven exploration, flexible scheduling, and a shared world where different groups can jump in and out. Instead of a fixed party and storyline, players organize their own sessions, head out from a central town, and explore a dangerous frontier, then return home at the end of each session. That style is awesome, but it also means you need good structure behind the scenes, and that’s where this repository comes in.
Inside, you’ll find links to essential guides, videos, and tools for building your campaign. There’s material on hexcrawls, open table play, random generators, and ways to structure downtime and exploration. Whether you’re just starting out or refining an existing campaign, this is meant to be a practical hub you can actually use at the table.
