About the adventure
This campaign (or more specifically the Alexandrian Remix of this campaign, for those in the know,) lets players loose in the grand city of Waterdeep, where a city-wide hunt has begun for a hidden cache of unimaginable wealth, secreted away somewhere under our very noses! Players will come into contact with a great number of influential NPCs, and nearly a dozen powerful factions, all vying for the same prize, and must carefully decide where their allegiances lie, and who to trust. Will they join forces with the Lord's Alliance and use the treasure to gain good standing with the united cities of the Sword Coast? Or will they rise through the ranks of the Black Network and secure their place as rulers of Waterdeep's criminal underbelly? Opportunities abound in Waterdeep for those with the guts to sieze them, and the choice is yours!

About me
Hi friends! My name is Austin, I've been a professional theatre and TV actor for 20 years, and a role playing fan for nearly as long! However, when video game rpgs could no longer scratch the itch, I dived into ttrpgs in 2017 and haven't looked back. I've run many multi-year campaigns for friends, both in person and online, and I'm excited to make take the leap into professional GMing! Take a look at the Dream Roll Gaming channel on YouTube, a short-lived but very rewarding project I had with a few actor friends of mine. In those videos you can get a sense of my style as a GM. I prefer games with an open-ended world which sets problems for the player characters, and lets the plot unfold as a consequence of their behavior. If you are looking for a space to bring a character to life and to have a hand in crafting a world, I'm your guy.

Creating your character
We will create all characters during Session Zero to ensure that they fit well within the world and the campaign, and with each other. We will be using the 2024 Fifth Edition rules and rolling for stats. Feel free to come to Session Zero with concepts in mind, but refrain from building characters until we can do it together!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need accounts on DndBeyond as well as AlchemyRPG, and you will want to download the AlchemyRPG application. You will also be invited to my Discord server, but this will only be for fun and friends between games and won't be used during games. We will be using mics and webcams through Alchemy, so please have suitable tech for both!
What Dream Roll DM brings to the table
I will send you an invite for the campaign on DnDBeyond with full book sharing enabled so you can access all the options that I currently have purchased on the website for character creation.
Homebrew rules
I don't have any homebrew rules planned for this campaign.
