About the adventure

A hidden treasure hoard lies somewhere in Waterdeep—and everyone wants it. You’re thrown into a tangled web of masked lords, street gangs, and scheming villains, where every ally has an angle and every step might trigger a war. 🎲 Urban Intrigue Unleashed: Investigate, infiltrate, and outmaneuver in the City of Splendors. This is a sandbox of secrets, with danger in every alley and coin behind every curtain. 🎲 Choose Your Villain: Four different antagonists mean no two campaigns play the same. From devil princes to crime lords, the city changes with who’s pulling the strings. 🎲 For Players Who Love Roleplay and Schemes: Social encounters, clever plans, and chaotic consequences define this heist. The treasure is just the beginning.

About me

I’m a full-time GM with a tech brain and a storyteller’s instinct. I run clean, well-prepped games with a healthy dose of improvisation and just enough chaos to keep players guessing. I love throwing players into situations they’ll definitely survive (probably). Also: unapologetically committed to terrible accents, delivered with great enthusiasm.
