DMs need every tool at their disposal to manage it. </p><p></p><p>One of the best ways I’ve found to manage it is to have it written down. Sketching out ideas for hooks, motivations, encounters, and NPCs before the game starts can be a lifesaver (I know I struggle at times to come up with NPC names on the fly!).

The eight scenarios in this collection each feature a different plane, but there are more than 20 more that are outside the scope of these adventures. And that doesn’t include the various layers of each plane which can offer unique challenges and environments all on their own!</p><p></p><p>Expanding the multiverse and encompassing more planes is beyond the scope of this product, but if you are looking for more details, you can find <strong><em>Codex of the Infinite Planes</em></strong> on the DMsGuild. That weighty tome includes detailed descriptions, mechanics, features, inhabitants, and sites of all the Inner Planes, Echo Planes, Transitive Planes, and Outer Planes, along with information on traveling the planes through paths like the River Styx, River Oceanus, and Yggdrasil the World Tree.</p><p></p><p>You do not need a copy of <strong><em>Codex of the Infinite Planes</em></strong> to run the adventures in this collection; all of the relevant mechanical details are reprinted in each adventure along with descriptions and highlights necessary to run the scenarios on each plane. But you can expand upon each with details found in the <strong><em>Codex</em></strong>, and even add more monsters with the companion title, <strong><em>Monsters of the Infinite Planes</em></strong>, also available on the DMsGuild. An infinite source of adventure opportunity awaits!</p><p></p><h3><strong>Adventure Length</strong></h3><p>Each adventure presented in this collection should run between 4 and 8 hours as written, depending largely on how the party approaches each situation and their general size. Each adventure scenario can also be expanded upon to encompass elements of one or more characters’ background, or continued utilizing the villains and NPCs introduced in each scenario.</p><p></p><h3><strong>Adventure Overviews</strong></h3><p>This book contains the following sections.</p><p></p><p><strong><em>World Serpent Inn</em></strong> provides a broad overview of the World Serpent Inn, a planar hub and potential home base for any band of planar adventurers. It’s a bustling place of infinite doors and infinite possibilities, and includes a host of patrons who could provide jobs for adventurers and sprawling, unknown sites worth exploring. This section also includes details on using the World Serpent Inn as a Group Patron along with five detailed encounters used to introduce and adventure within the mysterious planar tavern.</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Jade Waters Job</em></strong> is a 2nd-level scenario that takes the party to the City of Glass on the Plane of Water in the employ of a marid merchant. Once in the metropolitan planar city, the marid is robbed, and the thieves take refuge in the frozen underworld of the city where no patrols dare enter.</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Trial of the Wine Lord</em></strong> is a 3rd-level scenario featuring Bacchus, Lord of Wine, being accused of criminal activities in the elven realm on the plane of Arborea. The quest to clear Bacchus’ name takes the party across the first two layers of Aborea to find the truth.</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Jewel of the First Khan</em></strong> is a 5th-level scenario set on the Plane of Earth. The characters find the resting place of a fabulous jewel possessed by the first Great Khan of the Dao, but it seems they may be too late – leading into a hunt for the thief.</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Roots of the Hungry Mine </em></strong>is a 7th-level scenario set on both Twin Paradies of Bytopia. It seems a mining operation on the wild layer has gone silent and the surveyor who found it needs help figuring out what happened.</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Dreams of Brass</em></strong> is a 9th-level scenario focused on the City of Brass in the Plane of Fire. A plot to overthrow the Grand Sultan pulls the characters into unfolding events involving a cult of water worshippers and a displaced salamander queen.</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Vault of Dusk</em></strong> is an 11th-level scenario taking the party to the Plane of Faerie. The fallen elven city of Cendriane has long attracted treasure-seekers, and the characters must navigate its dark streets in order to find a site of incredible power before a band of drow beat them to it.</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Riddle of Hate</em></strong> is a 13th-level scenario that unfolds on Elysium, a normally peaceful plane of rugged individuality and good nature. Some sinister forces have infiltrated the plane and the party stumbles onto their devising in a journey into the mysterious swampy layer of Elysium. </p><p></p><p><strong><em>Labyrinth of Scorn</em></strong> is a 15th-level scenario that serves as a follow-up to <strong><em>Riddle of Hate</em></strong>. Now, the party is tasked with taking on a minotaur king in his own labyrinth lair on Gehenna, but before that they must find the Crawling City of the yugoloths and pull off a daring art heist.</p><p></p><p></p><h3>Want a multiverse of adventure to explore?
