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. You are among the newest batch of recruits that has just arrived after a long, arduous sea voyage, but there’s still much to do! There is no rest for cadets as The Academy! You have volunteered as a cadet at Spelljammer Academy, a shadowy enclave of spellcasters and swords-for-hire situated on the remote and mysterious island of Nimbra far off the coast of the Chultan Peninsula. For whatever reason, you are jumping at the opportunity to possibly leave this planet. Join in on an adventure across the stars, and beyond!

About me
Hey there! I am Professor Kaleidoscope, or PK. I am a 30 year old professional dungeon master, published poet, and aspiring college professor. As I pursue my master’s degree, I love spending my free time creating amazing, immersive dungeons and dragons experiences for others. I have been running games for 15 years, and I possess an abundance of content and experience to share with my players. I aim to create a welcoming environment for all players, whether you’re brand new to the game or a veteran player familiar with multiple editions of the game. (I play 5e) As a professional dungeon master, I spend my own time and money bringing the most enjoyable experience possible to my players, including using the most immersive battle maps on the best virtual tabletop around, Foundry VTT. I offer access to all currently published material for character creation through D&DBeyond, in addition to my time and support as your DM. I look forward to running games for you!
