Gratitude to Elliott Zastrow for his extensive research.
Special
thanks to the hundreds
of playtesters whose feedback made
this
adventure more fun
at every turn.
FOREW ORD
A simple
question began
rattling
around
in my
head
over
two
yea
rs
ago as
I
was bidding
fareweJJ
to
Barovia,
dragging
myself
out of the
depths
of Maelstrom,
and
planning a yearlong expedition to
Chult.
Where do we
go next? After mulling over several options.
we
decided
it
would
be refreshing
to return to
civilization.
Waterdeep: Dragon
Heist
is a treasure hunt
with
an
urban
backdrop. We've visited
Watcrdeep
before, but
not
like this.
Clever heroes
will respect the
city's
rules.
Those
who
get on
the
city's
bad
side are
in for a rough
time, as
the
City of Splendors
is
home to some
of
the
most powerful figures
in
the Forgotten Realms.
Charlie Sanders. a lifelong
D&D
player. brought
his
experience
writing for television to the project
by help-
ing flesh
out
the
story bible
months
before
work on the
adventure
was
scheduled to
begin. Matthew Mercer,
whom
you
might know from the
livestreamed
show
Critical
Role,
lent us his boundless
imagination
and
helped
flesh
out the villains and their motives.
A D&D
adventure is only as good as
its
villains, and
Waterdeep:
Dragon
Heist
has multiple
baddies
to
choose
from.
Before I
pull back the curtain and lead you
into the
heart
of Waterdeep,
I
wish to thank
Ed Greenwood
for
making the
City
of
Splendors
what it
is:
the kind of
mag-
ical place
you
wish in
your
heart was real.

O
N THE
COVER
In Waterdeep,
a
gold coin is called a dragon, and someone has
hidden half a million dragons in the City of Splendors. Tyler
Jacobson illustrates the villains hunting for the
treasure.
May the
gods protect any adventurer who stands
in
their way!
