About the adventure
If you like schemes, strong character arcs, and the feeling of your party punching way above its weight, this is your playground. This campaign throws you from back‑alley heists to giant‑sized war.Start as small‑time fixers in Waterdeep, taking shady jobs, flipping clues, and outplaying gangs and nobles while you hunt a stolen fortune hidden beneath the City of Splendors. Your choices in the heist—who you trust, who you cross, what you do with the gold—decide which factions back you and which paint a target on your back. Then things shift towards the epic as we shift gears to ending a world-spanning threat.

View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
We use DNDBeyond or Dicecloud to create characters. We will be using the Discord bot Avrae for rolls, checks, saves, etc. Don't worry if you don't have experience with these things, I am happy to help guide people through. I also have Tupperbox, which players can use if they'd like, though this is not a requirement.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Discord account and either a Dicecloud or DNDBeyond account (all of which are free).
What apheline brings to the table
I run an active D&D PbP server where you can chat with other players. There will be In-Character and Out-of-Character channels as well as channels for maps, resources, party loot, etc. We may also use a virtual tabletop such as QuestLine. You will never have to pay for extras, VTTs, etc at my table.
Homebrew rules
I am happy to work with homebrewed or non-standard D&D materials as long as they aren't game breaking or make the game less fun for others.
