Jarpo's Jesters Presents: Waterdeep - Dragon Heist & Mad Mage, Levels 1-20

About the adventure

Waterdeep: The City of Splendors! From the Yawning Portal tavern and its gaping pit containing a labyrinthine dungeon shunned by all but the most daring adventurers to warring factions feuding over access to a secret dragon's hoard worth of gold, you'll be hard pressed not to find both the absolute zany and mysteriously mystical scenarios. This is a 2-in-1 offer, two official published adventures from Wizards of the Coast. Waterdeep Dragon Heist and Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage. It's got horror, high fantasy, crime, mystery, dungeons and sometimes hilarious elements incorporated. My style of play is quite similar to Matt Mercer's delivery: Silly voices, descriptive narration in and out of combat, and atmospheric music!

Gameplay details

This is a campaign that is more roleplay heavy for the first 5 levels (dragon heist) and more combat heavy for the rest (mad mage). Of course, table variance can dictate how much RP and combat is involved no matter what. I will always defer to the table's choice when it comes to roleplay and combat. There could be sessions of entire combat, puzzles, riddles in the later levels. On average, you can expect about a 70/30 or 80/20 ratio, depending on the table's style after level 5. As we are playing on either Roll20 or Foundry, you can expect the combat to often be tactical, allowing each of you to carefully plot your next turn! This game is rated R for intense graphic descriptions, horror elements, harsh language, and uncomfortable situations like slavery and imprisonment; it contains the following themes: • High Fantasy • Horror • Supernatural • Humorous • Gritty • Gang War The following safety tools are available during play: • X-Card - A tool that allows anyone to edit out any content anyone is uncomfortable with as we play. Since most RPGs are improvisational and we won't know what will happen till it happens, it's possible the game will go in a direction people don't want. An X-Card is a simple tool to fix problems as they arise. • Open and Inclusive Conversation - While the X-Card is useful, it is not a replacement for conversation. If you prefer to talk about an issue that comes up instead of using the X-Card, please do!
