About the adventure
Graduation seems like it was yesterday — and that’s because it was. Fresh out of the academy as a newly-minted sailor in the Spelljammer Corps, you’ve been given your first solo gig. Shouldn’t be a problem, right? Especially not with the strange beams of light bursting out of these random seeds that keep falling from the sky— Okay… so, there might be a problem. But you’re more than ready to tackle it! Broken into twelve chapters across four parts, your journey (assuming you’re up for the challenge) will take you to… Lvl 5️⃣: 🌱Seeds of Destruction💥 have descended on Toril and it’s your job to stop them! Or, at the very least, figure out where they came from (and why they hell they’ve chosen Toril to sink their literal teeth into). You’ll sail into Wildspace, visit the Rock of Bral, and hopefully make some allies along the way. Lvl 6️⃣: 😱Terrors of the Void🕳️ threaten you now that you’ve reached the edges of the Wildspace system. You meet a Princess and are given a new system to search for — Doomspace (fingers crossed its name is a coincidence and not a threat). Lvl 7️⃣: 🌪️Chaos in Doomspace🌌 begins when you venture into the void. You didn’t realize it, but your job description had fine print you too-easily missed the first time around. Stuck with mediating factions until you can take a step further, you realize it’d be certain devastation if you dared to try to attack the Empire without reinforcements. Lvl 8️⃣: 🦸Saviors of the Multiverse🪐 is your new title, assuming you survive the encounter with the Prince and the armada under his command. Not too quickly, as you realize the true meaning behind those blasted seeds. Please note, planetary destruction is a major theme of this adventure, and there will be instances of increased horror and gore.

About me
When you love storytelling and have a penchant for chaos, all roads (eventually) lead to TTRPG. I came to tabletop roleplay later in life (2023) but my love for crafting stories and roleplaying online started in 2005. When you're plagued with visions and brainworms aplenty, there's nothing I love more than detailing a scene like I'm storyboarding a movie. Yes, we know where the action is leading us, but how are we getting there? Is it with a comedic flair, or a penchant for angst and dramatics? Those are the details I highlight when setting the scene. Offline, I provide individual and group therapy to children and teens, including a year-round D&D teen night and week-long D&D program in the summer! I have presented at local, national, and international conferences, on my most favorite topic of all: utilizing tabletop gaming to support social skills and emotional flexibility. When I'm not gaming (Sims4, CitiesSkylines), you're likely to find me doomscrolling on tumblr and organizing my 100+ open tabs on AO3. Please note, my games and discord community are firmly AI-free.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters should be ready to go at session start, and made on DnDBeyond.com. Standard Array for ability scores should be used. Most homebrew and source material is welcome; just remember we begin as Level 5 characters who are setting out for a space adventure!
This module is best run with three to six players. If we we have two, an NPC (Tiefling Bard, College of Whispers) will be added as the third. Current Party: Dhampir Bard/Rogue, Plasmoid Fighter/Rogue, Gnome Artificer, Astral Elf Druid, Reborn Artificer
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Discord & DnDBeyond account to play. Both accounts are free to create. My Discord server will be used for audio, and DnDBeyond for VTT. If you create your character within the campaign, you will have access to my source books. You Character's picture on DnDBeyond will be their token during gameplay.
What Erika Kathryn brings to the table
Character sheets, Maps, and Dice Rolling will be ran through DnDBeyond. Discord will be used for audio, including background music to help set the scene. We follow the Rule of Cool here, and make liberal use of in-character dialogue and narration. You can do as much as you are comfortable with, and I welcome the melding of minds if you have a specific vision for how a conversation or action goes down! Creative choices will be honored, 9 times out of 10. If it adds to the narrative, it's likely game!
Homebrew rules
I assume every character comes into session with two potions of healing equipped. Up to two uncommon and up to two common items are welcome. If you’re bringing in a pre-existing character, additional items may be allowed assuming it fits the narrative and backstory. In any case, the party will remain balanced.

How Erika Kathryn creates a safe table
Once you get set up in my discord server, you can message me any specific lines/veils you want to be observed. Similarly, we'll do a brief check in prior to game start to make sure everyone is comfortable with the set up. Breaks are taken about 60-90-minutes into gameplay, and you are more than welcome to step away should you need to outside of that. I appreciate stars and wishes post-gameplay, even in oneshots.
