Sail the Astral Sea - Spelljammer [Beginner/LGBTQ+ Safe]

About the adventure

Command Your Own Vessel 🚢 Traverse Amongst the Stars ✨ Discover Worlds Unseen ❔ Plunder Them All 💰 ------------ Watch your spells animate and come to life as you knock a pirate overboard, your ship creaking beneath you as you sail across the stars with backing provided by Syrinscape. Each character comes to life through voice-acting and full person representations and combat is seamlessly played out in an easy-to-use format. FoundryVTT is fully utilized to keep track and calculate the "crunch" which keeps everyone focused on their next move and watching as everyone's personalized dice roll across the screen in those nail-biting moments. So let me lighten the load and bring you closer to your story while you simply focus on coming up with your next space pirate pun or whom you're going to steal from next. ------------ The world below has grown boring and dull but luckily, you've heard rumors of a special ship that's about to depart, a ship that claims to sail amongst the very stars! Out there it's less about where you're from and more about your destination and the journey along the way. Customize your ship, steal a new one, or even try to convince the rest of your crew to let you adopt the local giant space hamsters! Your destiny is finally in your hands, and no one is going to steal it from you, at least, not without a fight!

Additional Details

How to prepare

-A working microphone is necessary -We will be using Discord for voice (a Discord account is necessary) -Getting a basic grasp with D&D 5e rules/FoundryVTT is suggested but not absolutely required (session 0 will assist with this and learning is allowed). FoundryVTT will handle the dice rolling, while DnD Beyond will handle the rules source so you don't need to bring anything extra or worry about having your own supplies. Any ideas for classes your character might be interested in is great (I love building the world alongside my players), or other potentials you'd like to potentially see/be able to interact with can be worked with.

What I provide

There will be access to the D&D Beyond sourcebooks + any relevant adventure books (makes character creation a breeze). Tons of custom tokens/maps/music all backed by the power of FoundryVTT and its many modules (tons of automation so that rules don't bog down the game, even if you're new). For character art I have a large collection of my own, but feel free to bring your own (full body is preferred but not required).

How will character creation work

Character creation will generally happen/be discussed as part of session 0, and with the power of D&D Beyond it is super easy to build a customized or randomized character of any level. I prefer point-buy but am not forbidding rolling for stats, all official content is allowed with homebrew being case-by-case. Feats are allowed and Tasha's alternative rules/options are allowed. We will start at level 1 for these characters. You can create a character before session 0 but please be open to reworking it to mesh with the party dynamics (more rp, less stats/class focused).
