Quick Review of Waterdeep Dragon Heist:

Waterdeep: Dragon Heist is a great introductory adventure. It helps players get set up in a large city in which they can partake in many quests, adventures and hijinks.

There is some variety in the story depending on which main villain is used and what factions the PCs join. And it is more of a treasure hunt than a heist. You aren’t stealing, you are trying to find the treasure.

This adventure is friendly for new DMs too. You might need to adjust a few things based on the villain, but there is not a ton of things to track or confusing plotlines to follow. And for more seasoned DMs there is some space for you to add your own encounters and flavor.

Waterdeep Dragon Heist a great adventure for new and longtime DnD players of 5th edition. The book contains a quality adventure and plenty of information on the city of Waterdeep.
