Somewhat belated introduction

For those who don't know, a West Marches style game is one built on exploration, collaboration, cooperation, and the knowledge that creatures you face may be far too powerful for you right now and may need to be faced another day. Or perhaps a certain door or puzzle cant be completed until you get something from a different location and have to return.
Now when I say collaboration, that is because West Marches games tend to have multiple people running the game: multiple adventures happening at the same time in the same world. Through talking to other PC's you can learn more about the world and what structures and locations are about. Perhaps you all collaborate to start building a map of where you are.
Posting frequency will be based on whatever the DM sets in their posts on the Notice Board.

For the most part, I'd be giving you free reign of your adventure. This is a collaborative game so I'd allow you to have some say on how the world works and what wheeling and dealing is going on in the shadows. I'd have the final say on those things just in case. The same would go for any magic items. I don't want some uber powerful item being used by player-friend and it starts an inter-player war.
