Vault of the Peerless Prism [2024 PhB] - 5e Heist Campaign
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Three families vie for control of the City on the Mountain. Blood on the streets. Whispers in dark passageways. Plans hatched in marble majlis. Murder and theft are nothing more than moves in the Great Game. The common folk do their best to survive. Will you be their champion? Or fall off the mountain, another victim of the scheming from the precipice? Vault of the Peerless Prism is a Swords and Sorcery campaign using DnD 5.24 ruleset, with heavy themes of seedy politics, Machiavellian social maneuvering, and cutthroat thievery. Combat is rare but lethal. The politics are less rare, but no less dangerous. Morality is grey and no choices come without cost. Pull up the hood of your cloak, sheathe your dagger in the sole of your boot, and join the party! Welcome to Threshold, where the mask you wear might obscure more than what lies beneath it...
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.
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.

Additional details
How to prepare
You will need an account on DnD Beyond, which we will be using for character sheets and battlemaps. In addition, you'll need a Discord account and a microphone. Webcams are optional but heavily encouraged. All of these (excepting the microphone) are completely free and no paid content is required. All sourcebooks are available and provided once you have access to the campaign.
What I provide
This game is running using the brand new 2024 PhB! Legacy content is allowed, but I'm excited to try out the new rules with all of you! If any player has a character concept or idea that is not compatible with 5e, I am happy to work with you to build a homebrew option that is balanced and conceptually consistent.
Gameplay details
Gameplay will be heavily roleplay focused, with thrilling heists, assassinations, and political missions. Combat will be infrequent but the consequences will always be severe for either victory or defeat. Session 0 will cover the rules of engagement as well as lines and veils. Essentially, in case you're not familiar with the terms, we'll lay down the expectations for what will and won't happen in the game.

How will character creation work
Players begin with characters at first level, using the new character creation rules in the 2024 PhB! Homebrew content is possible, and if you have a solid idea for a character that you'd like to play out we can work together to create something that will fulfill your vision. Stats will be rolled during our first session, after which we will put together a shared background for the party.
