About the adventure
This is the perfect "intro to D&D" game. Starting at level 1, there will be endless opportunities to role play and experience exciting combat encounters. This adventure takes place in the famous city of Waterdeep in the "Forgotten Realms" setting of D&D. It is a high-fantasy, high-magic, low-technology setting and this game will introduce you to plenty of classic D&D lore. This is an urban setting with lots of elements of mystery. Your characters will become local legends as they navigate the city and the political intrigue that arises throughout the course of the adventure.

About me
I've been playing and GM'ing roleplaying games (with an emphasis on Dungeons & Dragons) for over 10 years. I enjoy high-fantasy with elements of magi-tech. Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, and Devil May Cry are some of my favorite game series.

Creating your character
Using dndbeyond, please create a character using standard array or point buy for ability scores. For classes, species, backgrounds: please use any published D&D official material (no homebrew). We will use a mixture of 2014 and 2024 rules. I have the 2024 Players Handbook (as well as some other books) shared to the group on dnd beyond, so all of that content will be readable if you join the D&D Beyond campaign below.

What Nate Beals brings to the table
I have the book for this adventure, so you will experience the written game. I will do my best to do interesting character voices to immerse you in the story. I will provide interesting maps and pictures to help immerse you as well. I know the rules as written very well, but I like to bend the rules if a character comes up with a cool or creative idea.
Homebrew rules
Flanking gives advantage on melee attack rolls. Drinking or administering a potion can be a bonus action or a standard action. If you use your action instead of a bonus action, you will get the maximum amount of healing. Heroic Inspiration can be used in both the 2014 way and the 2024 way.
