In Dragon Heist, you'll embark on a thrilling urban adventure that combines deep mysteries, thrilling chases, and high-stakes social encounters. Whether you're uncovering hidden conspiracies, forging alliances with powerful factions, or matching wits with deadly villains, Waterdeep offers endless possibilities for clever roleplay and tactical thinking. This is a branching adventure with multiple paths to explore, ensuring that every decision matters. Your party will interact with a rich cast of unforgettable characters, both new and iconic, each with their own secrets and agendas.

Additional Details
How to prepare
You will need a mic, Discord for voice chat, and a D&D Beyond account.
What I provide
I have access to a decent selection of books on D&D Beyond, including the brand new 2024 Player's Handbook, and will get a Master Tier subscription so I can share these with you. We will use Roll20 for our VTT. Combat will be quick, dynamic, and intense. I like to embrace the Rule of Cool and say yes to players who want to try something outside the bounds of the rules.
