The party made its way out of Realmspace and set sail through the Astral Sea, heading straight for Xaryxispace and the Imperial Citadel. The party saw much to take interest in as they moved through the astral sea–dead gods, odd structures, strange lights–things to return to after they completed their mission. As they neared Xaryxispace,…

Spelljammer 2022 – Interlude (Session 12b)
After rescuing Princess Xedalli, the party reasoned that they should just slip through the Xaryxian blockade rather than go to open war. Having a stolen star moth and a crew heavy with astral elves, including the believed-dead princess herself, they reasoned they could get to the Xaryxian homeworld without combat. What follows replaces the bulk…

The party walked outside of Topolah’s Tower and began discussing how they would hunt the void scavver Big Momma. While they were trying to figure out their best plan of attack, they heard the screams of an autognome in duress on the other side of the tower. Topolah came out to check on Orwyck 3…

The party arrived at Commander Krux’ ship, the Second Wind. Krux clearly takes a great deal of pride in his ship, but the party was unimpressed by the state of it. He justified its excellence by pointing to Starbough, the treant that gives the living ship its life. Upon arrival, a tiefling met Krux and…
5e Rules for Crafting Potions (WIP)
Necessity is the driver of invention. With two herbalism-inclined characters in our Spelljammer game, they wanted to put that to use with creating their own potions. Special thanks to David (who plays Charlie in the campaign) for all his legwork in driving the development of these rules. Together, we came up with what follows. There’s…
5e Rules for Stomping Damage (WIP)
In our Spelljammer campaign, my players have learned the joys of casting Enlarge on the ranger/paladin. Thinking through his significant increase in size and weight, he decided he should be able to jump on a prone enemy and do significant damage. I had to improvise a roll on the spot for it that time, but…

After a couple of days of shopping and exploring the Rock of Bral, the party met back up at the low city’s Happy Beholder. Charlie spent a good amount of time at the Mages’ guild with an introduction from Idakath. There, she worked with the local mages to buy components and craft a number of…

As the party set out to leave the derelict nautiloid and continue their voyage to the Rock of Bral, a nightspider appeared from behind an asteroid. Clearly, the nautiloid was left as a trap. The nightspider moved in as quickly as it could against the party’s star moth, but Charlie kept the faster ship at…

The party was pulled from high speed when it came upon an asteroid field, the outer portion of the belt where the Rock of Bral hides away. Starting to work their way through the asteroids, the horror-filled exclamation of Captain Sartell stopped them in their tracks. “Mind flayers,” she gasped, spotting a nautiloid ship ahead…

Disaster has destroyed Spelljammer Academy! A sudden explosion of iridescent vines bursts from the surface of Toril, causing earthquakes and destroying anything in their way. These vines were 50 feet in diameter at the base, seemed to be growing out of Toril’s core, and grew a thousand feet or more out above the surface. Along…
