About the adventure

💡 Beginners of both D&D 5e and Play-by-Post welcome! 🏰 Explore Waterdeep, a city as treacherous as it is marvelous! 🕵️‍♀️ Unravel the mystery of The Great Heist! ⚔️ Face memorable enemies from foul monsters to assassins to politicians! Join us in the magnificent city of Waterdeep, the City of Splendors, and engage in The Great Game, a race to find a trove of treasure hidden somewhere in the city. Will you uncover it before someone else can? Along the way you'll discover the wonder and beauty of this vast city, meet memorable NPCs, and battle memorable foes in a vast array of urban scenes. In the end, perhaps you'll love Waterdeep so much you'll make it your home for good. New to Play-by-Post? No problem! It is a low-stress, highly-rewarding format and I'll help you every step of the way. [Play-by-Post] Do you want to join a campaign but your availability prevents you from committing regularly? Does engaging at your own pace throughout the week without the pressure of the moment and with access to live chats with your Dungeon Master sound appealing? Well you're in the right place! The Play-by-Post (PbP) format is nearly as old as D&D and is a rewarding way to engage in this fantastic pastime. While it is true that the comradery of the kitchen table is lost in PbP, you gain the ability to plan without pressure, to refine your roleplay, to research your actions. And many see Play-by-Post as more immersive than live games, that the Theater-of-the-Mind is more easily engaged without the distractions of half-decent accents, the bell of midnight quickly approaching, and the smell of aging nachos. *Note: This adventure is Play-by-Post and will be conducted throughout the week at your pace. While live check-ins with me are available, the lion's share of the adventure will be conducted in RoleGate and Discord channels where we will also store concept art, maps, a compendium of magic items, a room for chit chat, and more. Please send me a message if you'd like to know more.

Additional details

How to prepare

You'll need a device like a phone or laptop, of course. You'll also need an Account with Discord. Maps will be shared by me through Owlbear Rodeo. Come with a rough idea of what you want to play but be flexible. If you're a beginner, let me know and we can work on this together! We'll use D&D Beyond for characters and rolling but you'll need to take your own notes.

What I provide

I'll provide a campaign link for D&D Beyond where I will share all character options from every publication (purchased by me). Character art, maps, notes, NPC info, etc. will all be housed in a Discord server I manage. I'll run maps but use concept art for most exploration and roleplay..

Gameplay details

We will have a Session 0 in a Discord server devoted to that. I'll ask players to look at the Consent Checklist and let me know where they stand on the items within (publicly or privately).

How will character creation work

We will have a Session 0 where we get to know one another, discuss the "truths" of the campaign, share our character concepts, and build character bonds together. We'll plan to come away from Session 0 with a number of questions to flesh out in order to more deeply flesh out our characters and bonds. I'll follow up on those questions throughout the first week to support you.
