An Inheritance of Knives: A Baldur's Gate Adventure

An Inheritance of Knives

A dead man has named you in his will. Unfortunately, you aren’t the only one.

When a wealthy Baldurian patriar dies under suspicious circumstances, seven claimants arrive at his Upper City estate, each bearing a perfectly legitimate will, and each convinced the fortune belongs to them.

Then, people start dying.

What starts as a deadly dispute over one dead man’s estate soon uncovers decades of crooked bargains, stolen fortunes, and carefully arranged deaths stretching from the mansions of the Upper City down to the docks of Gray Harbor.

And now you’ve inherited the evidence.

An Inheritance of Knives is an original Forgotten Realms adventure of murder, mystery, treachery, and urban intrigue, where every fortune hides a secret, every heir has something to lose, and the deadliest thing a man can leave behind is the truth. It primarily uses content from the Adventures in Faerun book and will take players from levels 1 to 10.

About the DM

Hey folks, you can call me Ryan!

I’ve been DMing since 5th Edition first came out in 2014, and I’ve been doing it professionally since 2020. Over the past few years, I’ve had the chance to run multiple different paid adventures for folks. I'm currently running 3 different Dungeons of Drakkenheim campaigns simultaneously, and now I'm expanding out into some other settings.

I’m looking for players who want to build a story together rather than trying to “win” the campaign. If you enjoy roleplaying, working with the party, making tactical choices, exploring a dangerous world, and getting invested in what’s happening around your character, you’ll probably fit in well at the table.

We’ll begin by creating characters together during a dedicated session zero, to make sure they work well together and fit the world.

Before applying, please take a look through the Apply Here section. It’ll give you a better idea of how I run my games, what I expect from players, and what you can expect from me and the rest of the table.

I’m looking forward to reading your applications, ducking around back alleys, and creeping through the halls of the Upper City in...
