About the adventure
Some jobs require more than simply wielding a sword or slinging a spell. Whether it’s procuring a well-guarded item or obtaining crucial information from an imprisoned contact, these tasks require careful planning and flawless execution. The secretive organization called the Golden Vault specializes in hiring crews for such jobs, and for the most daunting assignments—pursuing fabulous treasures and stopping dire threats—that crew is your characters. Keys from the Golden Vault™ is a collection of 13 short, standalone DUNGEONS & DRAGONS® adventures designed for characters levels 1–11. These adventures can be placed in any setting, and you can run them as one-shot games or link them together into a campaign. This book also includes in-world maps to help players plan their heists, plus advice for running nontraditional games with high risks and huge rewards.

About me
Header art by Xy https://twitter.com/xylavie Howdy there! I am a professional actor with experience in both voice-over as well as musical theatre! My hobbies outside of TTRPGs include video games, and singing. I've completed 16 campaigns (ten modules, four level 1/3-20 campaigns, and two home-games), ran 1,100+ sessions online and in person, and I have 8,500+ hours on Roll20 since 2018. A taste of my voice acting range: https://www.kevincouto.com/ A feel of my tables: https://youtu.be/_zBgfGHD35w My Stream Clone Wars Campaign: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnhAe1iC6P5AaXONG1s_6BQY6QVW2vC2F I started playing tabletops with D&D around late 2017 and fell in love with it. As time has gone on, I've learned my way around more systems and my friends were encouraging me to dive into DMing for them, and here we are now! I currently run a Star Wars 5e stream campaign set during the Clone Wars called "Revenge of the Crit" that's over 90 episodes and counting. My favorite thing about DMing is being able to collaborate and come up with a compelling and fun story with a variety of players. It's also a great outlet for me to practice all these voices and storytelling. I am all about making a campaign experience not only suited for the group but will also leave everyone satisfied. Most of my experience running and playing is with either D&D 5e or Star Wars 5e so either of those systems would be the systems I use for the games I offer. I look forward to sharing memories with you at the table! ❤️

Creating your character
Anything from the official source books is fine, all homebrew is subject to my approval. Refer to the game notes for character level and starting magic items. For generating stats, you may use either standard array, point buy, or one of the additional following options: 7·9·11·12·15·18 8·9·11·13·15·17 5·6·8·16·17·18 7·9·10·14·16·16 Backstories can be however long you wish, preferably not more than 2 paragraphs. A google doc, word doc, or however you wish to write it, long as is it pinned in our personal DMs for me to revisit should I need to. For HP you may take the average or roll for it. I allow rerolls on 1s and 2s
Paty currently consists of Level 5: - College of Spirits Bard - College of Valor Bard - College of Sword Bard - Illusionist Wizard
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Have a decent quality Mic, Discord, a D&D beyond account, and Roll20. No additional software is necessary. Players can roll physical or digital dice (though digital is slightly prefered). A character sheet via dnd beyond or roll20 is required.
What Kevin Couto brings to the table
I will provide maps for when combat is occurring, at all other times we will use theatre of the mind. I also use a music bot to add further immersion in various scenes. I also provide quality voice performances to enhance the characters, monsters, and environment.
Homebrew rules
- Drinking a potion for yourself can be an action or bonus action. Force feeding a potion to an ally is an action. - Any healing from spells (with a casting time of one action) or potions outside of combat is automatically maxed. - Grapple checks use Athletics v Athletics OR Acrobatics not STR or DEX Saves. - Flanking grants a +2 bonus to the attack rolls, not advantage on attack rolls. You cannot gain the flanking bonus if your adjacent ally has a negative condition. - Silvery Barbs and Simulacrum are banned from use. - The Legacy version of Inflict Wounds is ok to use with 2024 rules. - Stealth checks are made at a point in time when you can be caught, not before. - Multiclassing prerequisites can be ignored. - Any 3rd party homebrew material is not allowed without express permission. - Milestone leveling.

How Kevin Couto creates a safe table
I will provide a Consent form as well as a Session 0 Checklist for the player to send back to me so that I am aware of any do's and dont's for sessions. In the session 0 we will go over details such as what the party might have been up to prior to the start of the adventure.
