About the adventure
Waterdeep: Dragon Heist is a refreshing spin on high-fantasy adventure. Substituting wild fronteirs for a splendorous urban setting, players will explore wretched sewers, haughty mansions, and treacherous back-alleys. Pitted against many dangerous villains in the hunt for a lost treasure, the players must use their wits and be daring to find all the clues and reach it first! This fast-paced, high-stakes urban adventure is perfect for those new to Dungeons and Dragons, 5.5 edition as well as experienced players. The module strikes a good balance between game mechanics and roleyplay. Stealth past guards, talk your way out of trouble or smash the lock and hope for the best as Waterdeep: Dragon Heist allows for a wide variety of gameplay. A friend in need is a friend indeed; work with, or against, various factions present in the city. Make firends who can open doors, grant magic armor and weapons to aide your search; but remember to pay back your allies lest they turn to enemies! Tired of living out of your backpack, tired of sleeping on the hard-cold earth? Leave your mark on the City of Splendors and set up a bastion using the 5.5 edition bastion mechanic! If intrigue, action, and gold interest you; sign up today!

About me
Hello, my name is Max! I've been a mostly DnD player for five years, GM for one year. I live in New England and am an engineer by trade. I became a fan of fantasy when I picked up a copy of Oblivion in the early 00's. I got into DnD during the pandemic and fell in love with the hobby. I love exploring enchanting realms, meeting interesting characters and immersing players in a living, thinking world.
