The Waterdeep Trading Company Project Diary

Posted by Author and Purveyor of the finest Collars & Tack for Canine & Equine Performances at Microsoft on

I am reviving an old project that started a while ago and has started up a new project blog to track the progress. Being a lifelong fan of Dungeons & Dragons, with the unfortunate problem that I cannot find anyone to play with I have decided to create a test implementation Dynamics AX in the AD&D format just to see how it would work and if I can find some creative ways to use Dynamics AX and chose to implement the Waterdeep Trading Company as an example where I can track their many legal (and not so legal) entities within Faerûn.

In this project, we will walk through a simpler setup of Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations, using the sample demo database that is delivered with the demo systems so that you can quickly create your own Waterdeep Trading Company legal entity and even tweak it so that it is more in the spirit of adventuring in the Dungeons & Dragons theme.

All of the content for this will be available through the Dynamics Companions website as Premium Member Content only and will include the walkthrough and the PowerPoint companions that you will be able to download in their original formats.

Here is a snippet of the first step in the guides.
