Show Notes

This week, Fiona and Hamilton give their first impressions of the long-awaited 'Spelljammer: Adventures in Space' boxset!

From the 'Spelljammer: Adventures in Space' bio:

'Spelljammer: Adventures in Space presents the Astral Plane as a Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting unlike any other. Home of the stars and gateway to the heavens, the Astral Plane teems with excitement and possibility. With the help of magic, spelljammers can cross the oceans of Wildspace, ply the silvery void known as the Astral Sea, and hop between worlds of the D&D multiverse.

This set contains everything a Dungeon Master needs to run adventures and campaigns set in the starlit realms of Wildspace and the Astral Sea, as well as new options for players who want to create characters at home in this fantastic setting.'

The Spelljammer boxset includes:

  • Astral Adventurer’s Guide - a primer for players and Dungeon Masters that presents the Astral Plane as a campaign setting and includes space-based character options, spells and magic items, deck plans and descriptions for spelljamming ships, and more.
  • Boo’s Astral Menagerie - a bestiary for Dungeon Masters that presents game statistics and descriptions for over 60 creatures found in Wildspace and the Astral Sea, including astral elves, cosmic horrors, lunar and solar dragons, murder comets, and space clowns.
  • Light of Xaryxis - a 64-page adventure module for Dungeon Masters that is set in the Astral Plane and designed for characters of levels 5–8.

Boxset discussed: 'Spelljammer: Adventures in Space', published by Wizards of the Coast, August 2022.

Additional materials:

  • 'Lost Ships (2e)' by Ed Greenwood and published by Wizards of the Coast , April 1990.
  • 'Ships Are People Too! A Guide to More than Naval Combat' by R. J. Quarles.
  • 'Dohwar Playable Race Option' by Serious Wizness.
