Spelljammer Academy / Light of Xaryxis - Light's Out! | Level 6
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Fly to space in magic ships! 🌌 Meet fun and interesting aliens! 👽 Don't let them kill you! 💀 Wildspace is a weird and fantastical place, but don't worry - school is now in session! It's time to become fresh recruits training to be the next generation of fantasy-space adventurers. But after a tumultuous basic training that tests more than our heroes bargained for, graduation is just the beginning of their story. When the entire planet is threatened by an oppressive elven space empire, our heroes will need to step into the spotlight and save the day! This is a 5e campaign for 3-6 adventurers and will span from level 1 to 8 across the modules Spelljammer Academy (level 1-4) and Light of Xaryxis (level 5-8). The campaign will use tactical maps for most combats. These are tales of daring heroics, cunning ruses, and grand journeys of swashbuckling adventure for scrappy heroes!
Party Composition (level 6): Sorcerer, Druid, Cleric, Sorlock, Rogue (2024 rules) Current Status: With Toril endangered by the Xaryxian Empire, our heroes have traveled to the Rock of Bral seeking allies, but the Rock may already be compromised, and if the empire is to be stopped, our heroes may just have to do it themselves! Will you join them?

How to prepare
A microphone is required to participate. A webcam is encouraged, but not necessary. I will have my camera on, and I'd love to see you too! We will be using Discord and Roll20 to play, so you will need (free) accounts for both of them. You might want to download the Discord client as well. Dice and character sheets will be handled within Roll20.
What I provide
As GM, I will provide the adventure itself, including maps and tokens. I will provide access to sourcebooks through D&D Beyond. I can provide pre-generated characters on request. Dice rolling may be handled through Roll20, through D&D Beyond (with the Beyond20 browser extension), or with physical dice.
Gameplay details
Light of Xaryxis is a swashbuckling space-opera full of diabolical villains and galactic-scale threats. It includes some darker elements including planetary destruction, racial conflict, and self-sacrifice. It is also a story of heroic individuals making a difference against overwhelming odds. This game will contain elements of violence and peril comparable to a PG-13 rated film. Please let me know if there are additional things I need to be aware of to maintain your comfort and safety. Racism, sexism, transphobia, ableism, and all other discrimination will not be tolerated.

How will character creation work
We will discuss character ideas and the party's backstory during Session 0. Please send your character sheet to me at least 24 hours before the Session 1 for approval. I am available to talk through character creation ahead of time, and can provide a pre-generated character upon request. Player characters are 1st level using the 2024 rules with starting equipment. Use the Standard Array or 27 Point Buy for ability scores. Any officially published material is available for use, and homebrew and customization will be allowed, subject to review.
