Crime comes to the mean streets of Waterdeep. Can your players some the mystery? Find out in the Rats of Waterdeep.

There’s a new adventure out for the DM’s Guild–only they’re calling it an investigation, presumably to reflect the focus on the mystery solving rather than combat of this module. Rats of Waterdeep is full of maps and handouts and a real interesting take on running an Urban Adventure.

If you’re looking to start a campaign set in Waterdeep, this is a great place to start as well. It’s got a lot of background on the city and the people in it, which is what you’d expect from a mystery–can’t have intrigue without people to cause it.

And this adventure is part of the Guild Adept program, which means special attention has been paid to it, and it might one day be Adventurer’s League legal. One of the co-authors is a writer on Tomb of Annihilation, so be sure and check it out.
