About the adventure
Game Trailer- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0_sbXT4lWI The Odyssey is launching into uncharted Wildspace. As a cadet, the ship will be yours to command. When an anomaly flings the vessel far from known stars and the command crew disappears, survival—and the lives of a thousand of cryo sleeping colonists—falls to you. Stabilize the ship. Defend it from mysterious intruders. Solve the mystery of the missing crew. And make first contact with a theocratic civilization older and more powerful than anything you’ve seen. Courage isn’t enough. Ingenuity, teamwork, determination and hopeful defiance will be your allies. Out of Character Description- This is a heavy Sci-Fi game using the DnD 5e ruleset. Star Trek, Star Wars and Mass Effect all thrown into a blender with the overall theme being Hopeful Defiance. You will be playing the part of 1st year cadets in the Spelljammer Defense Forces. Something goes wrong during the maiden voyage of The Odyssey and it's up to you and your companions to save the day.

About me
I've been a DM/GM for about the last 20+ years. I've played Rifts, Gurps, D&D second edition to 5th. I've ran Pathfinder 1st Ed, Starfinder, DnD from 3.0 to 5. and Star Wars Edge of Empire. First and foremost I am a full fledged geek and nerd and proud of it. I run games with a mix of combat and role-play However if I'm honest I lean towards Roleplay. I like to run high-fantasy epic adventures that players can shape with their actions and decisions. I provide the canvas and your character get to paint it. If you're looking for high-adventure and high fun that's what I aim to provide. I have a low tolerance for any kind of jerk behavior and a very strict D.B.A.D policy.
