About the adventure

Welcome to Spelljammer Academy! Promising recruits are trained here under the tutelage of experienced spelljammers, who prepare fledgling spacefarers for the perils of Wildspace and the Astral Sea. Cadets learn the finer points of ship-to-ship combat, space exploration, and (in some cases) clandestine operations. The newest batch of recruits has just arrived after a long, arduous sea voyage, but there’s still much to do! Although it’s business as usual at Spelljammer Academy, the new cadets soon learn that strange things are afoot.

About me

I am a storyteller at my core. The collaborative and versatile format of TTRPG’s (Table Top Role-Playing Games for the uninitiated), happens to be one of my favorite ways to tell my stories; because in this way they’re not solely mine but they are in large part formed around the players I have at my table; virtual or otherwise. My love of Dungeons and Dragons began in middle school when my dad ran my first game for me and my younger brother. He had grown up in the 80’s and played the first modules and systems released by TSR at that time. When he set up that game for my brother and I, it fascinated me and sparked my imagination in a way that no other medium of entertainment had; or, I suspect will. Not too long afterward the 5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons was released and I bought all of the initial books. I roped anyone who would let me into a myriad of games; extended family members, younger siblings and friends alike. As time went by, I discovered shows like Critical Role and realized that D&D was becoming something more than an underground game enjoyed and talked about in hushed tones. It was becoming a cultural phenomenon again. This spurred me to hone my talents and develop a specific style as a DM. I ran games throughout high school and college and introduced many new players to the game. The spark that I encountered my first time playing, is the very same spark I see in the eyes of new players when they suddenly realize, ‘Wait! I can do THAT?!’. Fanning that spark into a flame for another person is by far my favorite thing about this method of storytelling. In more recent years I have done my best to learn more about other games and systems for a broader scope of stories and experiences that I can give to my players. I am always looking to become more accomplished and hone my craft. I suppose the long and short of it is: I am comfortable with brand new and seasoned players alike, and it is of utmost importance to me that you, the player, come away from whatever story we’re telling together feeling excited and like you collaborated with others. I would be honored to DM or GM for you and see what adventures await us! Onward and Upward!

Character creation

Creating your character

You will need to create a 1st level character for this Spelljammer campaign. You do not have to use the lineages from the Spelljammer core set but a lot of tie in's to the setting with them. Pretty much any class or lineage option goes. If you'd like a premade character I can provide you with one. At session 0 we'll go over party makeup and lock in everyone's choices.

Safety

How Sawyer creates a safe table

The tags detail things that MIGHT come up in a game of 5e Spelljammer, NOT things that WILL come up. It is very important to me as game master that all of my players feel safe an comfortable at the table so they can focus on the game and the freedom to role play. Lines and veils will be discussed extensively beforehand, and integrated into the game experience before play.
