About the adventure
Waterdeep: Dragonheist is an exciting urban adventure designed for characters starting at level 1 and progressing to level 5. Set in the bustling city of Waterdeep, this campaign offers a rich blend of social encounters, puzzles, intrigue, and skill challenges. Players will navigate a complex web of factions and secrets while hunting for a hidden treasure. Ran of course by me, Joey The DM. You can see my reviews showing my renown for immersive storytelling, dynamic roleplaying and imaginative descriptions. On average, completing the Waterdeep: Dragonheist campaign takes approximately 15 to 20 hours of gameplay. This can vary depending on the group's pace and the depth of roleplaying and exploration. Waterdeep: Dragonheist is open and welcoming to beginners. I'm considerate and kind, dedicated to helping new players learn the ropes of tabletop roleplaying. Whether you are new to Dungeons & Dragons or tabletop RPGs in general, you will find a supportive environment where questions are encouraged and guidance is provided throughout the adventure.

About me
Hello, my name is Joe, I'm 29 years old & I have been a DM for the past 7 years running both games online through roll20 & in real life. I have had overwhelmingly positive feedback from my many players which has prompted me to start hosting games on here. I am a fair & enthusiastic DM who promises a compelling story with a clear, concise narrative with plenty of whacky characters & voices along the way. I'm confident 2 sessions & my stories will have you hooked, however if I'm not the DM for you I understand & so I would like to offer the first 2 sessions of any campaign I run for free so if you aren't satisfied with my DM'ing, you haven't wasted any money. Don't be shy, say hello & let's embark on original & unforgettable adventures.
