About the adventure
The corpses of dead gods drift through the Astral Plane. Some are still pilgrimage sites for their handful of remaining followers; others are so ancient that none alive remember their names. Though dead, these gods retain portions of their divine power, making them home to precious magical resources and terrible monsters. Though dead, the death of a god is not like that of a mortal, and some dream of living again. The player characters take on the roll of explorers and trouble shooters, flying from god-corpse to god-corpse. Characters start at level 5, and we'll have a free session-zero to create characters and go over table expectations. We'll primarily use D&D 5e 2024 rules, but players a free to use 2014 options that haven't been updated yet. Players of all experience level are welcome! Knowledge of Spelljammer not required!

About me
I have been playing RPGs for more than thirty years. I love big games like D&D and Pathfinder as well as indie and story focused games. I’ve run games in person and online, including home campaigns, one-shots, and convention games. I love gaming and bringing new people into the hobby. I am a professional game designer. I created the all-ages RPG Magical Kitties Save the Day, and have written for major companies like Paizo and Onyx path. I also run a small publishing company called Sneak Attack Press. When not running playing games, I’m a stay-at-home dad and author of science fiction and fantasy with short stories published or forthcoming in Escape Pod and the Common Bonds Volume 2.
