A Forger's Guide to Waterdeep (Skullport and Barovia too!) Have you wanted assets to build a forgery scenario into your adventures¸ wanted more realistic wax seals for your missives¸ or wanted your character to become a master forger? If so¸ this might be for you. Intended for both Dungeon Masters and players¸ this document covers all the major organizations found in Waterdeep - Dragonheist¸ Waterdeep - Dungeon of the Mad Mage ¸ and Curse of Strahd (with numerous other organizations covered in legacy Waterdeep publications). This publication includes: A summary of the rules of forgery and forging equipment. 180 unique seals listed below with PNG files (plus a couple other failed forgeries and a variant for RP purposes)¸ which can be printed out on notes¸ titles¸ deeds¸ orders¸ whatever. A Master Forger NPC. A hook to get a character down the path of becoming a Master Forger.

I also changed some of the previously included guild images to better match each guilds' livery description¸ changed a few of the previously included house seals¸ and changed the Watchful Order of Magists and Protectors from the faction-styled seal to a guild-styled seal. I also reorganized the seals so each type is in its own zipfile (houses¸ guilds¸ factions¸ etc).
