The West Watch is our forum for the continuation of an improvisational open-ended storyline created ad-hoc by the members of the forum playing their characters. The characters are derived from those available under the LW RPG d20 game by Mongoose, with some non-canonical additions. The timeline of the forum is set in MS5100 onwards, comfortably after the LW and NO GM gamebooks to allow new heroes to flourish.
The West Watch started as an in-character set of letters between forum members, who had acquired through the RPG shop feature of the old forum a set of boats, thus forming the Kai Fleet to augment the Sommerlund Navy. This little exercise quickly expanded into a huge improvisational RP storyline taking on heroes and villains from all over Magnamund in a set of contained storylines and over-riding arcs. Some writers write alone with their own stories, acknowledging the world, while others carry on existing story arcs and collaborate with fellow writers.
If you are interested in participating in the West Watch, read this thread for more information and ideas for joining.
For a summary of the storylines, read this thread which contains an overall summary, and detailed summaries of each chapter.
Owing to the loss of the previous TotS database, the previous West Watch chapters and 'Story Of...' were lost. Chapters 1 to 15 have been recovered and will be slowly released in an easily readable format on this thread. The "Story Of..." threads will be recovered as idividual members repost. Note that chapter 16 will probably remain the 'lost chapter' and only available as a summary.
