About

Vicarious Ventures is a cinematic actual-play Dungeons & Dragons series following a wild, story-driven remix of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. Think gritty heists, questionable decisions, and a DM who knows the lore a little too well.

At the table is a group of real-life friends navigating chaos, comedy, and consequence as they bring the city of Waterdeep to life, one disastrously improvised moment at a time.

Created and run by David, a storyteller obsessed with deep lore, narrative pacing, and turning every NPC into someone you actually care about (or want to punch), Vicarious Ventures is built for players and DMs who love a campaign that feels alive.


? What Makes Us Different?

  • Heavily remixed storylines using The Alexandrian’s modular prep method
  • Homebrew content layered into canon modules
  • Cinematic storytelling with a focus on character, pacing, and player choice
  • A touch of chaos, because no heist goes to plan
