I've set up the idea of paradoxes fucking with the Creator's original plans. The Astronaut found this Earth by dimension-hopping, which he discovered to actually be time-traveling. He crossed to a new dimension that happened to be exactly the same as his, but billions of years in the future.
Fucked up reality a bit. I had originally planned on the Astronaut leaving again to go back in time to make things better, only to start the events that make it so shitty, but one Charisma build PC seduced him and talked him into stay.
Another paradox. Made the Creator lose more control. Should they brainstorm up paradoxes to break reality enough to affect him?

The Necrostar communicates with the living world through a prophet NPC, who teases the PCs, but them being lawful good, haven't attacked the messenger who hasn't really done anything. I could have her become an avatar and more direct vessel of the Necrostar's power to fuck up some shit, drawing the PCs out to attack her and maybe figure out a way to hurt the Necrostar through that fight.
I did give them Irridium, small green radiated minerals that counteract the Necrostar's purple energy. But nuking the Sun would be crazy. And kind of a let down of a climax to just fly a bomb into the sun. There's no big fight involved or anything. Idk, maybe there doesn't have to be.

pic related, the party.

Several groups of clerics from different religions as well as scholars and sages have started a philosophy club that discusses the nature of reality based on what the PCs have discovered. Every time they make a break through in learning about what's really going on, they either receive a jarring vision of the doom to come, or some shit hits the fan (horde of magma zombies erupt from the volcano right next to town).
The more they understand, the angrier God gets. Maybe enlightenment would allow them to transcend physical shackles and take on the God of Gods. If they did that, what would he be like? A high level caster with special Lair abilities? Every class? A puzzle fight? Not sure if anyone's had experience with this kind of endgame.

The true agenda of Khal, the Creator, is hidden from the PCs. But he's also just a manifestation of the people who created this horribly evil world. We wanted to play a "Hard-Mode" dnd campgain where only the strongest survive. If you don't have player levels, you're dead. Goblins of this world are four-armed trolls.
The idea is that an old chaotic evil party we've played in the past ended a campaign by destroying, then creating a universe. They made it horrible and fucked up on purpose in hopes of forcing Heroes to be forged and overcome the evil in their paths (much like the evil party overcame Good) and make the world a truly Good place. Better than the one they were from where such foul things were allowed to happen.

Well these evil creators made a deal with the guy who created them that whoever made the best universe by a deadline gets to be "reality" permanently. After hearing about past heroes failing and only being meant to allow the PCs to exist, it would be crushing to realize that even the PCs lives and accomplishes are just a part of some bet.
But the idea is that they can break out of that context and use this endtimes opportunity to start a new future, a brighter one, where Good triumphs over evil, not the other way around like they've always known.
