D&D Beyond
You’re Not Just Solving a Murder—You’re Entangled in It
Hey folks,
I’m opening tables for a few players to join something special: a cinematic, character-driven murder mystery set in the Forgotten Realms.
I’m a D&D author and content creator, and I’ve been a DM for 30 years. I designed and wrote this adventure to publish in DMs Guild in August 2025.
This isn’t just a mystery to solve—it’s an adventure built around your character. Your past, your morals, and your choices will shape how it all unfolds.
If you’ve been looking for a D&D campaign that puts your character at the heart of the drama—where every clue, twist, and betrayal hits you personally—this is the one you don’t want to miss.
CAMPAIGN SNAPSHOT
Get ready to dive into the most immersive roleplaying experience of your life:
🎭 A character-driven short campaign for fans of roleplaying & storytelling
🔍 A murder mystery sandbox built around a single compelling plot
🧙 Six highly customizable pre-gen characters, each intricately tied to the adventure
📅 12 sessions (Levels 1–5)
🎲 2024 D&D rules (RaW)
🧩 THE STORY
One crime. Six heroes. Endless tangled paths.
You’re one of six rookie adventurers unexpectedly drawn into a violent murder investigation that has rocked the city of Arabel.
Salvador Ortega and his two sisters were killed in their manor, leaving their fortune and merchant house without an heir. Two days later, the suspected killers were found dead in a warehouse—surrounded by stolen Ortega jewelry and valuables.
Case closed? Not quite.
An unsigned letter reaches Lord Commander Karin Lhal, prompting him to secretly recruit adventurers to uncover the truth. Now, you must race against time, tracking leads and interrogating suspects through Arabel’s dark alleys—only to find that the deeper you dig, the more entangled you become in the crime.
As you unearth secrets from the city’s underworld, you hear whispers of undead and lycanthropes–along with mysteries surrounding the Ortegas. The city’s bitter winds carry the stench of conspiracy.
What secrets of greed, love, jealousy, and revenge hide in its dark alleys—and in your own past?
