Spelljammer: Adventures in Space–Three-book D&D Beyond sourcebook available for pre-order

Last week Wizards of the Coast hosted its first D&D Direct, a jam-packed show revealing everything coming to Dungeons & Dragons, from new books to video games and more.  First off, the long-awaited tie-in movie, Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, will hit theaters March 3, 2023.  The next big news is Spelljammer: Adventures in Space is coming.  It’s a collection of books that allow Dungeon Masters and players to explore Wildspace and the Astral Sea.  Combining themes of nautical exploration with deep space, Spelljammer brings the wonder of science fiction to 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons.  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.

The set, available for pre-order now here at Amazon, contains everything a Dungeon Master needs to run adventures, as well as new options for players who want to create characters in this setting including:

  • New space backgrounds and races for player characters to use in the D&D Beyond character builder
  • New spells and magic items for your party
  • 60+ new creatures including astral elves, cosmic horrors, lunar and solar dragons, murder comets, and space clowns to use in encounters
  • Rules for running D&D campaigns set in Wildspace and the Astral Sea
  • Deck plans and descriptions for spelljamming ships
  • The Rock of Bral, an asteroid-city that can serve as both an adventure location and a campaign hub
  • A space-faring adventure for characters levels 5–8

This 3-book set includes:

  • The Astral Adventurer’s Guide: Welcome to the Astral Plane—the starlit realm that surrounds the worlds of the D&D multiverse.  Hop aboard a spelljamming ship and set a course for adventure.  In Wildspace, everyone can hear you scream.  This book is for players and Dungeon Masters that presents the Astral Plane as a campaign setting
  • Boo’s Astral Menagerie: The Astral Plane holds more than the promise of adventure among the stars.  It is also home to some of the most fantastic creatures in the D&D multiverse.  Boo, the space hamster whose adventures with Minsc the Ranger are legendary, presents this compact collection of cosmic creatures to populate your Spelljammer adventures.
  • Light of Xaryxis: An adventure for Dungeon Masters set in the Astral Plane.  When a cosmic enemy threatens to destroy their world, brave heroes must do everything in their power to save it.  This quest will take them across the teeming oceans of Wildspace to the silvery void of the Astral Sea and beyond.  Along the way, they’ll make friends, encounter terrifying foes, and face one cliffhanger after another.  Can they save their world before time runs out?

Look for Spelljammer: Adventures in Space arriving August 16, 2022.  It’s available for pre-order now here at Amazon.
