About the adventure

"Join the Golden Vault: Heroes Beyond the Law" When justice falters and the law stands in the way of doing what's right, the Golden Vault steps in. This secretive organization assembles teams of skilled adventurers to tackle high-stakes heists, recover priceless artifacts, and right moral wrongs—even if it means bending the rules. What role will your character play in the team? Every member of a heist team brings unique skills to the table. Are you the smooth-talking Negotiator, the powerhouse Enforcer, the cunning Lockbreaker, the stealthy Infiltrator, the arcane Specialist, or the inventive Tinkerer? Whatever your talent, teamwork will be essential to overcome the challenges and defenses standing between you and your goal. Keys from the Golden Vault is a thrilling DUNGEONS & DRAGONS adventure anthology where daring heists and high-stakes missions take center stage. From recovering priceless artifacts to liberating the helpless, each mission tests your team’s ingenuity, strategy, and teamwork. With danger around every corner and treasures waiting to be claimed, will you rise to the challenge and prove that doing good is worth any cost?

If I could select all the tags I would, Trace is an amazing game master, wonderful about explaining the rules and setting the scene for their worlds. Both I and my wife look forward to playing with Trace and any game they make, the people they surround themselves with are also a huge advantage. The party for the campaign I am in is some of the nicest funniest, most engaging people and I can't get enough. I find myself wishing the sessions never end.

I only had a chance to play one game with Trace, but he ran a really good game. I handled a full party easily, and ran a huge fight very smoothly. My life got in the way of staying in the game, but I'll be keeping an eye on his games in future.

I've played 15+ sessions with Trace and don't plan to stop soon. If you're looking for a GM who truly brings D&D to life, look no further. Whether you're new to the game or a seasoned adventurer, Trace will guide you with ease, making the learning process a breeze for beginners while challenging experienced players in all the best ways. Their deep knowledge of TTRPGs and D&D ensures every rule is at their fingertips, allowing the game to flow smoothly while still offering plenty of surprises. Trace excels at encouraging immersive role-playing and fosters a real sense of group collaboration. Their combat encounters are not only efficient but also incredibly fun, keeping everyone engaged without losing the pace of the adventure. On top of that, Trace is a genuinely amazing person. Whether you're looking to embark on your first quest or seeking to take your role-playing to the next level, you won’t find a better DM than Trace. Highly recommended!

Trace is easily one of the best DM's I have had the pleasure of playing TTRPG'S with, starting with character creation and introduction they were extremely helpful and in no time at all understood exactly what vibe I was going for and helped me make it a reality. Their game knowledge of the source books and different classes makes combat run smoothly and RP come easily, their worlds are full of different and creative NPC's and creatures that makes it feel ALIVE and lastly their resourcefulness with map creation makes almost every situation we can think of a possibility! I highly recommend giving one of their games a try, trust me you won't regret it!
