We’re The Waterdeep Delvers, an online D&D 5e group that’s been playing together for about half a year, and we’re looking for 1–2 new players to join at an excellent entry point in the campaign.
The campaign is designed to run all the way to level 20 and is currently at level 4 (soon level 5).
About the Campaign
This is a hardcore, dungeon-focused campaign with a strong roleplay layer and multiple long-term storylines.
The game is a custom blend of:
Tales from the Yawning Portal
Waterdeep: Dragon Heist
Dungeon of the Mad Mage
Plus original plots and multiple villains layered on top
Travel exists and matters, but we focus on the meaningful parts. Long journeys still require preparation (rations, planning, consequences), but we skip the boring stretches and jump straight to the interesting locations, dangerous terrain, and story-relevant moments.
There are no meaningless random encounters — every encounter serves a narrative, mechanical, or thematic purpose.
All characters are professional dungeon delvers, members of the Yawning Portal’s dungeon delvers’ guild, and dungeon delving is how they earn their living.
Tone & Playstyle
High-risk, high-reward gameplay
Dice rolled in the open
Monsters are not scaled down
Traps are real and sometimes lethal
Player choices matter
At the same time:
Strong roleplay focus
DM-run character voices for NPCs (players are not required to do voices)
Extensive scene art and custom battlemaps
High player freedom
“Flavor is free” – spells and abilities can look however you want
Light class rebalancing where needed (e.g. Ranger updates)
Current Situation (Why This Is a Great Time to Join)
The party recently accepted a job that was too dangerous and encountered a black dragon. Between bad player rolls and great dragon rolls, the dungeon resulted in a near wipe.
Out of four characters, only one survived:
Milton Quickstep, Halfling Monk
The other players are now creating new characters, making this a perfect moment for new players to step in without feeling behind.
The Group
Currently 4 players total (looking to add 1–2)
Players from different parts of the world
Most players didn’t know each other before joining
Friendly, welcoming table

We’re taking a Christmas break, but I’ll be doing intro calls during that time. The campaign resumes in Waterdeep afterward.
Interested?
If this sounds like your kind of game, send me a DM and we’ll set up a Discord call in the next couple of weeks to see if we’re a good fit.
This is a campaign that doesn’t pull punches, but strongly rewards creativity, roleplay, and smart play.
