About the adventure
A Lost Spelljammer. A Spreading Curse. A Perilous Voyage. Centuries ago, spelljammers sailed freely among the crystal spheres. Now, the stars have gone dim. A mysterious astral plague is unraveling mortal essence—warping spell, soul, and body alike. The Concordance of Realms has only one hope left: a lost ship that vanished into Wildspace long ago. Rumors whisper of The Tabula Rasa, a legendary spelljammer whose crew rejected arcane augmentation and carried with them the rarest of mortals—those born with true psionic power. Now, the vessel has been found again, drifting silent and dead in the Astral Sea. You are part of a handpicked crew—mercenaries, mages, priests, and explorers—sent to board the ghost ship and uncover its secrets. But the vessel is vast, ancient, and far from empty. Within may lie the salvation of countless worlds… or their final ruin. What to Expect Tense exploration aboard a derelict spelljamming vessel lost for centuries High-stakes themes of magical corruption, psionic heresy, and survival A blend of mystery, horror, and action tailored to your party’s playstyle Choices that shape the fates of worlds and the flow of the Astral Sea itself.

About me
A veteran gamer and LARPer for over 25 years, I am always open to playing any system that you might be interested in. As a GM/DM I am fair and happy to entertain house rules and adjustments to magic items and the like. The more involved the players are in the creation of the campaign the better, in my opinion. I love hosting games as much as playing them, and look forward to playing with all of you!

Creating your character
We will use Avrae to roll stats using the !rollstats command, which you reroll until you hit a sum of 80+. You can choose any race, even homebrew races, if you wish, but homebrew are subject to approval. You start at level 5 with 1 rare magic item and 2 uncommon magic items, and as many common as you can buy. I will provide a list of Sane Magical Item prices for this purpose. You start with 5d20 X 10 gold pieces total, and your starting equipment for your class. Classes are all open as well, and homebrew are allowed but again, subject to approval by the DM. Otherwise, you just need to come up with a short backstory for the character.
We have an Autognome Savant (homebrew class; think intelligence based face class), and a Gnome artificer/Druid/Wizard. Plenty of possibilities left to explore!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a dndbeyond account, a discord account, and that is about it. I will share a campaign link with you to use to create your character, and I will be using Owlbear Rodeo for the maps, for which I will also give you a link.
What Zatatmando(Lee) brings to the table
I have purchased the newest Spelljammer supplement for D&D 5e, and will share it with you via the campaign link. My GM style is to embrace the Rule of Cool. If there is something that you want to do either in play or with your character, I am happy to figure out how it will work with you if it is appropriate to the story.
Homebrew rules
So each character will be from a different planet that has its own genetic modification to survive on said planet. Come with an idea of a special extra you would like to have, whether it is an extra set of arms, or a specialized digestive system, or something else, and we will homebrew rules for how it works.

How Zatatmando(Lee) creates a safe table
I will use breaks and polls to make sure that we are all on the same page. I will also be using digital X, N, & O cards (as emoji reactions to the post that needs to be adjusted). Lines and Veils will be discussed during session 0.
