🗺️💫🌌Quests from the Infinite Staircase🌌💫🗺️: 2024 Rules

Creating your character

Character Creation Character creation will take place during Session 0 so we can build characters together and ensure party cohesion. If you join after Session 0, I will provide the creation guidelines and schedule a brief voice chat to build your character and integrate them smoothly into the campaign. Characters begin at Level 1, or at the current party level if joining mid-campaign. Rules & Guidelines: 2024 rules All official Wizards of the Coast content permitted Point Buy for ability scores Milestone leveling Standard starting equipment (characters joining mid-campaign will receive appropriate gear and magic items to match the party) Backstory Requirements: Any background is welcome, but your character must include: How they died What their soul is fighting to return for This campaign begins after death. Your personal stakes matter. The stronger your motivation to return to life, the more powerful the story becomes.

What Thomas Jarvis brings to the table

I bring a fully prepared, cinematic experience built around strong storytelling and meaningful player choice. Expect dynamic roleplay, distinct NPC voices, and character-driven arcs that evolve throughout the campaign. Combat is tactical, challenging, and engaging. I run encounters with clear stakes and strategic depth while keeping the pacing tight and exciting. Creative solutions are rewarded, and smart play matters. This game will be run on a virtual tabletop with curated maps, tokens, and visual support. I provide access to all necessary rules content, so you do not need to own any books. Most importantly, your character matters. Personal backstories, motivations, and choices will influence the world and shape the resurrection saga as you climb the Infinite Staircase.

Homebrew rules

How Thomas Jarvis creates a safe table

Player comfort and trust are essential at my table. During Session 0, we will establish clear Lines and Veils to ensure everyone understands boundaries and content expectations. These guidelines are respected throughout the campaign. I also use Stars and Wishes at the end of sessions to gather feedback. This allows players to highlight what they enjoyed and what they would like to see more of, helping the campaign evolve in a way that serves the group. If anything ever becomes uncomfortable during play, players may speak up openly or message me privately. Adjustments will be made without question. My goal is to maintain a collaborative, respectful environment where everyone feels safe engaging fully in the story. This is a character-driven campaign that explores themes of death and resurrection, but it will always prioritize player agency and comfort.
