Map of the Problematique

About the adventure

"The Infinite Staircase spirals endlessly in a vast, dreamlike expanse, twisting upward and downward to countless doors linked to every world and plane of existence. It is the route to the heart's desire, an extradimensional staircase that leads to all places. Beyond its myriad portals lie enchanting Feywild gardens, sunken cities ruled by ancient evils, and untold adventures. Legends state that by diligently searching the staircase's landings, a wistful traveler can find the door to the destination of their dreams...." That's all well and good, but what if you and a group of others awaken to find yourselves on one of the infinite landings with no memory of how you got there? What if your only hope rests (quite literally, it turns out) on the shoulders of a strangely-tattooed man whose haunted eyes betray his knowledge of how many seconds exist in eternity? What if he reveals the tattoo to be a map of the Multiverse, and that you were brought to the Staircase to protect the map from an entity beyond the Multiverse, and that failure would mean the unravelling of EVERYTHING? So begins a tale of strangers in a strange place. Each of you have been pulled into the Infinite Staircase from your individual worlds by some unknown force to perform a seemingly-impossible task. You band together to traverse the Staircase, hoping each new door you open will be the one that leads to your salvation and--with a little luck--home. This campaign uses elements from the "Quests from the Infinite Staircase" module, as well as a fair amount of homebrewing, and is designed for 3-6 players to take their 1st-level characters all the way to 20th level.
