Tales of the Wildermark is looking for more players!

We’re an exploration-based play-by-post roleplaying campaign, using John Harper’s World of Dungeons game and the Tavern Keeper play-by-post site. The setting is a fantasy world where adventurers, eschewing a corrupt “civilization”, set out into the unexplored reaches of the Wildermark.

This campaign features:

A short and simple (three page) ruleset

An easy-going, lackadaisical pace

Red Pandas and plant folk as playable species

Dinosaurs! 

Mantis Shrimp people

Pig-faced orcs

Lots of hidden secrets and history

Sound like fun? Here’s how to join:

1. Head over to Tavern Keeper and sign up (for free, naturally)

2. Head to our campaign page and Request an Invite

3. I’ll send you an invite and walk you through Character Creation

4. You can either start an expedition or join up with one that’s about to head out! 

Mortio sat it in the taproom, cleaning his fingernails with an arrow head, looking around for likely people to join him on an outing outside of Vallation. He was running low on funds and he had enough to get food for another week or so or enough to get a torchbearer to accompany him for a few days. He was looking to line his pockets a bit. But he had barely made it to the town and knew how dangerous the surrounding environs were.

But he had been waiting for a while. And he was getting a little thirsty. He held up a hand and flagged down a serving woman. "Can I get a pitcher? Something cheap?" he asked, flashing a little of his remaining coin. He leaned back in his chair, his short, dirty cloak trailing the floor, and kicked his feet up onto the table, then laced his fingers behind his head, and waited some more.

Looking for more players!

Tales from the Wildermark is a play-by-post RPG campaign in the “West Marches” style (meaning, an exploration-based hex-crawl with a large revolving cast of PCs). We’re looking to add some players!

The game is being played primarily on Tavern Keeper, a site designed to facilitate play-by-post games. You can see our campaign page here.

For expeditions with one Player Character, we can also use Tumblr Messenger!

We’re using John Harper’s free 3-page RPG, World of Dungeons

Adventures are player-driven: you decide where you want to go, and what you want to explore!

Trotting over, he sets down a note on the table before burrowing back underground

“Hell again friends, do not worry, the water spirit turned out to be a friendly Naiad. I have currently set her up with a good friend of mine, a spirit of Ice and Wind, so we’ll see how that goes. In less lighthearted news, it appears that a large, yet unknown number of orcs have made cast to the east of the forest. I will attempt to scout them out, but I fear I will not be able to take them in direct combat. To any who read this, your assistance would be appreciated, and if you do not hear word from me, as usual please come to retrieve my corpse”

Hey all. I’m finding Rolz chats to be a bit too fast-paced for my schedule, so I think I’m going to be cutting back on them a bit. Instead, I’m going to be setting up Wildermark on a play-by-post site. There are three sites I’m considering at the moment: 

TavernKeeper

Gamers Plane

MythWeavers
