About the adventure
From Waterdeep’s streets to Undermountain’s depths Start with secrets and stolen gold. End with survival far below the city. • Dragon Heist puts you in the middle of a treasure hunt. Factions pull strings. Crime bosses watch. Every ally comes with a price. • Who you back changes what doors open. Some stay shut. • Dungeon of the Mad Mage drops you into Undermountain. A stacked dungeon full of traps, strange magic, and things that should not be there. • Push deeper if you dare. Each floor hits harder than the last. Street deals. Dungeon danger. One long campaign from level 1 to 20. Start small. See how far you make it. [[Beginner & LGBTQIA2S+ Friendly]] -------------------------- 📣See what Tony has to say about my DM'ing: ⭐"Wow, what to say, 101 sessions in. Leland has been a fantastic GM, He's patient, kind, and knowledgeable about the system we're playing. I look forward to the days I get to "sit" at his table. He's become a fast friend as well. I knew from the first session when I joined his Saltmarsh campaign that I was in for a ride, and here I am 100+ sessions in now. Cheers to many more to come! Of you're having doubts about joining one of his games, know that you're going to have a fantastic time and maybe make some lifelong friends as well."

About me
Hey everyone, it's me, Leland, aka Leopold the Just in most social media spaces! I’ve been deeply invested in tabletop RPGs since the start of the millennium, & I still love every second of every game I run or play. Aside from that, some of my other interests include going to music events, board gaming, playing strategy & RPG video games, camping, traveling, eating delicious food, learning more about science & art, getting tattoos, going to aquariums & museums, & much, much more. As a GM, my storytelling focus is on strange events, haunted & horrific places, emotional buy-in & consequences during roleplay, & NPCs you won’t forget. I run everything from cozy slice-of-life games to bleak horror, sometimes both in the same session. If you love group storytelling & want to play in an immersive world that feels alive, then I’m the right GM for you. --- What to expect at my table & in my community: • Sessions with a strong narrative focus on character development • Action-packed, descriptive combat that keeps you on the edge of your seat • A living world where NPCs react & evolve based on your choices • Shared storytelling that includes everyone, with collaborative worldbuilding that lets you leave your mark • A chill, inclusive space where everyone is welcome & every identity is valued • Exclusive $5 community one-shots for active members, bringing players from across tables together for fresh stories & shared adventures • Regular community events: exclusive access to my discord video game streams, board game nights, video watch-parties, & a live Kenku FM radio station; all to offer recreation during downtime between sessions So go ahead & pull up a virtual seat. Let’s tell some stories together!

Safety
How Leland House Jr. creates a safe table
I'll have everyone submit lines/veils/interests via DMs, then I will distribute a pdf document for the other players to have on hand or have it as a handout in the VTT of choice. Then we'll go over them during session 0, along with making characters and doing some collaborative storytelling to establish relationships between said characters. I typically post a custom agenda the day before session 0 begins.
