About the adventure
Normal life would never be the same again. Not since the flying ship came to rest in the middle of your humble place of origin. A man calling himself Crispin and his pet, an unusually large hamster sitting on his shoulder, addressed your entire town, looking for someone to join his crew and explore the worlds "beyond the stars." While most looked at him like a crazy man and kept their distance, you found his offer intriguing for one reason or another. So despite (or perhaps because of) your bonds and ties on this world, you accept a position on his ship, and set sail for locations and concepts you've never even dreamed of. Explore Wildspace and the Astral Sea in this space opera set in the furthest reaches of the D&D universe. Visit planets both canon and homebrew as you lead a nearly ageless life aboard a ship owned by an eccentric rich man and his crew of explorers. Welcoming to new and experienced players alike. Almost everyone's first D&D experience takes place on the Sword Coast - wouldn't you want your first adventure to be in space? Solar Sonata utilizes flavor and mechanics from Spelljammer: Adventures in Space. Some elements of Light of Xaryxis are used in addition to ample homebrew content to create a unique adventure that can be approached from a variety of ways.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Sandbox / Open World
In "Sandbox" or "Open World" games, players are given a tremendous amount of freedom to pursue their stories without the restrictions of a more linear game style. Players are encouraged to explore and engage with the world, and find their own story as they do so. These games offer the players the opportunity to help drive the narrative, and allow for the story to evolve organically through the choices they make.

What I provide
Virtual Tabletop: Quest Portal Character Creation: D&D Beyond Communication: Discord server Some Quest Portal scenes will contain ambient music. This feature can be disabled by the player if they wish. Rule of Cool tends to rule around here, but the rules themselves are important, too. But creativity is rewarded, so you can abide by the rules but still outshine and prove. Humor is great, too! Let's build a bizarre world together.
Gameplay details
Session Zero will focus on character creation, Lines and Veils, as well as discussions regarding what is expected from myself as the GM, and from you as a player. My door in Discord is always open if you have questions, concerns, or ideas.
