Waterdeep Dragon Heist review Part I
In this episode we do a SPOILER FREE deep dive into the Waterdeep Dragon Heist and give a player perspective review of the City of Splendors. Other podcasts give adventure campaign reviews WITHOUT playing the game. We at Geeks of Cascadia play the adventure from beginning to end before we give you a review. So at least you know we are not full of crap, we know what we’re talking about. 

This episode is ideal for any player who is about to play a character in D&D’s Waterdeep Dragon Heist. We give you, as a player, what your character would already know about this Sword Coast metropolis. If you’re a DM let your players listen to this review. Save printing copies of Volo’s Waterdeep Enchiridion or the Code Legal that your players may or may not read but NEED TO KNOW to play this fantastic adventure.
