Valor's Edge New Player Guide

A Roleplay-Focused Westmarches Campaign

What Is Valor’s Edge?

Valor’s Edge is a roleplay-focused Westmarches-style campaign where player actions and decisions shape the evolving world around them. With a shared universe and storylines influenced by a massive player base, each session leaves a lasting impact.

What sets us apart?

• Massive Scope – Over 60 players take part in the same living world, advancing storylines together.

• Persistent Setting – Now in its fourth campaign, Valor’s Edge (as part of the Greenmarch Universe) builds directly off the choices, consequences, and legends created by players before you.

How to Join

New to the world of Valor’s Edge? Getting started is easy:

What Does It Cost?

Your $15 session fee includes:

• A full evening of gameplay with an experienced DM

• 1 Gacha Token (usable in-game for rewards, rumors, or visions)

• Access to the store’s D&D Beyond campaign and sourcebook library

Creating Your Character

Starting Level

New characters begin at Level 6, but levels may shift over time.We recommend giving the store a quick call to confirm before your first session!

Ruleset & Source Material

We are currently using the 2024 Player’s Handbook only.

• No additional books or homebrew sources are allowed.

• There are no house rules at this time - we're running the 2024 rules as written to better understand the system before making any long-term changes.

Character Sheet Requirements

Your character must be added to the store’s D&D Beyond campaign after your first in-store session. We’ll help you get set up if you're new to the platform!

Factions & Backstory

While factions no longer determine your play night, they remain deeply woven into the world.

• You’re welcome (and encouraged!) to tie your character’s backstory to the Sovereign Concord or Dread Dominion.

• If you’re unsure where to start, your DM can help you find a place in the world that fits your concept.

What to Expect on Game Night

Session Basics

• Sessions run approximately 3 hours and are led by one of our experienced DMs.

• You’ll be grouped with 3–6 other players for that night’s adventure.

• Most sessions are self-contained, but the actions you take will ripple through the wider world.

Roleplay First

Valor’s Edge is a roleplay-forward campaign. While combat and strategy are present, expect:

• Plenty of in-character dialogue

• Moral dilemmas, faction politics, and shifting alliances

• Meaningful choices that affect the story world

New to roleplay? Don’t worry - we’ll meet you where you’re at, and your table will help you find your voice.

What Should I Bring?

• A Level 6 character created using the 2024 Player’s Handbook

• A phone or device with access to D&D Beyond

• Dice, a notebook, and a pencil (optional but helpful!)

• Your curiosity and creativity - this is your story too!

The Gacha Machine

Each player receives a Gacha Token per session, usable at our Feywild-themed Gacha Machine. Tokens might reward you with:

• Rumors, visions, or story leads

• Magical consumables

Every token draws you deeper into the world - and you never know what you'll get!
