West Marches Campaign Guidebook

This handbook is your guide to running and playing in a West Marches-style campaign.  Inside, you’ll find clear, practical advice on preparing sessions, running the game, and embracing character-driven storytelling.  Designed as the foundation for the West Marches series, it explains the principles of open-world play and shows how to set up a campaign that thrives on exploration and player choice. It also connects seamlessly with the Game Master Workbook, Party Ledger, and Player Journal, giving you a complete set of tools for every level of West Marches play.

However, in full transparency, I use AI tools during early drafting and editing. I fully support the work of human artists and writers, and this book reflects that commitment.
