About the adventure
Welcome to the Infinite Staircase—a boundless, twisting nexus that connects all realms, all times, and all possibilities. At each landing, a door. Behind each door, a new world. At each threshold you are met by the custodian of the staircase, Nafas, offering quests to the brave, the bold, and the curious. As a team, you will step through a new door, a portal—mystery, danger, and discovery lie beyond. *PROMPT* You all met before venturing to the Infinite Staircase, a place which you all had heard tales of before setting off to find the staircase. Always on the lookout for a way to the staircase, but still yet to find it. You have traveled far and wide, completing quests—following one such quest you are celebrating at the local tavern. A hooded figure sits in the corner. Amongst the topics of conversation you all begin to discuss new rumors and ideas of how to access the Infinite Staircase. Suddenly the hooded figure rises and crosses to your table. "The Infinite Staircase you say? I know a way to access the staircase if adventure is what you desire." Who are you? What brought you to join this merry band of heroes? What intrigues you about the staircase? Why do you want to traverse it? What is it about the quests that await you on the staircase that entices you?

About me
Hi! My name is Spencer, I have been running D&D one shots and campaigns since 2023, I enjoy running both pre-written campaigns and stories, as well as writing some of my own. My tables are inclusive, encourage creativity, and try to immerse you in the action through interactive maps and soundscapes. All levels of experience are welcome at my table, whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a first-time player! I am always adding more listings to my profile, but if there's a game you want to play or would like to discuss a custom booking please don't hesitate to reach out. IN-PERSON SESSIONS I am also available for in-person sessions in the New Jersey area, please reach out for further details. These are great for birthday parties, corporate events, and much more. Let's talk about what you're looking to do with your next in-person event!

Creating your character
We will be using all standard and expanded rules to create characters, 3rd party content will not be permitted. Please review classes and subclasses that you are interested in playing - we will discuss our preferences at the table to ensure no overlap before going into one-on-ones to discuss your backstory and more in-depth character information as GM and Player. Character sheets will be created at the table in Session 0. Please note: only one of each class will be allowed to ensure we have a nice balance amongst the team. If you believe you might have existing bonds with another character that is allowed and encouraged if backstories align. The GM will also facilitate existing bonds during this session.

What Spencer brings to the table
As a GM I love creating environment, tension, and scenes through soundscapes (Syrinscape) as well as descriptive narration. I also love to follow the impulses of players and their characters to further develop our story.

Safety
How Spencer creates a safe table
My general Rules of Engagement are as follows: - Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, and Transphobia are not tolerated. Any instances of such will result in one warning before being ejected from the game - Language: swearing/cursing should not be directed at each other - No cross chatter on video calls, private chats are fine - Should you encounter play that you are uncomfortable with, private message me as the GM to let me know what has made you uncomfortable. Should it require a break I will call for one, or should it just require a redirection of the action I will make adjustments as needed. - Breaks will be given at strategic moments of game play called by the GM or as requested. CONTENT WARNINGS: Please note that all content is subject to the players comfort. Any content can be shifted or adjusted to meet needs. The only content that is unavoidable is violence through normal combat scenarios.
