Waterdeep: Dragon Heist
Waterdeep, the City of Splendors, is a bustling metropolis where danger and opportunity walk hand in hand. In Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, your party is thrust into a high-stakes race across the city wards to locate the Vault of Dragons—and the half-million gold pieces hidden within. From the legendary Yawning Portal tavern to the perilous dockside alleys, every shadow hides a secret.
This campaign is a masterclass in urban fantasy, shifting the classic focus from wilderness exploration to social intrigue, faction politics, and thrilling heists. The characters will cross paths with powerful organizations like the Zhentarim, the Xanathar Guild, and the sinister Cassalanter family. They will even have the chance to rebuild their own base of operations in the heart of Trollskull Alley!
Designed specifically for Virtual Tabletop (VTT) platforms, this module includes an astonishing array of over 200 intricately mapped environments. Whether you are staging a rooftop chase in the winter snow, a tense negotiation in a noble's manor, or a stealthy infiltration of a magical submarine, the visual immersion is unparalleled. Prepare your players for the ultimate urban adventure!
