Waterdeep Dragon Heist

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

To most inhabitants of the Realms, Waterdeep the Mighty, the City of Splendors, Crown of the North, is a place that has 'always been there'. It is a vast and colorful, tolerant and eclectic crossroads city where peoples of all hospitable species, lineages, cultures, & proclivities, meet, and the most wondrous and exciting works and achievements are seen. Waterdeep is seen as the cradle of, and foremost in, invention and innovation in the creative endeavors of all cities in the Sword Coast lands and perhaps in all Faerûn. A city of such wonder, guarded by the great Dragonward of Ahghairon, consecrated by dozens of divine temples, and home to powerful adventurers, can be sure to have deep secrets and gleaming treasure to match. Even now a rumor of vast riches fill the minds of sea ward nobles, dock ward fisherman, and field ward swindlers alike, nobody knows where the gold rests but all are sure it's within the city, just within their grasp.

How to prepare

A discord and roll20 account are all that is truly necessary, would greatly prefer a reliable mic and audio set up but as long as I can understand you and there is no echo, we're square

What I provide

I've run this campaign twice and it's been an absolute blast, incredibly flavorful, and uniquely different. I've complied plenty of additional resources for a more in depth experience and love to expand the story beyond what is written in the book to chase player development. It's also quite possible to push these characters to 7th level by the end of the module and several personal changes, as well as take them into another, higher level, adventure afterwards.

Gameplay details

We will be using discord as the communications platform and Roll20 as the virtual tabletop. Message me for the appropriate links and looking forward to rolling with you!
