About the adventure
🌀 The stakes run high on the Infinite Staircase, but not without equal reward; for when you help fulfill some's wish, there's a good chance one of yours is answered... 🧙♂️ Hello and welcome to the Infinite Staircase! A dimension of platforms, stairways and doors where each unique doorway leads to an adventure all its own. From the void of realmspace to the familiar planes of Faerun or beyond. With the staircase's Escherian form the paths are endless and interweaving. Your adventures could take you to anywhere in the planespace. If you crave adventure hopping along the edges of reality, the staircase is the place for you! What you can expect: 🎭 Deep character development & roleplay hopping from plane to plane ⚔️ Balanced, tactical combat encounters 🗺️ High-quality virtual tabletop maps & immersive audio 🔰 Beginner-friendly! New to the game? I will teach you everything you need to know. ✨More Info: The module Quests from The Infinite Staircase is a collection of classic Dungeon & Dragons mini modules smashed into a multidimensional setting with an encroaching darkness. The module does not originally include a major overarching plot and just gives loose threads to apply to your players character's stories. The beauty of this module gives us some flexibility in origins and where we begin and go! I have ran this module before and have developed a grander plot that fits well for weaving in players and the unique environment they find themselves in. Generally speaking, all content official published for 5e (2014) can be considered for character creation with an emphasis on saying yes with some adjusts for story cohesiveness. We can go anywhere and do anything. (Open to playing the 2024 update if the majority of players prefer that!)

About me
Hello! My name is Sean! I've been playing tabletops since a young age when I played in my first D&D campaign with my older brother as DM. It's been love since then and I took up running games throughout my youth and adulthood. I am new to online tabletops as a DM, but excited to bring my fun and player focused style to everyone!

Creating your character
Dndbeyond! No homebrew classes but most of the classes and races of the greater dnd multiverse can be used and fit into this setting.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
ill send a link for a discord and play link to join the campaign in DNDBeyond! Just have an account ready to go, I have plenty of material for you to use!
What Sean brings to the table
🎲 Large collection of modules and materials on Beyond! 🗺️ Large collections of art and tokens for use in the game. Maps, tokens, and art/scenes galore! I make use of custom map building and scene building tools and set us all into the world and bring the theater of mind a nice guiding visual. 🎭 I love to use music and ambient sounds to help facilitate our story telling. Voices are never required and I use them occasionally especially in roleplayed interactions. ⚔️ Combat will range from objective based to tradition tactical intensity. Because this campaign can net you access to the spell Wish, some events and story moments are designed to tempt players into using those wishes in the form of dire interpersonal stakes to intense combat. 📖 I am all about player exploration and freedom, but given the nature of starting a campaign there will be some linear quests near the very start, but once we get started the path is yours! 🧑🎨 In all likelihood I will probably use a camera alongside my microphone during our game play as I think my storytelling is better with a visual of me, but that does not mean players have to use anything beyond a mic and I will let folks know session to session if my camera will be up! I also have a cool top-down camera set up so I can set up terrain encounters and minis to display alongside digital maps for important encounters or fights!
Homebrew rules
I make use of the bonus action potions and casting spells with actions and bonus actions in the same turn are allowed. For crits and other game specific rule adjustments those will all be agreed upon in session 0.

Safety
How Sean creates a safe table
my safety checklists and session zero guidelines follow most industry standards. I like to use general documents like a basic line and veils document alongside Cook's checklist and couple other consensus tools to get everyone on the same safety page. After we establish our game standards a custom group safety agreement will be sent out prior to session 1. It can be modified to fit our needs as we go with group consensus. Topics such as SA or other typical blacklist items will be mentioned in session 0 and agreed upon. This campaign does feature potential PC death and alcohol and tobacco use. Most of the module can be adjusted for phobias or fears as well. Some common ones are tagged. In game X, N, and O cards are easy ways to resolve issues that might arrive. :D
