Keys from the Golden Vault — 13 D&D Heist Adventures (Levels 1–11) | Dungeons & Dragons

Set the stage for daring heists in any D&D setting

Keys from the Golden Vault invites players into a secretive world where planning, teamwork, and quick thinking shape the outcome of every job. This anthology gathers 13 short, standalone adventures designed for character levels 1 through 11, so you can drop them into your current campaign or run them as self-contained one-shot sessions. You’ll feel the pulse of anticipation as you study a parchment map, scout a guarded vault, and trade whispers with potential contacts in smoky taverns.

Each adventure centers on a single heist, with in-world maps that help your party map the path from plan to execution. The design emphasizes player choice, offering multiple routes to success and space for improvisation as the crew advances through the plan, the risks, and the payoff. Expect tension, clever twists, and moments where clever problem-solving or careful social maneuvering can pull the job in a new direction.
