It offered some creative ideas to really bring the city to life. I loved the easy to print option (ink friendly) and the maps! They work great in roll20!

I got this to 'sample' the full collection and I can say for sure I'll be buying the whole set! While I'm not using most of the tips in this booklet, they do provide some excellent food for thought, and have ultimately made me make some of my own changes to how I'm going to run the first chapter of WDH. However, the big draw for me is the maps! I love them! I run D&D in Foundry, so having maps that are actually aligned on a grid unlike the ones in the base book (it's baffling that they aren't, really!) is invaluable. Makes it so easy to set up stuff like walls and doors, to run the game in a way I really like.

I can't recommend this DM's Resource bundle highly enough! I found Dragon Heist overwhelming at first, but this guide pulls out the essentials, highlights what you need to know, and makes smart suggestions for how to handle some of the more difficult pieces of the adventure. This is THE resource to get to cut down your DM workload and make your game more fun.

I've been a GM through every edition since AD&D. That said, I can honestly say that I've seen everything from awful to amazing in third party content. I find this suppliment to Waterdeep: Dragon Heist's First Chapter "A Friend in Need" is pretty wonderful in fact.

WHY? 1). First off, the PDF comes in both a nice fancy version and a plain text version. Personally, I printed the plain text document, which I find less distracting and can easily make notes on when running a game. I highly appreciate the graphic design and layout of the "fancy" version, however. 2). Extra Content. The first part of the suppliment is dedicated to enhancing content and maybe even covering some gaps in the adventure. You'll have to buy it to get into the details, but I will say the Sava game was especially helpful and helped make a memorible NPC the group has come across a couple of times now. 3). THE DM'S NOTES - This was gold for me. If you read the "A Friend in Need" DM's Notes over, print it out and have it ready, you ARE a well prepared DM for your game. It covers, step by step, what happens in bullet point format that is easy to cross off, highlight, and make notes.
4). The Monster Stats. The suppliment gives you all the relevant stats for your encounters in the chapter. This seems like a small thing until you start to wrestle with several books when your DM'ing the chapter. Once again , I simply print off the suppliment, read the monsters/villiams over and make any notes I need. 5). A Map. You get a nice map of the Yawning Portal to boot.

I would highly recommend buying the entire DM's resource set for the Waterdeep: Dragon Heist book.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate that it will be a concise tool that assists me to get the most out of the adventure without geting lost or having to refer back to primary text too often (which breaks the continuity of action). Very worth the money just for the maps and chapter enhancement suggestions alone and I will be purchasing other chapters as my adventure progresses!

I love this product and the prices are pretty darn good too. The map artwork is great and I can fit it to the tabletop simulator I am using where I can't seem to get the ones from the digital copy of the book I bought from Wizards to fit correctly. The ideas given for the encounters in this section of the campaign are also really great. It makes it a lot easier to figure out why a certain event happens. (Sorry I seem so evasive. I'm trying to be spoiler free for those who haven't played Dragon Heist.)

I hadn't discovered this until after I ran the first chapter with my current group. This would have made some things so much easier for me. Love all the resources included.

Planning on running Dragon Heist after the campaign we're just starting and the first thing I did was get most of the companion PDFs for this. It's been a great resource so far and makes me even more excited about running this campaign!

Amazingly helpful, especially the organized list of stat blocks at the end. However you did leave out Nihiloor's stats, which would be useful in case the players decide to attack him (as mine did).

For $2 this resource is really great. I bought this resource initially for the HD Yawning Portal map for use on Roll20, but the more I read about the ideas within, the happier I was with the purchase. Excellent resource.

This product has been an incredible resource so far. The PDF gives advice on making the characters more involved, something I felt the original module lacked. The DM notes in the back have become an invaluable tool

Great resource! Bought it to have all the stat blocks in one palce. The idea with bringing the blackstaff in was worth the two bucks on its own!

Dragon Heist chapter 1 starts off strong, but this supplement is a hit of steroids. While streamlining the first chapter into a single page bullet-listed summary helps a Dungeon Master keep the adventure organized with ease, it is the extra details to each section that really shine. The Yawning Portal comes to life with flavorful additions and suggestions that sucked my party in immediately. As the party began their first quest, the early introduction of City Watch Captains and certain Moneylenders gave the city a "bigger than it looks" feel. If you're running Dragon Heist, this supplement is a must have. There's so much to love I even forgot to mention the INCREDIBLE map of the Yawning Portal that is included. Get it now!
