The '''Waterdeep''' campaign begins with ''[[beyond:sources/wdh|Waterdeep: Dragon Heist]]'', and will continue on to ''[[beyond:sources/wdotmm|Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage]]'' after the first module is completed.  
The '''Skull & Shackles''' campaign is a conversion of the Sull & Shackles adventure path from Pathfinder 1e into Dungeons & Dragons 5e.

''Dragon Heist'' is designed for levels 1-5. It is a treasure hunt in an urban setting, specifically the city of [[waterdeep:Waterdeep|Waterdeep, the Crown of the North]]. Before being removed from his position as the Open Lord of Waterdeep, [[waterdeep:Dagult Neverember|Dagult Neverember]] embezzeled 500,000 gold coins (called ''dragons'') and hid them in a secret vault somewhere in the city. The criminal underworld of Waterdeep is now in a race to find the key to the secret vault, find the secret vault itself, and plunder its riches.
''Skull & Shackles'' is designed for levels 1-14; if you pursue just the main plot line, you will hit level 14 shortly before the final encounter. However, side quests and optional objectives may allow you to progress further. The campaign is pirate-themed, and the players a given considerable freedom to do as they please throughout most of the adventure.
 
''Dungeon of the Mad Mage'' is designed for levels 5-20. It is an exploration of a vast dungeon network carved into Mount Waterdeep a thousand years ago by the wizard [[waterdeep:Halaster Blackcloak|Halaster Blackcloak]]. The primary entrance to the [[waterdeep:Undermountain|Undermountain]] is the "yawning portal", a well in the [[waterdeep:Yawning Portal|Yawning Portal]] inn.

As a group, you have chosen to play the "Alexandrian Remix" version of the campaign.
 
==== Alexandrian Remix ====
The Alexandrian is a blog by actor and writer Justin Alexander. Justin has made multiple "remixes" of various D&D campaigns. The Alexandrian Remix of ''Waterdeep: Dragon Heist'' is notable for including everything, rather than picking one season and only doing some of the content in the campaign.

Characters will be '''level 1''' at the start of the campaign. Ability scores will be set using the standard point buy system. Each character gets a feat at level 1, either from their background (Strixhaven/Spelljammer/Dragonlance backgrounds or custom backgrounds using the feature from them) or else selected from a short list. (This is in addition to your feat selection for creating a Variant Human or Custom Lineage character.) See [[waterdeep:character creation|character creation]] for specific details on all of this.
