Voids, Planes and Spelljamming Helms: An Adventure on the Astral Sea (Beginner Friendly with lots of DND Beyond Content)

About the adventure

Do you fancy some magic and adventure amongst the stars? In a realm far, far away there is a little school that teaches the basics of Astral Travel. Here at Spelljammer Academy adventurers from all over the Realm come to learn how to Spelljam and keep the world safe. This campaign follows the Wizards of the Coast 5E: Spelljammer campaign and is a minimum of 3 sessions long. It will be an opportunity to learn and enjoy the lore of Spelljammers as you help me build my base as a digital DM on StartPlaying. New and veteran players alike are welcome – I look forward to learning together. As a player, I look for games with a focus on world building that allow everyone to immerse themselves in the experience. I’ve built this campaign with that in mind. And if you like your strategy and roleplaying with a healthy dose of tomfoolery, hijinks, and escapism, you’ve found the right DM with years of experience in facilitation and training outside the Astral Sea ;). This campaign will follow three to six new cadets (you) at the acclaimed Spelljammer Academy through their graduation. If the party decides to continue, I am happy to continue hosting the campaign through other Spelljammers material. My hope is to give players a low pressure and engaging introduction to the Spelljammers material while merging my love of SciFi and high fantasy. I hope you’ll join me for combat on both the astral sea and planet-side.
