5.5e D&D 2024 - The Mystery of the Infinite Staircase
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
People who throw coins into wishing wells to get their hearts desires are idiots. Wishes are granted by stepping through doors. Step through a door into the Infinite Staircase, where the wish of your heart can be gained by answering the wishes of others in service to the noble djinni Nafas. If, of course, the Iron Shadow doesn't fall upon a door to your dreams. The Iron Shadow, a faceless malevolence that steals creativity and life, has been spreading throughout the Staircase, and no one knows why. At the same time, Nafas, the congenial storyteller, is seeking a group capable of dealing with a most potent wish, one with the potential to reshape the status quo between the lower planes and the world you hold dear. Welcome, to the Infinite Staircase! We will be exploring this curious setting, and embarking on a journey through the classic adventures contained therein, and beyond, to the conclusion of whatever dark dream troubles Nafas, and perhaps the secret at the bottom of the Iron Shadows destructive work.

I recently joined one of Tim's campaigns and have been having a great time! The story is immersive, the group creative and collaborative, the rule of cool is always in play. Tim blends animated actions, voices, music, and humor into his DM style and it is fantastic.

Fantastic all around DM. From descriptions that immerse you into the scene to highlighting the best of each player, he does it all.

Timothy is a fantastic Game Master. He creates an environment where players can have a wonderful time and explore their characters how they want to. He has extensive system mastery, but is accommodating to help support the story actions when appropriate. I would recommend him to any player, regardless of your experience. If you're new he'll be there to assist you along the way as your own personal cheerleader and guide. If you're a veteran you can enjoy trying to trip him up instead, a very daunting task. If you're looking to be part of a game with beautiful maps, incredible ambiance, engaging story, dynamic voices, and contagious energy I cannot say enough good things about Timothy. Do yourself a favor and give a game of his try, you won't regret it. And if you do let him know, he wants to hear any and all feedback. The sign of someone truly dedicated to delivering the best games possible.

So far each session has been great and we'll played by him and those he has picked to play together. Definitely been suspenseful and exciting

Timothy knows his stuff. You can tell he is a very experienced DM and has been doing this for a long time. This was my first session joining an already running Curse of Strahd campaign (this was Session #2) and he had a cool introduction story for my character allowing him to meet with the existing party. Aside from that, the visuals were great, the sound, music and ambience are well put together via Syrinscape. All of this was combined eloquently together via Foundry VTT, a great tool for D&D campaigns if you know how to use it right, and Timothy definitely does. Overall, it was a great first session and I'm excited about what's in store.

I'm new to Tims games but I'm certainly here to stay. :)
Additional details
How to prepare
Though I highly encourage use of a webcam, in order to give me visual feedback to enhance your experience, Mic access, a free D&D beyond account, and a modern browser like Chrome are the only absolute necessities.
What I provide
I provide access to all content on D&D Beyond, a world within Foundry Virtual Tabletop, a Discord server for communication, and soundscapes for ambiance. I use character voices to attempt to differentiate and improve upon the portrayal of NPCs, and run a reasonable Rules as Written game, though I'm always willing to explore cool actions. I attempt to adjust my style to you, the player, instead of being too stuck in my own style, because your enjoyment at the table is paramount for me. You can expect that I'll be attentive and excited for game, and will strive every week to provide an experience that will make you want to come back next week.
Gameplay details
We host a Session 0 to cover any major concerns, and people are always free to step away as needed. I am approachable at any time to discuss anything that might (or has) caused trouble, and am happy to police the table to keep difficult or uncomfortable topics from coming up in game. We will have a channel set aside for leaving feedback within Discord, as well as private messages.

How will character creation work
Characters will be created using the 2024 rules for Dungeons and Dragons 5e! Certain elements of 2014 rules may be allowable upon request, including Subclasses and Species, but otherwise we will be testing the new rules thoroughly and making the change with the bandaid ripped off! If you're interested in trying out D&D 2024, this is a great place for you.
