Westmarches is a Tabletop Format that demands organization and clarity
Picture this: three Dungeon Masters, six factions, a dozen hexes, and thirty players scattered across the map.
They’re all trying to run a West Marches campaign together—ambitious, glorious chaos. But their “hub” is a shared Google Drive folder called something
like:WestMarches_Shared_Lore_FINAL_(actual)_USE_THIS_ONE_v2
Inside? A mess of folders:
- Session Notes
- NPCs (old)
- NPCs (new)
- Maps > maybe outdated
- Region lore – Matt’s version
- Backup folders (don’t touch)
- And of course… “Stuff to Sort”
The DMs are pinging each other constantly:
- “Hey, do you remember what we called the tavern in Hex G2?”
- “Did you update the goblin warlord’s name in all three places?”
- “Wait, where’s the new version of the player map?”
Even worse, players are asking for documents that only one DM has permissions for. Or worse… someone overwrote the wrong file.
❌ Google Drive Wasn’t Built for West Marches
West Marches campaigns are different. They’re:
- Decentralized
- Asynchronous
- Massively multiplayer
- And deeply reliant on fast, accurate, accessible lore
Generic cloud storage isn’t enough. You end up with:
- Broken links between locations, NPCs, and quests
- Duplicate files from simultaneous edits
- No meaningful way to filter, tag, or link lore dynamically
And when your world’s growing faster than you can document it? That system breaks fast.
✅ Enter: westmarchesgame.com
