Welcome to my recruitment thread for Waterdeep: Dragon Heist! Most of you may be familiar with this adventure so I'm hoping to acquire players that have never played this before. If you have played before, you can still apply but I'll be observing closely to ensure you won't be meta-gaming. I've DM'd this adventure previously with a group of friends and felt the itch to conduct an adventure in the form of a PbP campaign. There will be certain criteria players will need to meet before I'll consider recruiting them. Those will be listed below:
Activity. I seek to recruit those who can actively post at least once a day. Availability is key when it comes to running a campaign smoothly. It would be fantastic if my players are active enough to post several times a day to maintain a steady progress. I understand events can occur outside of the internet and as long as you inform of your absence ahead of time, all will be forgiven.
Time Zone. Now this is where it gets hectic. I live in the USA, Eastern time zone. I know the forums cater to many players around the globe, so I'm in search of players who would be available to play during the same time as me. However, I work a job at the office during the night shift, with a schedule of Wed-Sun 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. I have computer access during this time and will be available to play. In essence, I'll be searching for players who may have a similar schedule as me.
Discord. I love Discord as a whole. I use it for WoW and have since started using it for DND. For this campaign, I'll be creating a Discord server which will serve as our OOC discussion area.. I want my players to have Discord, so if you don't have it, then get it!
About the Campaign For those who may be unaware, Waterdeep is a metropolis in the Sword Coast; and this campaign will be spent in this city for its entirety. Meaning, your characters will be expected to know the law, obey the law, and respect the law. I'll be able to provide information on the spot pertaining to Waterdeep's history or amenities during the course of the campaign so prior knowledge of the city isn't expected. Just letting you know that murder hobo's and edgy characters won't be ideal in this campaign setting. The campaign will entail investigation and political intrigue at most times so if that's not your play style then this campaign won't be for you.
Character Creation Characters will be starting at level 1. Using Standard Array for stats and XP for character advancement. Characters will be rolling for gold instead of choosing equipment. You'll be using the gold to buy your equipment during our session zero.
Guild Membership Any characters with the guild artisan background are assumed to have free membership in one Waterdeep guild of their choice. Arcane spellcasters living in the city are required by law to register with the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors, so that they can be called on to defend the city with their magic in times of need. To join a guild, one must possess a background, a proficiency, or a status that the guild values. For example, a character with the sailor background is welcome to join the Master Mariners’ Guild. One can practice a profession and not be a guild member, but such autonomy carries a cost. The guilds do everything they can to entice new members to join and pay for membership, and they go out of their way to hinder independent business owners, up to and including driving them out of business. A baker who refuses to join the Bakers’ Guild might find her flour supply cut off, while a wizard who refuses to join the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors might be denied access to sages, libraries, and other useful resources.

Below will be the application template. Please refrain from PM'ing your applications. I've made two options on the template; one for those who don't have a character ready and one for those who already have a character prepared.
Activity: (Rate your activity & availability on a scale from 1-10. 1 being not very active, 10 being very active.) Time Zone: ( As mentioned above, I'm US EST, but I work Night Shift, so hopefully you'll have a similar schedule to me.) Personal Information: (This is where you can take the time to tell me a little about yourself.) Discord Name:
Preferred Class: (This is where you can tell me what type of classes you'd like to play. No homebrew, no CR content.) Preferred Race: (This is where you can tell me what type of races you'd like to play. I'd like for you to select common races; from the PhB. An exotic race from any other sourcebook would entail a longer backstory on why that particular race became an adventurer and has become a Waterdhavian citizen. If you're a new player, keep it easy for yourself.) OR Character Name: (Assuming that you already have a character prepared. If so, proceed. If not, use the above.) Character Race: (As mentioned above, I'd like to stick with common races since this adventure occurs in an urban environment. If you insist on using an exotic race, then a background on how/why that character is an adventurer and a Waterdhavian will be necessary.) Character Class: (As mentioned above, no homebrew or CR content.) Character Background: (Detail the character's backstory and what their past times are in the City of Splendors.)
Activity: 8/10 Time Zone: Indian Standard Time (GMT-5) Personal Information: I am a college student fantasy nerd from India. I want to try play-by-post. I am a not very handy on play by post so a bit of beginner guidance will be appreciated. Also 10:00 pm to 7:00 am for you, will be 7:30 am to 4:30 pm for me in India, so it is a conducive schedule. I want to desperately try pbp and i would ask you to please grant me this chance. Thanking You in Anticipation. Discord Name: Ritvik Singh Sabharwal#3352
Character Name: Vysfer Swann Character Race: Half-Elf Character Class: Sorceror (Clockwork Soul)
Character Background: Sage
Character Backstory Overview:
A retired local magistrate from a village near southern Red Larch City, Vysfer led a quite existence until he was visited by a secundus from the plane of Mechanus. It told him that Primus, the embodiment of absolute law, is impressed by his heartfelt commitment to law and order. So through that secundus, Vysfer was granted the power of the clockwork soul of Mechanus. He has shifted to Waterdeep a few years ago and has registered himself with the Magic User’s Guild. He has only one aim in life now, to keep the hand of law firm and solid.
Activity: 7/10 for activity. Time Zone: Currently BST or UTC +1. Personal Information: Long time gamer but first time playing a D&D PBP so looking forward to it. Discord Name: MrTInce#1674
Preferred Class: I'd like to play a Druid, Circle of Shepard. Preferred Race: I know you said nothing exotic but if I could play Firbolg I would, if not Would be happy with Wood Elf.
Activity: 8/10 Time Zone: EST Personal Information: Just a simple guy who loves D & D and does DM a homebrew right now as well. Discord Name: leapingmountain#9375
Preferred Class: Any class really save Ranger-not too keen on them. After some consideration I created a Lore Bard who has City Watch background Preferred Race: Half Elf
Activity: 7-8/10 Time Zone: CST Personal Information: Been playing 5e for a couple years mostly as a causal DM for friends, though I have recently been getting into playing through PbP. My quarantine project so far has been catching up on CR, and at the moment I’m on C2E91. Discord Name: Ctleath13#0053
Preferred Class: Bard/Paladin/Cleric (I’m pretty flexible, and the final choice will probably depend on rest of group comp.) Preferred Race: Half Elf or Human
Activity: 7ish Time Zone: GMT+8. Most active 10:30pm-1am my time, so 10:30am-1pm EST. But can post sporadically throughout the day, including the 10pm-7am EST time period you mention. Personal Information: Been playing D&D on and off since the 90s, but got back into it more seriously in the last couple years. I only do PbP these days, primarily for family reasons with two kids to look after. But I've also found some nice advantages of PbP - partiuclarly, how easy it is to get into character and have really deep rp exchanges, in contrast with many live games. I very much prefer a character-driven game. I most enjoy getting into the psychology and motivations of my characters, but I also try to avoid circumstances where 'but-my-character-would-do-that' derails things or causes serious conflict with other players. Discord Name: Scholar of Barbarism | Owen#1933
Preferred Class: Warlock, as it's the one class I've yet to play. Looking at either Celestial or Great Old One. Preferred Race: Dragonborn or Variant Human
Activity: 8/10 Time Zone: UTC+2 (I am about 6 hours ahead of you) Personal Information: I am living together with my fiancé (who is American) and i have played D&D for years in the 3.0/3.5 era. I played 4th Edition for a short time and now i am back with 5th Edition new under my belt. I work fulltime for a healthcare company doing computer stuff and in my spare time i play videogames (action/adventure) and like to watch a lot of shows and movies. Discord Name: Eendmans#5000
Preferred Class: I like to play a mix between ranged/magic or melee/magic so in the line of Bard, Cleric, Ranger, Paladin Preferred Race: I tend to like Halflings, Gnomes and Dwarves the most! Then Elves and Humans.
Activity: On weekdays 8/10, on weekends closer to a 5/10 Time Zone: I'm EST, but a night owl so I tend to stay up later (around 1-2 am) before actually going to bed Personal Information: I started playing dnd about 3 years ago, and pbp has been a very fun way to continue doing so throughout the quarantine Discord Name: aWritingSparrow#4861
Character Name: Zanna (Cloak) Turen Character Race: Forest Gnome Character Class: Rogue (Arcane Trickster) Character Background: Guild Artisan (Jewler's Guild)
Growing up in an Urban Enviornment had always been a bit of an issue for Zanna. Having too much energy and not enough space to wild, open spaces to run around in meant that she got into more trouble than her family could sometimes keep her out of. She developed a love of practical jokes, and she never really knew when the joke would go to far. Finally, her uncle stepped in. He started teaching her the tools of his trade, to get her to focus on something other than mischief. He directed her energy into making chains and settings for difference pieces of jewelry, along with how to interact with costumers.
She became very talented in jewelry crafting, and spent her free time learning how to better hide her pranks and mischief. She also started to learn how to avoid trouble from both the Watch and the City Guard. But she always came back to her uncle's jewelry store/shop to work, because it was always a fun way to spend a day.
Activity: 8/10 Time Zone: UTC -5 Personal Information: Been playing RPGs for years and Dnd for just over a year (oftentimes the DM for my local group). Been playing PbP for just over 6 months and have really enjoyed it so far. Discord Name: Zoldier#3637
Preferred Class: Barbarian, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer (I'm pretty flexible on which class to play) Preferred Race: Any! Though I've had fun playing Half-Elves, Humans and Half-Orcs in the past
Activity: About an 8, a bit less on weekends. Time Zone: Eastern Europe, so your 10pm-7am is my 5am-3pm Personal Information: I've been playing D&D 5e for a bit over three years now, and tried some other TTRPGs before it but finding you can play 5e online is what finally really got me into it. I usually play on roll20, but have tried pbp a couple times. I have actually played Dragon Heist before, but the game ended shortly after we got to level three so I would love to try and get to the end this time. Discord Name: Laurender#3503
Preferred Class: My first thought for this was a Draconic Sorcerer, but I have some Fighter and Monk ideas that could also be made to work, but some of them depend on whether you allow UA. I'd also be interested in the Stone Sorcerer UA. Preferred Race: The Dragon Sorcerer would be Drow, and the Fighter or Monk most likely a Variant Human. For the Stone Sorcerer I'm still thinking about race, maybe Mountain Dwarf or Earth Genasi.
Activity: 8, more on weekends Time Zone: US EST Personal Information: Been playing DND for several years as a player and as a DM. Started PbP recently, but I've been enjoying it a lot. Discord Name: RazorDawn#1132 Character Name: Rashar Jagtharn Character Race: Wood Half-Elf Character Class: Rogue(Assassin or Scout) Character Background: Soldier
His modest clothing, forgettable face, and charming smile betray his true nature as a deadly man. Born and raised in Waterdeep, Rashar served in the Griffon Cavalry as a member of an elite skirmisher unit, specializing in ambushing patrols, disrupting communications, and assassinating enemy generals. However, after the wars, his unit's methods were derided as dishonorable and was disbanded. Still, his belief in the sanctity of the law meant that he refused to join his comrades in relocating to more... unscrupulous careers. Instead, Rashar does the odd mercernary job here and there, basking in the memories of his glory days and searching for an opportunity to distinguish himself once more.
Activity: 8 on a weekday and 5-6 on weekends. Time Zone: PST (I live in Portland) Personal Information: I used to play D&D with my brother and friends when I was young 12ish, and now 35+ years later I have really gotten the itch to play again. I am currently going to school to be a chemistry/SPED teacher so I am at home and at my computer for most of the day. I joined one other PbP game and am really enjoying it so I would like to have one other character to play to fill up a little more time. Also, I really love the idea of having a city campaign and I have never played Waterdeep. Discord Name: Mojo#7522
Preferred Class: Rogue (inquisitor or swashbuckler) or Bard (Lore) Made a character with some story https://ddb.ac/characters/34616450/yeeJiN Preferred Race: Half-elf or human are my favorite
Activity: 10. I carry my phone with me everywhere and have discord on it. I use it on break at work and have found myself spearheading pbp campaigns in those ive been in. I play wow and raid tues/thurs 7:30-11 cst, so my activity will be less around that time. (starting m nzoth prog, wish us luck :D)
Time Zone: CST. I work 1st shift, so my active hours will likely be 8:00am - 12:00am, and usually until 2-3am on the weekends.
Personal Information: From wisconsin. 26 almost 27yo guy, I've played exclusively dnd 5e and ive been at it for about 2.5 years now. I've played in several different formats, classic tabletop, roll20, pbp (discord +avrae), live discord. In all the dnd sessions ive been in, its mostly been with new players that arent as comfortable roleplaying, so a lot if the times i end of conforming to the group so im not the only one hardcore roleplaying. I love the sound of this campaign, as it sounds like i might finally be able to make full effective use of a charisma based character. I know Waterdeep is a massive trade city with deep networks, and thats about as far as my understanding goes. It will be great to experience the city in all its glory first hand. I love discord pbp sessions because it just makes transferring information a ton easier, and i also love writing and adding flavor text to my characters actions.
Discord Name: Eli#4925
Preferred Class: Seeing as this is a more RP heavy, social and political campaign, i would love to finally try out bard or maybe even spy/inquisitor rogue archetypes.
Preferred Race: No preference really, probably something with a charisma mod or perhaps human variant for the actor feat.
Activity: (Rate your activity & availability on a scale from 1-10. 1 being not very active, 10 being very active.)
7 to 10. I am very active from 7 AM CST to around 3 PM CST on weekdays. I then check in between 7 PM CST and 10 PM CST, prior to going to bed. Weekends i am much less active.
Time Zone: ( As mentioned above, I'm US EST, but I work Night Shift, so hopefully you'll have a similar schedule to me.)
CST.
Personal Information: (This is where you can take the time to tell me a little about yourself.)
I am a blind gamer, who has been playing DND for nearly 20 years and am very active on these forums.

Character Name: Morgan Amcathra Character Race: Variant Human Character Class: Barbarian (ancestral eventually) Character Background:
Morgan's family has permanent rooms in the family villa in waterdeep. His father is the heir, with Morgan in line after him. Morgan has his father's temper in full, which has caused his early life to be turbulent to say the least. He has gotten into trouble with the City Watch more often than not, and has had to be hauled back to his family's villa quite a few times over the years. His father and Morgan have had legendary shouting matches, the two rubbing on each other like salt on an open wound when their tempers are roused. Luckily his mother is a voice of reason and was able to calm both of them down, or things may have come to blows more than once.
These days Morgan works to keep his temper more under control, though his rage is hardly diminished. He tries to focus it though, instead of just lashing out in a fit of temper. He venerates his family's ancestors, and has learned to call on them when he is truly enraged.
Information on noble house...
Family symbol: Shield with a red field, light blue flames and silver stars
Family main holdings: Estate in Undercliff that is used for the training and sale of horses bred in Amphail.
Amcathra Manor (Villa)
The High Road, North Ward
The wall around Amcathra Manor is five feet of blue-black stone, with silver upright crescents along its upper edge. Flickering blue fire ripples along the upper edge of the wall occasionally, a wave of it traveling back and forth along its length, a warning of the magical protections that lie along its upper edge. Amcathra Manor: The massive mansion of House Amcathra is probably one of the largest single buildings in any noble compound in Waterdeep, with ample sprawling hallways over four stories, as well as multiple sets of cellars. The ground floor is practically entirely for guests both personal and business, with the northern wing of the manor featuring an impressive ballroom that has been the site of many of Waterdeep's greatest noble parties. Rooms intended for the glorification of the familial heritage are here as well, including an art galleria with portraits and statuary of previous lords, starting with Old Rorgar. A display armory shows off some of the finest blades ever wrought by Amcathra hands, many of which are enchanted. The middle two floors are divided into apartments, the appointment of which is a matter of prestige within the House, and hotly contested for among family members. The upper floor is for the patriarch's immediate family, and whomever else they desire to give over chambers to (an immense honor). It isn't uncommon for retainers of the Lord to be given these chambers, to have them close at hand, although historically this tends to result in some degree of resentment from lower-ranked family members. Amcathra Manor is said to be positively crawling with secret passages and even the occasional secret chamber.
Fireblue Smithy: The house smithy of the Amcathras has produced an incredible variety of fine blades over the years, and it has an earned place of high regard among Waterdhavian smiths. The southern edge of the building is the smithy proper, two stories in height with ample ventilation to allow the heat to escape. The northern half of the ground floor is all workshops where other work is done, and where apprentices are put to work gaining basic skills. The upper floors of this half are all apprentice quarters.
Amphail
The Amcathras are one of the three ruling noble families of Amphail, who pass the title of Lord Warden among themselves every Shieldmeet. As of Shieldmeet 1492, the title will pass to the Amcathras, and Lord Arilos has already made plain his candidate: his nephew Humshan. Amphail is home to the core of the Amcathra wine and horse trade, with the family owning several ranches and vineyards in and around the village.
Silverymoon
The family also has several ranches and vineyards near Silverymoon. Given the recent difficulties, the Amcathras have well-fortified these holdings, turning them into almost-keeps that many of their neighbors have come to rely on for protection during raids by barbarians, goblinoids, or monsters.
Family symbol: Shield with a red field, light blue flames and silver stars
The house: Scions of House Amcathra are active patrons of The Splendid Order of Armorers, Locksmiths, & Finesmiths as well as The Vintners', Distillers', & Brewers Guild. In addition, Lord Arilos just became Senior Master of the The Stablemasters' & Farriers' Guild.

Family details:
Father: Regnet Amcathra Regnet Amcathra: The younger brother of Arilos (NG male Chondathan fighter 5) is a tall man with curly brown hair and a fierce temper. Famed for his tastes in clothes and drink, he has friends and enemies in nearly every tavern in town. He considers Danilo Thann, Civilar Emmer Jundhyl. Mother Tathlorn, and Scirkhel Wands among his closest confidantes. He is also a founder of the Deep Delvers adventuring company. Regnet has settled down since marrying Galinda Raventree. Myrna Cassalanter continues to badmouth the pair whenever she can, but most folk ignore such sniping.
Mother: Galinda Raventree Amcathra Galinda Raventree Amcathra: Galinda (CG female Tethyrian human aristocrat 5/expert 2), recently married to Regnet Amcathra, is one of Waterdeep's leading socialites and, until recently, one of its most desirable ladies. The younger sister of Lord Surakh Raventree is the mother of two, but producing heirs for House Amcathra has not stopped her from hosting Waterdeep's annual costume ball or engaging in rumormongering. Galinda greatly dislikes Myrna Cassalanter and enjoys beating her own game. She can be contacted at the Amcathra villa.
Rosonna Amcathra Morgan's younger sister. She is just 18 now and is much sought-after as one of the most desirable ladies in Waterdeep.
Mourngrym Amcathra: The Lord of Shadowdale (NG male Condathan human fighter 8) is a physically fit, neatly trimmed man with brown hair and beard. He has long been absent from the family affairs, but is now playing host to his aged parents, Challas (NG male Tethyrian human aristocrat 9) and Mu (LG female Tethyrian human aristocrat 9).
DeceasedEdit Rorgar Amcathra: Master of Waterdeep's cavalry that formed a horse-farm in what was later Amphail Hargrym Amcathra: Lord of the family when they were raised to the level of nobility
Other notes: Emmer Jundhyl: Emmer (NG male Illuskan human rogue 1/fighter 7) is a large, beefy, outgoing man, given to great booming laughs and a ready smile. He is the watch civilar of North Ward and close friends with Regnet Amcathra and Scirkhel Wands (see page 63). Emmer has been recently replaced by Fengharl of the Unseen (NE doppelganger), but as yet no one has detected the change.
Alroy Adarbrent: Alroy (NG male Chondathan human aristocrat 1/expert 9) is a thin, weak man with a keen mind and perpetual cough. He is one of the best navigators in the city, having completed the arduous trip to New Waterdeep and back. This committed bachelor swore off women after being spurned by Galinda Raventree (who was barely aware of his interest) in favor of Regnet Amcathra, but he is now spending a great deal of time with Myrna Cassalanter.
Mother Tathlorn’s House of Pleasure Mother Tathlorn is one of Regnet Amcathra's confidants.
Scirkhel Wands: Scirkhel (CG male Tethyrian human ranger 6/bard 2) is a middle-aged, bearded member of the Wands clan, the handsome and well-respected great great nephew of Maskar Wands. Born in the Year of the Fallen Throne (1319 DR), he left at a young age to see the world. During his travels, he fell in with a ranger of the Heralds and learned heraldry and woodcraft from him. After returning to Waterdeep, Scirkhel quietly assumed the duties of Falconfree. He recently took up study as a bard at New Olamn (C72), and he is a close friend of Regnet Amcathra.

Character Name: Cath Redaxe Character Race: Mountain Dwarf Character Class: Fighter Character Background:
Cath heaved a heavy sigh and wiped his brow. The last of the melee had died down and the worst of the offenders had been thrown out. How did you get here Cath? Working as a bouncer in a seedy bar down by the docks? You're better than this eh?As much as Cath wanted to be back home in Hundelstone working the bellows or crafting with wood he had burned that bridge long ago. He had served in the wars with the orcs but later had a falling out and had been removed from his post. Too loud, too outspoken, too damn thick headed not to see what was plain for others to see. So he left, in a huff, and vowed not to return. He hit the road, how many years ago was that? Too many he supposed. Caravan guard, mercenary, adventurer. He had done it all. But now here I am down on my luck and trying to survive in this city. Cath was getting itchy fingers again, itchy feet maybe also. Might be time to move on. He needed some adventure in his life again. Throwing sailors out of the bar just wasn't cutting it. And gold, it had been too long since he felt the touch of a good lot of gold coins in his hands.
Cath is a mountain dwarf from northern Faerûn and lived in Hundelstone. He was a twin to his brother, Hath Redaxe. He spent most of his years working various mines and occasionally aiding in the defense of the region. He would also travel the Sword Coast as a guard with caravans. Cath and his twin brother served during the war with the orc kingdom of Many-Arrows. His twin brother was killed by orcs during this war. It was shortly after the war and the dissolving of the League of Silver Marches that in his grief over the loss of his twin bother he left Hundelstone. He now travels as a mercenary who ranges around looking for adventure and gold, not always in that order. He has seen most of the Sword Coast in his travels with merchant caravans and has visited all of the major cities on more than one occasion. He has fought in wars, delved dungeons and faced danger his whole life. He is always on the hunt for orcs, goblins and others like them. His hatred for them fueled by the loss of his twin brother Hath. He has a wretched mouth and his ability to spew colorful curses is always awe inspiring. He can often be found whittling wood and making small carvings of animals and other things. A strange thing for a dwarf as he prefers to work with wood rather than stone or metal. He will often leave these as gifts for poor folk he runs across in his travels. He carries a set of woodworking tools he received as a gift from a Hath before the war. It is his greatest treasure. His manner appears gruff, but within lies a heart that wishes to help those in need. Especially if they need orcs killed.
Welcome to my recruitment thread for Waterdeep: Dragon Heist! Most of you may be familiar with this adventure so I'm hoping to acquire players that have never played this before. If you have played before, you can still apply but I'll be observing closely to ensure you won't be meta-gaming. I've DM'd this adventure previously with a group of friends and felt the itch to conduct an adventure in the form of a PbP campaign. There will be certain criteria players will need to meet before I'll consider recruiting them. Those will be listed below:
About the Campaign
For those who may be unaware, Waterdeep is a metropolis in the Sword Coast; and this campaign will be spent in this city for its entirety. Meaning, your characters will be expected to know the law, obey the law, and respect the law. I'll be able to provide information on the spot pertaining to Waterdeep's history or amenities during the course of the campaign so prior knowledge of the city isn't expected. Just letting you know that murder hobo's and edgy characters won't be ideal in this campaign setting. The campaign will entail investigation and political intrigue at most times so if that's not your play style then this campaign won't be for you.
Character Creation
Characters will be starting at level 1. Using Standard Array for stats and XP for character advancement. Characters will be rolling for gold instead of choosing equipment. You'll be using the gold to buy your equipment during our session zero.
Guild Membership
Any characters with the guild artisan background are assumed to have free membership in one Waterdeep guild of their choice. Arcane spellcasters living in the city are required by law to register with the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors, so that they can be called on to defend the city with their magic in times of need. To join a guild, one must possess a background, a proficiency, or a status that the guild values. For example, a character with the sailor background is welcome to join the Master Mariners’ Guild. One can practice a profession and not be a guild member, but such autonomy carries a cost. The guilds do everything they can to entice new members to join and pay for membership, and they go out of their way to hinder independent business owners, up to and including driving them out of business. A baker who refuses to join the Bakers’ Guild might find her flour supply cut off, while a wizard who refuses to join the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors might be denied access to sages, libraries, and other useful resources.
Below will be the application template. Please refrain from PM'ing your applications. I've made two options on the template; one for those who don't have a character ready and one for those who already have a character prepared.
Activity: (Rate your activity & availability on a scale from 1-10. 1 being not very active, 10 being very active.)
Time Zone: ( As mentioned above, I'm US EST, but I work Night Shift, so hopefully you'll have a similar schedule to me.)
Personal Information: (This is where you can take the time to tell me a little about yourself.)
Discord Name:
Preferred Class: (This is where you can tell me what type of classes you'd like to play. No homebrew, no CR content.)
Preferred Race: (This is where you can tell me what type of races you'd like to play. I'd like for you to select common races; from the PhB. An exotic race from any other sourcebook would entail a longer backstory on why that particular race became an adventurer and has become a Waterdhavian citizen. If you're a new player, keep it easy for yourself.)
OR
Character Name: (Assuming that you already have a character prepared. If so, proceed. If not, use the above.)
Character Race: (As mentioned above, I'd like to stick with common races since this adventure occurs in an urban environment. If you insist on using an exotic race, then a background on how/why that character is an adventurer and a Waterdhavian will be necessary.)
Character Class: (As mentioned above, no homebrew or CR content.)
Character Background: (Detail the character's backstory and what their past times are in the City of Splendors.)
I'll keep recruitment open till Saturday.

https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/leapingmountain/characters/34616027
Activity: 7-8/10
Time Zone: CST
Personal Information: Been playing 5e for a couple years mostly as a causal DM for friends, though I have recently been getting into playing through PbP. My quarantine project so far has been catching up on CR, and at the moment I’m on C2E91.
Discord Name: Ctleath13#0053

Alright, here's my answers:
Activity: 7ish
Time Zone: GMT+8. Most active 10:30pm-1am my time, so 10:30am-1pm EST. But can post sporadically throughout the day, including the 10pm-7am EST time period you mention.
Personal Information: Been playing D&D on and off since the 90s, but got back into it more seriously in the last couple years. I only do PbP these days, primarily for family reasons with two kids to look after. But I've also found some nice advantages of PbP - partiuclarly, how easy it is to get into character and have really deep rp exchanges, in contrast with many live games. I very much prefer a character-driven game. I most enjoy getting into the psychology and motivations of my characters, but I also try to avoid circumstances where 'but-my-character-would-do-that' derails things or causes serious conflict with other players.
Discord Name: Scholar of Barbarism | Owen#1933

Discord Name: aWritingSparrow#4861
Character Name: Zanna (Cloak) Turen
Character Race: Forest Gnome
Character Class: Rogue (Arcane Trickster)
Character Background: Guild Artisan (Jewler's Guild)
Growing up in an Urban Enviornment had always been a bit of an issue for Zanna. Having too much energy and not enough space to wild, open spaces to run around in meant that she got into more trouble than her family could sometimes keep her out of. She developed a love of practical jokes, and she never really knew when the joke would go to far. Finally, her uncle stepped in. He started teaching her the tools of his trade, to get her to focus on something other than mischief. He directed her energy into making chains and settings for difference pieces of jewelry, along with how to interact with costumers.
She became very talented in jewelry crafting, and spent her free time learning how to better hide her pranks and mischief. She also started to learn how to avoid trouble from both the Watch and the City Guard. But she always came back to her uncle's jewelry store/shop to work, because it was always a fun way to spend a day.

Personal Information: I've been playing D&D 5e for a bit over three years now, and tried some other TTRPGs before it but finding you can play 5e online is what finally really got me into it. I usually play on roll20, but have tried pbp a couple times. I have actually played Dragon Heist before, but the game ended shortly after we got to level three so I would love to try and get to the end this time.
Discord Name: Laurender#3503
Preferred Class: My first thought for this was a Draconic Sorcerer, but I have some Fighter and Monk ideas that could also be made to work, but some of them depend on whether you allow UA. I'd also be interested in the Stone Sorcerer UA.
Preferred Race: The Dragon Sorcerer would be Drow, and the Fighter or Monk most likely a Variant Human. For the Stone Sorcerer I'm still thinking about race, maybe Mountain Dwarf or Earth Genasi.
Activity: 8, more on weekends
Time Zone: US EST
Personal Information: Been playing DND for several years as a player and as a DM. Started PbP recently, but I've been enjoying it a lot.
Discord Name: RazorDawn#1132
Character Name: Rashar Jagtharn
Character Race: Wood Half-Elf
Character Class: Rogue(Assassin or Scout)
Character Background: Soldier
His modest clothing, forgettable face, and charming smile betray his true nature as a deadly man. Born and raised in Waterdeep, Rashar served in the Griffon Cavalry as a member of an elite skirmisher unit, specializing in ambushing patrols, disrupting communications, and assassinating enemy generals. However, after the wars, his unit's methods were derided as dishonorable and was disbanded. Still, his belief in the sanctity of the law meant that he refused to join his comrades in relocating to more... unscrupulous careers. Instead, Rashar does the odd mercernary job here and there, basking in the memories of his glory days and searching for an opportunity to distinguish himself once more.
DMing:
Solo Hoard of the Dragon Queen
Playing:
Baral- Coliseum of Conquest, Lazarus Vernon- Tale of Mercenaries; Bernard Lionsbane- Solo Curse of Strahd

I am currently going to school to be a chemistry/SPED teacher so I am at home and at my computer for most of the day. I joined one other PbP game and am really enjoying it so I would like to have one other character to play to fill up a little more time. Also, I really love the idea of having a city campaign and I have never played Waterdeep.
Discord Name: Mojo#7522
Preferred Class: Rogue (inquisitor or swashbuckler) or Bard (Lore) Made a character with some story https://ddb.ac/characters/34616450/yeeJiN

Uldran Sporebringer | Lvl 2 Dwarf Druid | Stonebound
Allorian Silverfin | Lvl 1 Rogue | Gillesburg
Activity: 10. I carry my phone with me everywhere and have discord on it. I use it on break at work and have found myself spearheading pbp campaigns in those ive been in. I play wow and raid tues/thurs 7:30-11 cst, so my activity will be less around that time. (starting m nzoth prog, wish us luck :D)
Time Zone: CST. I work 1st shift, so my active hours will likely be 8:00am - 12:00am, and usually until 2-3am on the weekends.
Personal Information: From wisconsin. 26 almost 27yo guy, I've played exclusively dnd 5e and ive been at it for about 2.5 years now. I've played in several different formats, classic tabletop, roll20, pbp (discord +avrae), live discord. In all the dnd sessions ive been in, its mostly been with new players that arent as comfortable roleplaying, so a lot if the times i end of conforming to the group so im not the only one hardcore roleplaying. I love the sound of this campaign, as it sounds like i might finally be able to make full effective use of a charisma based character. I know Waterdeep is a massive trade city with deep networks, and thats about as far as my understanding goes. It will be great to experience the city in all its glory first hand. I love discord pbp sessions because it just makes transferring information a ton easier, and i also love writing and adding flavor text to my characters actions.
Discord Name: Eli#4925
Preferred Class: Seeing as this is a more RP heavy, social and political campaign, i would love to finally try out bard or maybe even spy/inquisitor rogue archetypes.
Preferred Race: No preference really, probably something with a charisma mod or perhaps human variant for the actor feat.
Activity: (Rate your activity & availability on a scale from 1-10. 1 being not very active, 10 being very active.)
7 to 10. I am very active from 7 AM CST to around 3 PM CST on weekdays. I then check in between 7 PM CST and 10 PM CST, prior to going to bed. Weekends i am much less active.

Personal Information: (This is where you can take the time to tell me a little about yourself.)
I am a blind gamer, who has been playing DND for nearly 20 years and am very active on these forums.
Discord Name:
dragonden#7564
Character Name: Morgan Amcathra
Character Race: Variant Human
Character Class: Barbarian (ancestral eventually)
Character Background:
Morgan's family has permanent rooms in the family villa in waterdeep. His father is the heir, with Morgan in line after him. Morgan has his father's temper in full, which has caused his early life to be turbulent to say the least. He has gotten into trouble with the City Watch more often than not, and has had to be hauled back to his family's villa quite a few times over the years. His father and Morgan have had legendary shouting matches, the two rubbing on each other like salt on an open wound when their tempers are roused. Luckily his mother is a voice of reason and was able to calm both of them down, or things may have come to blows more than once.
These days Morgan works to keep his temper more under control, though his rage is hardly diminished. He tries to focus it though, instead of just lashing out in a fit of temper. He venerates his family's ancestors, and has learned to call on them when he is truly enraged.
Information on noble house...
Family symbol:
Shield with a red field, light blue flames and silver stars
Family main holdings:
Estate in Undercliff that is used for the training and sale of horses bred in Amphail.
Amcathra Manor (Villa)
The High Road, North Ward
The wall around Amcathra Manor is five feet of blue-black stone, with silver upright crescents along its upper edge. Flickering blue fire ripples along the upper edge of the wall occasionally, a wave of it traveling back and forth along its length, a warning of the magical protections that lie along its upper edge.
Amcathra Manor: The massive mansion of House Amcathra is probably one of the largest single buildings in any noble compound in Waterdeep, with ample sprawling hallways over four stories, as well as multiple sets of cellars. The ground floor is practically entirely for guests both personal and business, with the northern wing of the manor featuring an impressive ballroom that has been the site of many of Waterdeep's greatest noble parties. Rooms intended for the glorification of the familial heritage are here as well, including an art galleria with portraits and statuary of previous lords, starting with Old Rorgar. A display armory shows off some of the finest blades ever wrought by Amcathra hands, many of which are enchanted. The middle two floors are divided into apartments, the appointment of which is a matter of prestige within the House, and hotly contested for among family members. The upper floor is for the patriarch's immediate family, and whomever else they desire to give over chambers to (an immense honor). It isn't uncommon for retainers of the Lord to be given these chambers, to have them close at hand, although historically this tends to result in some degree of resentment from lower-ranked family members. Amcathra Manor is said to be positively crawling with secret passages and even the occasional secret chamber.
Fireblue Smithy: The house smithy of the Amcathras has produced an incredible variety of fine blades over the years, and it has an earned place of high regard among Waterdhavian smiths. The southern edge of the building is the smithy proper, two stories in height with ample ventilation to allow the heat to escape. The northern half of the ground floor is all workshops where other work is done, and where apprentices are put to work gaining basic skills. The upper floors of this half are all apprentice quarters.
Amphail
The Amcathras are one of the three ruling noble families of Amphail, who pass the title of Lord Warden among themselves every Shieldmeet. As of Shieldmeet 1492, the title will pass to the Amcathras, and Lord Arilos has already made plain his candidate: his nephew Humshan. Amphail is home to the core of the Amcathra wine and horse trade, with the family owning several ranches and vineyards in and around the village.
Silverymoon
The family also has several ranches and vineyards near Silverymoon. Given the recent difficulties, the Amcathras have well-fortified these holdings, turning them into almost-keeps that many of their neighbors have come to rely on for protection during raids by barbarians, goblinoids, or monsters.
Family symbol:
Shield with a red field, light blue flames and silver stars
The house:
Scions of House Amcathra are active patrons of The Splendid Order of Armorers, Locksmiths, & Finesmiths as well as The Vintners', Distillers', & Brewers Guild. In addition, Lord Arilos just became Senior Master of the The Stablemasters' & Farriers' Guild.

Regnet Amcathra: The younger brother of Arilos (NG male Chondathan fighter 5) is a tall man with curly brown hair and a fierce temper. Famed for his tastes in clothes and drink, he has friends and enemies in nearly every tavern in town. He considers Danilo Thann, Civilar Emmer Jundhyl. Mother Tathlorn, and Scirkhel Wands among his closest confidantes. He is also a founder of the Deep Delvers adventuring company. Regnet has settled down since marrying Galinda Raventree. Myrna Cassalanter continues to badmouth the pair whenever she can, but most folk ignore such sniping.
Mother: Galinda Raventree Amcathra
Galinda Raventree Amcathra: Galinda (CG female Tethyrian human aristocrat 5/expert 2), recently married to Regnet Amcathra, is one of Waterdeep's leading socialites and, until recently, one of its most desirable ladies. The younger sister of Lord Surakh Raventree is the mother of two, but producing heirs for House Amcathra has not stopped her from hosting Waterdeep's annual costume ball or engaging in rumormongering. Galinda greatly dislikes Myrna Cassalanter and enjoys beating her own game. She can be contacted at the Amcathra villa.
Rosonna Amcathra
Morgan's younger sister. She is just 18 now and is much sought-after as one of the most desirable ladies in Waterdeep.
Mourngrym Amcathra: The Lord of Shadowdale (NG male Condathan human fighter 8) is a physically fit, neatly trimmed man with brown hair and beard. He has long been absent from the family affairs, but is now playing host to his aged parents, Challas (NG male Tethyrian human aristocrat 9) and Mu (LG female Tethyrian human aristocrat 9).
DeceasedEdit
Rorgar Amcathra: Master of Waterdeep's cavalry that formed a horse-farm in what was later Amphail
Hargrym Amcathra: Lord of the family when they were raised to the level of nobility
Other notes:
Emmer Jundhyl: Emmer (NG male Illuskan human rogue
1/fighter 7) is a large, beefy, outgoing man, given to great booming
laughs and a ready smile. He is the watch civilar of North
Ward and close friends with Regnet Amcathra and Scirkhel
Wands (see page 63). Emmer has been recently replaced by
Fengharl of the Unseen (NE doppelganger), but as yet no one
has detected the change.
Alroy Adarbrent: Alroy (NG male Chondathan human
aristocrat 1/expert 9) is a thin, weak man with a keen mind and
perpetual cough. He is one of the best navigators in the city,
having completed the arduous trip to New Waterdeep and back.
This committed bachelor swore off women after being spurned
by Galinda Raventree (who was barely aware of his interest) in
favor of Regnet Amcathra, but he is now spending a great deal
of time with Myrna Cassalanter.
Mother Tathlorn’s House of Pleasure
Mother Tathlorn is one of Regnet Amcathra's confidants.
Scirkhel Wands: Scirkhel (CG male Tethyrian human ranger
6/bard 2) is a middle-aged, bearded member of the Wands clan,
the handsome and well-respected great great nephew of Maskar
Wands. Born in the Year of the Fallen Throne (1319 DR),
he left at a young age to see the world. During his travels, he
fell in with a ranger of the Heralds and learned heraldry and woodcraft from him. After returning to Waterdeep, Scirkhel
quietly assumed the duties of Falconfree. He recently took up
study as a bard at New Olamn (C72), and he is a close friend
of Regnet Amcathra.

Discord Name: Paladin54
Character Name: Cath Redaxe
Character Race: Mountain Dwarf
Character Class: Fighter
Character Background:
Cath heaved a heavy sigh and wiped his brow. The last of the melee had died down and the worst of the offenders had been thrown out. How did you get here Cath? Working as a bouncer in a seedy bar down by the docks? You're better than this eh? As much as Cath wanted to be back home in Hundelstone working the bellows or crafting with wood he had burned that bridge long ago. He had served in the wars with the orcs but later had a falling out and had been removed from his post. Too loud, too outspoken, too damn thick headed not to see what was plain for others to see. So he left, in a huff, and vowed not to return. He hit the road, how many years ago was that? Too many he supposed. Caravan guard, mercenary, adventurer. He had done it all. But now here I am down on my luck and trying to survive in this city. Cath was getting itchy fingers again, itchy feet maybe also. Might be time to move on. He needed some adventure in his life again. Throwing sailors out of the bar just wasn't cutting it. And gold, it had been too long since he felt the touch of a good lot of gold coins in his hands.
Cath is a mountain dwarf from northern Faerûn and lived in Hundelstone. He was a twin to his brother, Hath Redaxe. He spent most of his years working various mines and occasionally aiding in the defense of the region. He would also travel the Sword Coast as a guard with caravans. Cath and his twin brother served during the war with the orc kingdom of Many-Arrows. His twin brother was killed by orcs during this war. It was shortly after the war and the dissolving of the League of Silver Marches that in his grief over the loss of his twin bother he left Hundelstone. He now travels as a mercenary who ranges around looking for adventure and gold, not always in that order. He has seen most of the Sword Coast in his travels with merchant caravans and has visited all of the major cities on more than one occasion. He has fought in wars, delved dungeons and faced danger his whole life. He is always on the hunt for orcs, goblins and others like them. His hatred for them fueled by the loss of his twin brother Hath. He has a wretched mouth and his ability to spew colorful curses is always awe inspiring. He can often be found whittling wood and making small carvings of animals and other things. A strange thing for a dwarf as he prefers to work with wood rather than stone or metal. He will often leave these as gifts for poor folk he runs across in his travels. He carries a set of woodworking tools he received as a gift from a Hath before the war. It is his greatest treasure. His manner appears gruff, but within lies a heart that wishes to help those in need. Especially if they need orcs killed.
I would like to recruit myself
