Heist Night! Baldur's Gate In Baldur's Gate, everyone's running a con. Tonight, it's your turn. Steal a priceless artifact from a Patriar mansion. Betray no one β€” or everyone.

Loved BG3 but want to play in Baldur's Gate?
Tomorrow night: steal a priceless moonstone from a Patriar mansion. Tactical infiltration. Moral choices. Inevitable complications.

My D&D tech stack after 3 StartPlaying sessions:
VTT: Foundry v13 (self-hosted)
Character Management: D&D Beyond (content sharing = clutch)
Voice: Discord
Scheduling: StartPlaying
Music: My own!
Most important investment? Good microphone. Audio quality matters more than fancy maps.

Just ran my first StartPlaying session, a wacky holiday one-shot.
What worked:

β€’ Physical comedy translated great to VTT
β€’ Multiplying enemies at Level 1 = real tension
β€’ Pudding puns galore

First session nerves are real, but prep pays off.

Fool's Needle: Climb the Deadly Desert Spire | Level 3 The locals say Fool's Needle kills everyone who climbs it. A dying sage says there's a time portal at the top. One of them is right.

As a Pro GM: This is my favorite kind of one-shot.
- Tight 3-hour arc.
- Environmental hazards.
- Time travel.
- Combat that rewards tactics.

Tomorrow 10am ET in a level 3 one-shot β€” Climb the Cursed Spire, prove ancient Netheril existed.
