Waterdeep: Dragon Heist

About the adventure

A hoard of gold worthy of a dragon, yet the treasure can be yours if you heed the call to adventure! Embark on a caper within the City of Splendors, Waterdeep. As you plot and enact your heist, learn about the secrets that hide in the shadows of the city. Can you beat Waterdeep’s villains to the gold and take it for yourself? This campaign runs from level 1 to level 5. It is suitable for both beginners and experienced players. We will make characters together in a session 0 before the game starts. This game takes place over Discord and Roll20.

Additional Details

How to prepare

Platform: We will be using Discord and Roll20 for this game. No webcam is required. Experience: There is no previous experience required. While familiarity with the D&D5e rules can be helpful to start with, I will be able to share and support with any rules or mechanics as we go. If you are new to the game and want to review the rules in advance, please let me know and I can direct you to some quick guides to get you started. Hardware: A working microphone Bring your creativity and be ready to have fun!

What I provide

I will be sharing the core sourcebooks as well as many other supplemental D&D5e books with you through Roll20 for creating your character and throughout our game. On Roll20 you will see my custom battle maps for our combats and encounters. Additionally, I provide art that I create to enhance in-game descriptions of locations, monsters, and NPCs.

Gameplay details

Please note that this game contains mature themes and there will be depictions of violence, blood, and other possibly distressing content. It is important to know that there will not be any explicit sexual content at our table. If there are any topics you are concerned about, please let me know in advance of the first session. If issues or topics come up during the games that you are not comfortable with, please message me privately so we can resolve the situation as quickly and discreetly as possible. To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all players, I use the following safety tools: - Session zero to discuss concerns and boundaries before the game begins - Lines and veils to identify sensitive topics and content to avoid - Open door policy regarding any concerns you have We will go over some rules in the session 0 document that stipulate what is and is not acceptable behaviour at the table as well as any homebrew rules being used. My tables run with a lean towards "the rule of cool"- if you can make a good argument for something, I'm likely to go along with it (given it is not disruptive to others in the group). My goal is a fun, safe, and cooperative environment at the table, where every player gets time in the spotlight.

How will character creation work

Your characters will be created during session 0 on Roll20. We will be using standard array for stat points. All published official material for D&D5e is allowed, and if there is any third-party content you are interested in using, please send it to me in advance of the session 0 to review. I will be able to help and answer any questions you may have about character creation. During session 0 you will also have the option to discuss with the rest of your party members any connections you wish to have between your characters prior to the game, if relevant.
