About the adventure
Astral Seeds have rained down for days now. But the people of the world or Toril are unaware that these "shooting stars" are much more than what they appear... Bursting through the planets surface all at once, reaching upwards past the clouds in only minutes, the seeds have sprouted! If you're lucky, someone has changed the face of your world forever. If you're not, Toril will be destroyed. Will you be brave enough to take on these Astral Elves who would steal the heat of your planet? Will you be strong enough to overcome their Solar Dragons? Will you stop Xaryxis in time to save your home world? Join in on this Seplljamming adventure through Wildpace, foreign Star Systems, and even the Astral Sea as you attempt to save your home world from destruction. Play as one of several space faring races including: Slimes, Gnomish Robots, Telepathic Bug Folk, or even seek vengeance against your own people as an Astral Elf yourself!

About me
Greetings Champion! My name's Eric (They/Them🏳🌈) online Bluku. Blu for short. I started playing D&D in 2020 and instantly fell in love with running the game. As a natural born story-teller with a flair for the fantastical and funny; along with the fearsome and ferocious I bring a fun, friendly, safe place to live the adventure that you want to live. I've been running weekly games for about 4 years. In that time I've DMed: The infamous Baldur's Gate: Decent into Avernus 😈 The Spelljamming space adventure known as The Light of Xarysis 👽 The dungeon anthology Tales from the Yawning Portal 🧟♀️ The puzzling experience of Candlekeep Mysteries Along with various one-shots, and two homebrew campaigns. Inclusivity, kindness, and a commitment to a fun and safe space are my promises to you, dear player. May the dice gods be with you 💖

Creating your character
Characters will begin the adventure at level 5 with standard adventuring gear, plus 625 gp to spend on additional nonmagical gear. Each character may also start with 1 uncommon magical item, subject to DM approval. Players may create their character using any species from The 2014 Players Handbook (PHB) or The Astral Adventurer’s Guide; any classes or subclasses from the PHB, Tahsas Chauldron of Everything, and Xanathars guide to everything; and backgrounds from the PHB and The the Astral Adventurer’s Guide. Starting Magic Items include those found in the Dungeon Masters Guide.
The characters have escaped their dying planet and have fled to The Rock of Bral, a city built onto the back of a massive asteroid not far from their home world. After meeting with Commodore Krux, a giff man who seems to share a dark past with the adventuring party, the adventuring group were accosted by even more Astral Elves looking for vengeance for their defeated captain! Will the party survive this encounter? Will Krux share his past with the adventurers? Will the group find out exactly what is killing their planet and where it came from? Only one way to find out! Looking for Level 6 adventurers who aren't afraid of the terrors of the void and a keen eye for vengeance! (Party is currently one rogue/fighter, one artificer, and one sorcerer.)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A discord account for communication A roll20 account for combat maps A D&D Beyond account for character creation Beyond 20 (a chrome extension that lets D&D Beyond and Roll20 collaborate) Google Chrome web browser A microphone for voice communication Highly recommend a computer or tablet. Roll20 works on phones, but screen size is a deterrent. These sites and plugins do work firefox, but I will not be able to help if tech problems arise.
What Bluku. brings to the table
An unforgettable adventure though space as well as all the materials needed to create a character and join the adventure. Years of experience and a natural talent for storytelling. Various quirky NPCs with their own ideals, flaws, and voices. I'm not afraid to throw myself into character and forget the real world exists. While I do run some intensely challenging combats and gritty, tough to choose situation. I also know that we're all here to have fun. You can expect a comfortable mix of silly times with silly characters, as well as edge-of-seat while-knuckle moments. Ending every session with a cliffhanger to keep suspense and making sure there's (almost) always a way to get back to safety when the time comes.

How Bluku. creates a safe table
We will have a group Session 0 to go over Content Warning and Safety Tools used as well as table rules, character creation, and campaign overview before session 1. Any newcomers after Session 1 will have a one on one Session 0 before joining the game to ensure table compatibility as well as understanding of the content and safety tools. I like to run a fun, fast paced game focused on character actions decisions. While I'm a big believer in letting characters make their own mistakes, will ask "are you sure you want to do that?" if you're unknowingly about to stick your head into an Orb of Annihilation. I have a zero-tolerance policy for bullying, sexual harassment, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and any other prejudicial behavior. Those who can't abide by these standards will be asked to leave with no refund.
