Welcome to Waterdeep
Famed explorer Volothamp Geddarm needs you to complete a simple quest. Thus begins a mad romp through the wards of Waterdeep as you uncover a villainous plot involving some of the city's most influential figures.
This will be the full Waterdeep campaign (Dragon Heist & Dungeon of the Mad Mage) run in the 5e system with pre-approved homebrew allowed. Game play will focus more on the story itself rather than on the game mechanics.
GROUND RULES:
1) This is a cooperative campaign. I have no objection to you playing your character as you feel best fits your vision but not at the expense of anyone else's enjoyment.
2) Characters, for the most part, will be expected to stay on task (i.e. - stay together); however, I will allow side quests as long as they fit within the game narrative as a whole.
3) Players will be expected to adhere to their character's alignment. There may be repercussions for alignment shifts.
4) I will do my best to not allow a TPK; however, it is incumbent on you, the players, to think critically and tactically before engaging in battles, during battle turns and/or fleeing if you have gotten in over your heads.
5) It is expected that you will post at least every other day (but no less than twice a week) unless you let me know beforehand that you will be unavailable.
6) The story will continue when all players post or after four days from the most recent GM post. If the continuation of the story requires input from a character without a post, a post will be made on behalf of the player by the GM.
7) If a player doesn't post (or contact the GM) for seven consecutive days, their character will become a NPC and may be reassigned to a new player.
8) Battle will be handled similar to tabletop. You will roll your initiative and include the roll in your post with your intended actions and results of action rolls.
