About the adventure
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to travel through this totally normal looking portal to… acquire the target. The golden vault anthology is a series of self-contained heists. The structure of a typical heist will look like this: 💼 - The Brief - Where your Patron briefs you on the mission, before you step through a portal to meet your local contact. 🗺️ - The Plan - Where you have time to scheme, plot, and do some reconnaissance. 🪓 - The Execution - Where you put it all together, and make your move. 🎆 The Conclusion - Where you reap the fruits of your labor, for good or ill. In a slight twist on the adventures as written, this one shot has been adapted to a sci fi setting with the character creation options from Dark Matter 5e available for use.

About me
Hi there, my name is David, and I wear many hats: nerd, nurse, father and more, but on this website the crown I wear is that of a Dungeon Master! I specialize in running 1:1 duets play-by-post games, as well as high level tier 3-4+ play. I’m based in the UK and am broadly available to talk 8 pm- 12 pm UK time, which is 3 pm - 7pm EST. This is the time window that I write most my daily posts. My pricing varies by the amount of skill and time that go into a game, where simpler games such as starter adventures cost $40 a week, and more complex games like my level 20+ games cost $60 a week.

Creating your character
Characters should be created either on dnd beyond or directly in foundry. For the Dark Matter character options these are not supported in foundry, but I have purchased a compendium in foundry for drag and drop creation. Further explanation in my discord. Starting level will vary adventure to adventure. All official content is permitted, 5.5e rules used as default but 2014 options are still allowed.

Safety
How David creates a safe table
I will be using the RPG Consent Checklist as a safety tool, which players should fill out beforehand and send to me on discord. I also will talk to you 1:1 before we start about expectations, logistics and any safety concerns not covered by the checklist.
