Dragon Heist: A Game of Intrigue and Mystery
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Welcome to the port city of Waterdeep. Whether you were born here, or if you're from somewhere else along the Sword's Coast, Waterdeep is full of mystery, intrigue, and holds a hidden reward of one million gold. Can you get to it before the rival factions in the city do, or will another group take over the city with the wealth?
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
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.

How to prepare
Please have a mic, look over any rules if you're unfamiliar with them, however I will explain things anybody has questions about, discord needed, but no dice necessary unless you wish to use physical dice.
What I provide
I will bring a copy of the adventure book, and send out copies of handouts that would be given at a table before starting our session 0. I will also have a few premade character sheets for anybody who does not wish to create a character.
Gameplay details
A free session 0 will be held one hour before the first session, it will be a time to get to know each other and our expectations for the campaign including any limits or things that should be avoided, along with time to create characters and backstories that will intertwine with the other players' backstories. Sexual encounters along with drugs and alcohol may be allowed if everyone consents to it being in the game. If at any point any player needs to talk to me privately they are more than welcome to do so, and also at the end of games we can debrief and discuss what happened during the session if anybody needs as well.
