About the adventure
Ahoy! Welcome to a short heist adventure that is part dungeon-crawler, part roleplayer. You'll need to think on your feet if you want to get out alive and rich - whether that means guileful sneakery, talking your way in, or ruthlessly efficient combat tactics is up to you. We'll be starting at level 7 and likely be staying there for the duration of the adventure. We'll be beginning with a session 0 in which we'll create characters, fit them together, and connect them into the homebrewed setting. Speaking of which... 💰💥🗡️🪙 The Bank of Dragons is the most secure bank in the city of Dragonswing. The gnomish mafia want in, and you're in no position to say no. You have 48 hours in which to get in, fill a bag of holding each, and get out. You'll need to choose which of your contacts to leverage, and which to disregard, before you make your move. Succeed, and not only will you be rich beyond your wildest dreams, but you'll also clear your debt to Don Spramble. Fail, and you'll never see the sun again. May Hermes guide your hand...

Meet the Game Master
About me
Ahoy! I'm a professional DM and voice actor who's been playing for 11 years and running games for 9. At my table, you'll find games with an emphasis on roleplaying and fun, but that doesn't mean leaving your combat brain at the door either. For a taste of my standard British accent narration, check the Youtube link to my voice reel below. I consider myself a capable teacher of the game, having introduced dozens of new people to it over the years. To facilitate this, every adventure is tailored for the players - before each campaign begins, we'll talk through the kind of story you'd like to tell together, and how that squares with what I've got prepared. I approach D&D as a collaborative storytelling exercise, so while I have an extensive homebrewed world and adventures ready, every player has the chance to dictate the nature of the world they're playing in. As for the world itself, if you like pirates, greek gods, elements of the forgotten realms cosmology, and a tone shooting for somewhere between Tolkien and Pratchett, I'm the Dungeon Master for you!

Creating your character
Your team are down on their luck, in deep with the Gnomish Mafia, and may well have their own reasons to pull of the heist - infamous burgalars, idealistic vigilantes, underfunded wizards, and corrupt nobles could all find themselves involved in this adventure. We'll be starting at level 7, creating characters using roll4drop1 stats. All core and expanded official WOTC races and classes are fine, but run any homebrew past me before setting your heart on it. We will also be running a session 0 to go further into character creation and help anyone who needs it to get their head around the numbers. Feel free to message me with any questions :)
🪙Breaking the Bank of Dragons is a D&D 5e (2014) game starting at 7th level. 🗡️If you're looking for an entertaining and unpredictable campaign run by a professional British voice actor, you're in the right place. 🪙 We're hoping to run our first session on 23/07/25, or as soon as we get enough players. Hope to see you there :) 🗡️ Once we're ready to start, we'll hold a session 0 to get to know each other, create characters and test them out, see to last minute safety tools, and develop relationships between the characters and the world.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Before session 0, all you need is a webcam, a mic, a discord account, and somewhere to create your character - a paper sheet, dnd beyond, up to you. Before session 1, you'll need a roll20 account, an image for your character token, and some understanding of at least the rules that pertain directly to your character (their race, class and background for example).
What Benjamin brings to the table
🪙 I encourage in-character roleplaying, player choice, and creative choices. Expect an engaging story that you have a say in - give me a backstory with a couple of colourful characters in it, and they'll more than likely crop up somewhere in the adventure. 🗡️ I run the game on Discord for speaking and Roll20 for combat. 🪙 I make liberal use of in-character dialogue and encourage players to do the same. I also encourage players to argue their cases for things like unorthodox skill checks, however ask that they respect my final ruling. 🗡️I use background music for those who want it, but one of the reasons I run games on discord is that it can be turned down or off individually. I can supply pdfs of all core rulebooks and some snazzy character sheets. 🪙 And, finally, I'm a professional voice actor, so expect high-quality narration in terms of both content and sound quality - check my DM profile's Youtube link for some sample narration!

How Benjamin creates a safe table
Session 0 will involve character creation, and a discussion of any triggers players might have for one's own character and the game in general. The game itself will largely be story driven, but that doesn't mean you won't have think tactically and rely on your companions when you do get into combat. Fun is what we're all here for, and sometimes nothing is more fun than a well-applied fireball.
