D&D 5E (2024) Thoughts on Infinite Staircase?

[Zardnaar]

So last session a player lent e tge alt art copy of Tales From Infinite Staircase.

WotC usually has excellent production values and this was impressive.

Read some of the adventures I'm familiar with 4 of them and have played 3 iirc. Overall happy with them.

Anyway the loan turned into a gift as the player found another copy for $20 and it was a thank you for permanent DMimg. He may have ulterior motives as there may be a gap between my campaign end and the new FR and Eberron books coming out. A gap a shorter adventure can fill.

So generally the WotC hardcover are lol meh with the exceptions of the anthology books. I like most of the ones I own (Yawning Portal, Candlekeep, Saltmarsh, Golden Vault).

Radiant Citadels the weakest, concept is kinda interesting though.

I have the digital version for my VTT of choice. The adventures are great, and classics for a reason. I don't really like the framing vehicle for using them together as a campaign but it's easy enough to drop them into an existing campaign. I just started running The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth for one my existing groups and we'll probably segue right into Barrier Peaks after that.

The only problem I have with this product is that a few years ago I created 5e conversions of The Lost City and Pharaoh to serve as the basis for a desert campaign; I could have saved myself a lot of work if I'd known this was coming!

Been running this for my group with the 24 rules for about the last year and having a blast. Used the campaign frame, but occasionally head off on adventures from other anthologies. Works perfectly with Nafas as the patron. Party is level 10 now and next adventure will be a home brew BG3 followup (one of the PCs is the son of their BG3 character) combined with some Iron Shadow stuff to put in the threat to Nafas.

Players have had an absolute blast with the material, and I've found it easy to run, though not as easy as Dungeon Delves adventures. Used on of those for the last mission and it was great as well.

It’s a REALLY long walk?

Nice I need to read it more.

Pmayer who donates it read Lost Cacerns and Crystal Caves.

Updates seem decent as well.

It's a really good collection. Good original adventures updated skilfully. I've only run Barrier Peaks from it so far (and Lost Caverns in ye olden days).

Well i had fun reading Lost City and thought the conversion was decent.

Yeah, I think the person doing the update must have read Red Nails beforehand to get the feel.

Idk what red nails is.

I like B4. Partly nostalgic but that doesn't apply to say B2.

Conan story that was the original inspiration.
