Starfall: From Dungeon World to Space Adventure! [Play-by-Post]

About the adventure

Imagine starting in a classic D&D fantasy world—taverns, dungeons, dragons—when a blazing star tears the sky open and crashes like a fallen god. Inside the wreck, you find dying “sky‑sailors,” strange magic‑tech, and a desperate mission: carry a dangerous relic to a distant, god‑touched gate somewhere among the stars. You don’t need to know anything about Dark Matter to play! Discover the wider universe for the first time, alongside your character. This campaign is an introduction to the Dark Matter setting: a galaxy where spellcasters share bars with blaster‑slingers, starships jump through the magical Void, and ancient space‑stations are built on the bones of colossal void‑beasts. I run games in a collaborative, character‑driven style with a strong focus on story, cinematic moments, and making sure every player gets spotlight time. Rules are by‑the‑book 5e with room for rule‑of‑cool when it makes the scene unforgettable. This game is great for curious players who like exploration, mysteries, and roleplay, and who are excited by the idea of “D&D in space” but don’t want to wade through a ton of new lore before they can have fun. Tone‑wise, expect pulpy adventure with serious stakes: heroism, weird wonders, and humor, all wrapped in a story about what your characters will do when they realize their small world is just one speck in a vast, strange galaxy.
