About the adventure
If you're new to roleplaying games, look no further. This campaign — and this Game Master — will guide you every step of the way. Waterdeep is a city of endless streets, gilded towers, and shadowed alleys. Splendor masks the rot beneath, and wealth always comes at a price. You and your newfound companions meet in a tavern — but this is no ordinary tavern. The Yawning Portal is renowned as a gathering place for adventurers of all kinds. - Who will you talk to? - What will you drink? In this campaign, your characters aren't heroes — they are the protagonists. Each has a goal, carries secrets, and is ultimately flawed. The choices these characters make will shape how the adventure unfolds.

About me
Hey there 👋🏼 I’m Kade, a professional Game Master on StartPlaying and the Dungeon Master behind RoleFour, a live D&D actual play on Twitch.

My games focus on immersive roleplay, balanced with meaningful exploration and cinematic combat.

Creating your character
We'll create characters collectively during Session Zero - a session dedicated to setting expectations, discussing safety tools, and aligning our characters goals to form a cooperative adventuring party. Session Zero will include, but not be limited to, joining a voice + video discord call, using the link provided to access the Roll20 VTT, setting expectations, discussing Safety Tools, then dive into character creation. Characters will start at Level 1, and progress through to level 5 by the end of the campaign. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message me.
This campaign is coming to an end but we have a brand new Curse of Strahd campaign taking its place - check that out here: https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmmnfl9w500h5jv04vjo9vqhs
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a stable internet connection, as well as headphones, a mic, and a webcam (I use my smartphone). As well as a Discord account and a Roll20 account — both are free.
What Kade brings to the table
In return, you'll get a patient and friendly Game Master, who knows the rules and has years of experience helping people learn the game. You'll also get access to the game materials necessary for an awesome campaign.

How Kade creates a safe table
During session zero we'll discuss any topics that are out of bounds. At any point a player feels uncomfortable, the can pause the game. We can then either discuss, or simply skip over whatever was making them feel uncomfortable. This is a joint hobby after all, and it's much more fun when everyone feels safe.
