My Fantasy Urban: Waterdeep Dragon Heist! (BIPOC🌈All)

How to prepare

Aside from an adequate computer, browser, microphone, and internet connection, our games will be played Via Discord and Roll20, so you'll need accounts for those. Webcams are optional, but encouraged! I also have all the books for character creation on DnDBeyond, so you can create your characters there too. You'll need the Chrome/Firefox extension "Beyond20" installed, which sends your DnDBeyond rolls into our Roll20 room for us to see. You can also use physical dice instead if you wish! A good understanding of the rules for Dungeons & Dragons 5th (2024) Edition is recommended, but not required. Because this is a very roleplay and investigation heavy campaign, I require good teamwork skills, cooperation, and good communication. Our games will be played in English, so you will need to be fluent. Aside from your character sheet, I'll also need a PNG of your character, ideally their face. I'll be making them into tokens, or you can make and send me the art as tokens yourself. Please do your best to show up 30 minutes early if you can. This is so that if we need to discuss any details before we start, we can do so.

What I provide

Our sessions will be played on Roll20. We shall have maps, tokens, and music through Discord.

Gameplay details

Campaign Primer (with Graphics!) - https://docs.google.com/document/d/18yifVdj9l6rAmJivR-ye85z2sVPT1GycFCSxAq6-sc0/edit?usp=sharing The main plot is that you are a not-quite-famous-yet band of heroes funded by the great (or so he claims) author, Volo Volo (of Volo's Guide to Monsters and other books). We will be using the D&D 5.5e / 2024 ruleset, and you shall be starting at Level 4. While the opening quest is quite simple, once that's over and you're established as a team and given a base of operations in the city, the campaign will dive right into the investigation of the Dragon Heist! But while investigating the Dragon Heist, you’ll have to deal with relationships and roleplay! With your Tavern, you'll each be able to man a Tavern Station and Hire Staff. Build your friendship with your Co-Workers as you work under the great Volo Volo! Also! Expect Tavern Shenanigans within the sessions! No we won’t be bogged down by math, but I do want the Tavern to feel Alive and Real, along with all your Co-Workers/Paramores! I’ll be sure to prepare every session’s series of events ahead of time so we’re not spending 30 minutes scratching our heads rolling on tables. These sessions will definitely be less that and more like watching a RomCom that you get to BE in, all while exploring a rich, gripping, well crafted narrative as the backbone! There will also be combat, and the battles will always tie into the story and push the plot further. Content Warning: Fantasy Violence, Bars and Ale references, PG Romance, Fantasy Substances (for Plot!), Legal Courtroom Battles, Fictional Politics, and Fighting/Conflict of Fictional Groups/Factions/Peoples, and Fire. Note: This game is mostly a "Railroad" from Zac Oyama's Definition See - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ9tlq86bHw

How will character creation work

Character Creation Any of the official books, and you can reflavor/reskin the races/feature if you like (Homebrew may be allowed on a case-by-case basis) Multiclassing is an optional rule I allow for certain characters who have specific stories they want to tell that don't quite fit a monoclass. Ask me about this! Level 4, Point buy for Stats! and Average HP Start with Starting Class Equipment + 500 gp and you can have specific custom items for free as well if its relevant to your backstory. And Instead of Alignment, you'll be choosing something called a "Fate". See Discord for more info! We're playing to Level 10 ish.
