Waterdeep: Dragon Heist

A haunted tavern. A hidden hoard. A city of masks and motives. Join Us as we search for truth.

Voxels & Valor

From Phandelver’s mines to the Yawning Portal — chaos and courage on the road to Waterdeep.

Session 41: The Streets are Watching

The streets of Waterdeep seem to know something the Watch does not. As the party investigates a string of murders targeting elves in the Dock Ward, cryptic warnings, uneasy silences, and a deadly ambush reveal that a skilled hunter is stalking the city after dark.

Session 40: Skittering Shadows and Silver Tongues

The party returns to Trollskull Manor after strange discoveries beneath the city, only to find that Waterdeep’s troubles have come looking for them. As guild workers transform the manor into a functioning tavern, Davil Starsong arrives with unsettling news, a glimpse into the fractured Zhentarim, and a mission that will lead the adventurers into the shadows of the Dock Ward.

Session 39: Wood, Water and Whispers

The scarecrows are defeated, but questions remain. As the party returns to Trollskull Manor, they discover a house filled with workers, plans, and possibility. A new companion joins their ranks, a master carver helps shape the manor’s future, and unsettling sounds from below suggest Trollskull’s secrets are far from exhausted.

Dispel Dice: Exsanguinated Dice Review

The Dispel Dice Exsanguinated set is one of the most striking dice collections I’ve ever rolled. Its deep crimson swirls evoke freshly spilled blood suspended in crystal, making it a perfect fit for gothic horror and vampire-themed campaigns. While the dark numbering can make readability challenging under typical game room lighting, exceptional craftsmanship, balanced rolls, and unforgettable table presence make this premium set an easy recommendation.
