Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Homebrew Game | One-Shot

About the adventure

Prepare for a cosmic adventure unlike any other! In the hybrid fantasy sci-fi setting of Flayer's Flyer, you'll join the enigmatic Captain Flayer, a half-human mind flayer with a thirst for knowledge and a penchant for the unknown. Her starfaring vessel, the Flyer, is a unique blend of arcane magic and advanced technology, charting a course through the vast expanse of the D&D multiverse, beginning in DOOMSPACE from the SPELLJAMMER sourcebook. Each session brings new possibilities as the Flyer takes on temporary crew members to achieve her goals of exploration before this system destroys itself. Be a veteran dwarven artificer engineer, a nimble elven rogue pilot, a curious goblin druid xeno-biologist or hundreds of other space-faring ne'er-do-wells as you explore intriguing ruins, forgotten colonies and curious worlds. 🚀🚀🚀 Undertake one or many of these 1-shot homebrew exploration modules. They are easy for any player with a base understanding of 5e to jump right into. While there is an overarching narrative and players can bring items they've found from one Flyer session to the next, each encounter will get wrapped up in a nice bow at the end of each hour session. Join one or join 'em all - it's delightfully episodic in the most Trekkie of ways. Will you uncover ancient secrets, face cosmic horrors or simply help Captain Flayer find the best Wildspace mead? Join the crew of the Flayer's Flyer today and find out! You can make any Level 5 character of any race, alignment and class; with any abilities or feats you like from any of my books. Nothing is off the table. The setting is DOOMSPACE from Spelljammer but the encounters are homebrewed. I'll use 2024 rules in gameplay but you may make a hybrid, 5e or 2024 player character.

DM Darque provides a fun and exciting experience. Really good voice acting, fun plot and exciting combat. I highly recommend joining one of her Mad Mels one shots if your looking for some awesome combat in a thrilling setting.

Fun experience with DM Darque. Structure of game was well organized along with technical expertise with VTT. She graciously accommodated me signing up with less than 30 minutes notice. I would happily play again with her continuous one-shot campaign.
