About the adventure

This is a great game for fans of Baldur’s Gate 3, even if you’re new to tabletop gaming. Waterdeep Dragonheist is set in the late 1500s DR after the events of Baldur’s Gate 3. The previous Open Lord stole a bunch of gold and hid it away, and now all the factions and guilds of the city want to reclaim it for their own ambitions. Main factions you can join… šŸ’ø The Zhentarim, a shady mercantile organization with dark history 🌿 The Emerald Enclave, druids dedicated to protecting nature 🧿 The Xanathar Guild, a notorious criminal organization headed by a beholder āš–ļø The Harpers, a secret organization dedicated to fighting evil 🩸 The Cult of Asmodeus, devil worshippers who bargain for power šŸ“ā€ā˜ ļø Bregan D’aerthe, swashbuckling drow led by the famous Jarlaxle

About me

Well met! Since I could pick up a pencil, I’ve been a huge fan of telling stories. Creating characters, breathing life into them, all of that is so much fun. Introduction to Baldur’s Gate 3 led me to falling in love with the Forgotten Realms, and I’ve been having a swell time creating stories there now. I enjoy inhabiting the world and giving players a backdrop to portray their own stories. While my experience so far has been with Dungeons and Dragons 5E 2024 and Old School Essentials, I’ve enjoyed my time playing and DMing both systems and have fallen in love with the gameplay.

Character creation

Creating your character

Here's how you'll make your character. You'll create your character in DNDBeyond for ease of building, then the character will be imported into Foundry. ✨ Roll for stats (using a special bot on the discord server), point buy, or standard array - your choice! ā­ļø 2024 Rules āš”ļø All published Wizards of the Coast books and DNDBeyond partnered content that I own on DNDBeyond are welcome. Region content is not locked (so you can use Eberron, Dragonlance, etc. content) but please be ready to reflavor the content to Forgotten Realms! šŸ”„ Characters start at Level 2 šŸ¹ One common magic item to start with (that isn't a weapon or armor) All of this information is available in the Discord server when you join. Most importantly, make a character you will enjoy playing, and one that’s interested in adventuring and working with their party to accomplish their shared goals!

The current party

Lv 2 Bard Lv 2 Druid Lv 2 Druid Lv 2 Barbarian Lv 2 Artificer This is a creatively-minded, roleplay focused group that likes to interact with NPCs, each other, and their environment. They’re great at following plot threads!

What to expect

Preparing for the session

We will be using: šŸŽ² Foundry VTT šŸŽ§ Discord šŸŽ­ D&D Beyond You will be invited to the discord when you join :)

What Cy brings to the table

šŸŽ­ Exciting roleplay opportunities and a chance to join one of the notorious guilds in Waterdeep šŸ—ŗļø An excellent VTT with neat maps and ambient music. I have subscriptions to many map-making, animation, sound effect, and music Patreons that I integrate into the experience. āš”ļø Exciting combat that's optimized on the VTT to be quick and efficient, so you're not waiting a long time for your turn to come back around and can focus on the fun part - battle tactics! šŸ’Ž Enough loot that you won’t be starved for gold and items, with defeated enemies being lootable on the VTT āš–ļø 2024 RAW (Rules as Written) šŸ“• Lots of books on D&D Beyond to customize your character and no region-locking as long as you're willing to reflavor the content to Forgotten Realms

Homebrew rules

🧪 Drink a healing potion as an action to gain the full effect, or as a bonus action to roll for effect 🧨 Explosive Crits give you max damage on your first damage roll, then you roll the extra dice and add them as usual āš”ļø Flanking is permitted. You must be opposite the enemy to receive flanking bonus, which gives you advantage.
