"Waterdeep: Dragon Heist" is one of the most exciting and novel of the official modules released for D&D 5e. It is an urban adventure focused on investigation and intrigue. Waterdeep is an exciting city full of wonders, but, at the same time, a city of great danger. As newcomers to the city, the players will have to tread carefully, trying to make allies and stay on the right side of the law, while a gang war threatens to tear the city apart. Waterdeep is the most diverse and accepting city on the Sword Coast, and all manners of both mundane and phantastical people make it their home. It serves as the perfect introduction to the world of the Forgotten Realms, the decades-old campaign setting that is the home of countless D&D role playing adventures, video games, and novels. Rogue drow, rebellious tieflings, gutsy goblins, and gentle firbolgs, everybody is welcome in the City of Splendor. This campaign will appeal to players that enjoy a rich, lore-heavy, living world to interact with. There are many powerful people in Waterdeep and their intentions are not always clear. Choose your friends carefully, and seek allies that will look out for you, or risk getting caught in a web of intrigue and deception where betrayal is inevitable. The module is fairly slow-paced, with characters remaining in the heroic tier (levels 1 to 5) for most of the adventure, which might not appeal to some players who enjoy the power fantasy of the upper tiers. We will be using Roll20 for character sheets, maps, handouts, etc, with the official Dragonheist module, and Discord for communication. You will need a (free) Discord account. I am always available to respond to any questions or concerns! This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of $US19/session, payable through the StartPlaying website. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements.
