Join a persistent, player-driven living world where your actions permanently shape the realm! We are running a West Marches-style city-builder campaign. Aside from our main storyline, there is no fixed party and no mandatory weekly schedule—you play when you want, choosing the missions that interest you most.
Can you help build, defend, and govern our growing settlement?

### 📅 Scheduling & How to Play

• The Main Storyline: Our primary campaign group, Copper's Crusaders, runs consistently on Mondays.
• Flexible West Marches Sessions: For everything else, our DMs will post upcoming missions and their scheduled times on the Quest Board. Anyone can RSVP to join!
• Focused Gameplay: Actual session time is strictly dedicated to the posted mission objectives.
• 24/7 Text Roleplay: Between sessions, unlocked forum channels are open for free, canon roleplay with other players and NPCs.

### 🏰 Town Building & Progression

• Fog Points: Surviving players earn "Fog Points" upon completing post-tutorial quests. These points are used to unlock and reveal new biomes on the main map.
• Upgrades & NPCs: Hiring and training quality NPCs will upgrade the town, unlocking new purchasable upgrades for your characters.
• Defend Your Home: Random Emergency Quests can spawn in our territory. Failing these will hinder the town! Players must prioritize building defenses, walls, and armies to minimize these threats.

### 🎭 Roleplay, Politics, & PvP

• Shape the Laws: Player characters will decide the fate of the town and how it operates. Once the town is "Defended" (walls built, government and church established), NPC relationship options unlock.
• Rise to Power: Want to be the King or Mayor? You can be—if the town agrees. Mutinies, shady deals, and political intrigue are highly encouraged.
• PvP & Duels: Player conflicts can be settled verbally or via a duel. Duels are to the death and require mutual consent from both parties. (Unsolicited attacks will trigger a special event!)

### 🎲 Notable House Rules

• Crunchy Crits: Critical hits deal maximum dice damage plus an additional roll. (e.g., If your normal damage is 2d4 + 3, a crit deals 8 + 3 + 2d4 = 2d4 + 11).
• Multiclassing: You must meet the 13-stat requirement for all your classes—including your starting class. If you don't meet the requirement for your first class, you cannot multiclass until you increase that stat.
