Set sail across the Astral Plane in Spelljammer: Adventures in Space

Wizards of the Coast today released Spelljammer: Adventures in Space, the latest campaign for the world’s most popular tabletop role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). A glorious reimagining of the classic setting first introduced for 2nd edition, Adventures in Space builds on the thrill of nautical exploration by sailing through the Astral Plane, home of the stars, gateways to heavens and miniature giant space hamsters! It will feature three hardcover books plus game accessories and is available on Amazon AU or at local gaming retailers.

Voyage across the Astral Sea aboard a spelljammer, a magnificent flying vessel built to traverse interplanetary space. In a realm of endless possibility, Adventures in Space offers a thrilling new setting for both seasoned and new spacefarers. Adventurers can soar across the silver oceans of Wildspace, explore a giant citadel built on an asteroid, and discover mysteries behind the decaying remnants of gods floating in the ether.

Spelljammer: Adventures in Space contains a double-sided poster map of the campaign’s hub city, the Rock of Bral, and a sturdy four-panel Dungeon Master’s screen designed for use with the following set books (with additional alternate-style covers available only through local game stores):

The Astral Adventurer’s Guide

The Astral Sea awaits

A must-have for spacefarers from all corners of the multiverse, The Astral Adventurer’s Guide is a 64-page hardcover book detailing the Astral Plane setting, aimed at players and Dungeons Masters to acquaint themselves with everything they need to run a campaign within the Astral Plane.

Contains: Space-based character races, spells, magic items, spelljammer ship deck plans and more.

Boo’s Astral Menagerie

A cosmic compendium

Exploring a cosmic realm teeming with life will be difficult for adventurers who don’t possess Boo’s Astral Menagerie, a 64-page hardcover book that serves as a detailed bestiary for Dungeon Masters.

Contains: In-game statistics and descriptions for over 60 creatures, including astral elves, lunar and solar dragons, murder comets, space clowns, and more.

Light of Xaryxis

A spacefaring saga

Designed for characters levelled five to eight, Light of Xaryxis is a thrilling multi-episode campaign that will sweep players on a journey through Wildspace and the Astral Sea.

The latest instalment to the Dungeons & Dragons multiverse also introduces six new playable races:

  • Astral elves: distinguishable by the starlight in their eyes, these wanderers have ventured from the Feywilds to call the Astral Plane their home.
  • Autognomes: mechanical gnomes built to survive even the deepest reaches of space.
  • Hadozee: flying simian humanoids known for their love of sailing and knowledge of spelljamming.
  • Giff: these “hippo-folk” come from a world long-forgotten, and have been aimlessly travelling the Wildspace since.
  • Thri-kreen: hunter nomads from the Shaar, these mantis warriors are fierce and agile adversaries.
  • Plasmoids: experience the thrill of playing as a sentient slime for the first time in D&D.
