About the adventure
This is a one-shot to explore the Dark Matter supplemental rules from Mage Hand Press. Join the crew and help create the ship you will be running jobs on for a treasure hunt across the 'verse! We will be using lore from the supplement, but the plot is a homebrew. When Belcrath the eccentric aging Dragonborn billionaire passes away, he leaves directions in puzzles and codes to his greatest treasure for anyone to find if they are worthy. This sparks a gold rush across the 'verse as every adventurer worth their salt mounts expeditions to find the treasure of Belcrath Nutholcnush, owner of Interregnum, Inc., the mutli-trade concern that united the disparate planets of the 'verse and created established trade routes.

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
I will provide the rules supplement for reference, and will share my content on dndbeyond in a campaign link. We will make characters to fit the setting together on a discord server that I will give you the link to as well.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Have a Discord and Dndbeyond account. We will use Owlbear Rodeo for our VTT, which we don't need an account to use.
What Zatatmando(Lee) brings to the table
I will provide a playlist for you to play when you are interacting with the game, as well as a plethora of artwork references and maps.
Homebrew rules
Drinking a potion is definitely a bonus action. To learn a skill proficiency you need 6-8 hours of in-game study and instruction by someone with the proficiency before you roll the ability with your proficiency bonus and modifier to reach a threshold number to pick it up. This can only happen once per PC.
