About the adventure
A full adventure campaign in the City of Waterdeep aimed at players who are comfortable with the basics of dnd. You will have the opportunity to build a life for your character in Waterdeep in a rich world full of opportunities, along with the chance you might get very, very rich if you are really lucky and the stars align. The City of Waterdeep is ruled over by The Open Lord supported by The Council of Masked Lords. In the shadows rival gangs hustle for space and jobs. The Harpers try to maintain balance and Force Grey keeps a watch ready to step in with martial power to keep the peace. The Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors has eyes everywhere with constant research, and the Guilds of Waterdeep are dedicated to improving life and profits in the city. Somewhere in the city it is rumored the previous Open Lord has hidden a massive treasure in golden dragons, stolen from city funds, but no one knows where, maybe its just a rumor and the gold went with Dagult when he disappeared or just maybe you are going to get rich! A roleplay heavy game with minimum of 3 players required and with a maximum of 5. This campaign will be run in discord, with dnd beyond. A combination of theatre of the mind and on screen maps. No AI is used in my art for campaigns, bespoke new professional art is provided each month by Qui Gon Jim aka James Gray alongside my more basic interpretations.

About me
Hi, Im Vijay, I have been running online games since 2020, and in person since 1995. I prefer to run cooperative adventure, exploration and problem solving games. I enjoy theatre of the mind, and I can offer vtt maps for some games and online visuals. I have run games at expos and events as well as online games for large companies as team building exercises. My favourite games are smaller groups of 3-6 players. I use a loose 5e system, with room for heroic acts and storytelling if you can convince me and the dice back you up then almost anything is possible. I ask all participants treat each other and myself with kindness, and respect each others off limit topics. Im heavily influenced by The Mabinogi, Atlantian and Arthurian legends, Homer and Virgil in my homebrew games. Off limit list for all games: All romance scenes above pg will fade to black. Animal cruelty/abuse Sex/sexual assault scenes Please message me with off limit lists if you join my game so I can prepare appropriately. Confirmed for Canterbury GameCon Medicine and a Message, from The Ichber Adventures. Confirmed for Dragonmeet 2025 Afternoon slot running Silkenstorm - the mystery of the missing stallion, based in the forgotten realms, between Waterdeep and Longsaddle. Frostcon 2026 - Adventures in Waterdeep Canterbury Gaming Con 2026- adventure tbc. Arts Award gaming based training available for under 25s Outside of gaming I enjoy cosplay, larp, theatre and making sure Barchimedes of Iloveus my spaniel gets to live his best life
