Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Dungeon Crawl
A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!
Welcome to the Hidden Hand, operative! We are a secret organization intent on keeping the balance of power neutral throughout Oerth and Greyhawk through subtle missions that may or may not be, strictly speaking, legal. We're currently at Level 3, preparing to seek out an ancient, eldritch tome that has fallen into the wrong hands... This is roughly a playthrough of Keys from the Golden Vault, with significant modifications and homebrew mechanics designed to create a smooth, flowing, and cinematically entertaining heist campaign set in the Free City of Greyhawk and surrounding regions.

How to prepare
All players must have a microphone and a relatively distraction-free environment. Ideally, all players also have a working web cam and are willing to use it. Games will be played in Roll20, with character sheets and die rolling taking place on D&D Beyond. Players should have a Roll20 and D&D Beyond accounts prior to game start time.
What I provide
I provide everything else you will need to have an amazing gaming experience!
Gameplay details
This game includes themes common to heist settings, and is generally considered a PG-13 game, with a caution for live play. Players can expect a fair and moderately paced adventure where they can explore a modified version of the Keys from the Golden Vault module, including additional missions, resources, and campaign-unifying plots. I tend to lean a little heavier on roleplay, and ask that players get into their characters and have some fun with them. We will be starting this campaign from level 1, and the campaign is open to all. I encourage those who may have little experience but want to try a longer campaign to join us.

How will character creation work
Players will be able to create characters using the core books only: - 2024 Player's Handbook - Xanathar's Guide to Everything - Tasha's Cauldron of Everything - Mordainkainan's Monsters of the Multiverse Players can start developing and building their concepts right away, but we will come together during Session 0 to discuss how the team came together and finalize the character concepts. Players are urged to remember the focus of the campaign is on heists, so skills, problem-solving, and versatile characters will be most useful, though players are also encouraged to use different classes from each other to maintain a well-balanced team.
