Waterdeep: Urban Adventures is a living city sandbox game run in 5e. There will really be no player cap because your can party up with others or strike out on your own, but actions will have conquences and affect others. Will prefer characters be from the city proper or from near by. Although there will be elements from Dragon Heist and Dungeon of the Mad Mage, Acquisitions Incorporated will be influencing the game the most. So go explore the Undermountain, Maybe meet up with Volo, or possibly get hired by AI or get in their way!

This game will be a casual game, so post when you can and wont be very combat heavy (unless you want to). So come and have fun and see what the City of Splendors can do for you.

Sounds interesting
I guess I would also like to try, if you accept players who would like to try. I believe the most important in such a game is players who will be playing, so I would like to reserve my rights to leave without explaining the reason.

I'll come aboard. Dealing with a funeral tomorrow, but I should be able to get a character ready after that. I do not have AI, but I assume that won't be a problem?

Casual, low commitment works for me right now. I'm curious how well a sandbox will work in PbP. I volunteer as tribute!

Not currently sure.
Forgedchaos hasn't been on for 6 days. While we have no idea about his real life, the timeframe puts his last log in three days before Ian ripped Florida new hole... so most of us are giving it some more time on the off chance the guy is dealing with aftermath of the storm. 🤷

I once ran a similar campaign (not so sandboxy) set in Waterdeep called Waterdhavian Knights. All characters were young nobles who started at 0 level (this was in the days of 1E, transitioning to 2E) and began as adolescents for their species. The first adventure was inspired by Adventures in Babysitting and they earned their stripes and became 1st level at the end of it. Further adventures in and around Waterdeep were planned, but the campaign didn't last.

I'd be interested in participating in the campaign! Just wondering, since I was thinking about playing a Dragonborn, it's ok if I use Fizban's Dragonborn variant, or should I use the standard ones?

@samdragon I'm afraid that you have missed your chance on this one.

1. The initial Recruitment post is a month old. (Sep 15, 2022). A game usually starts after a week.
2. The player that made the Recruitment post has Zzz. by his name. That means that he hasn't logged in for more than 2 weeks. So even if the game had started, it would have ended again.

DM disappeared right after character creation, 19 days ago. Most of those who signed up have since bailed. A few of us are still hanging around but it's probably not happening.
