Otto's Spelljammer Game - Intro

Welcome to Otto's Spelljammer Game.  This is meant to be a casual 5e D&D game that takes place weekly on Monday nights from 7pm-9:30pm EST.  It is meant to be "drop in/ drop out" style, where folks can join on nights that they can.  If you miss a game, you get half xp for that game to keep you generally in the range of everyone else.     Players can bring their own established character (or start a new one if they prefer) - any character level 8-12 is fine.  This is meant to be a higher level campaign.  As you have been picked up from your own world, it is a chance to use a beloved character from a retired game or one that is on hiatus.     You start on the ship of Captain Tillian Dawnseer, a gnome wizard, who also drives the ship through the use of his spelljammer (a helm that channels magical energy into powering the ship).  The adventure will begin in the city of Bral, located in the Rings of Glyth, which is in the crystal sphere of realmspace (the Forgotten Realms Setting).     Adventures will be broken into discrete "in game" time frames, with downtime in between adventures.  Everyone is welcome to participate in downtime activities, even if you rarely are able to make a Monday night game.  If you want to see generally how I run downtime/in between adventures - feel free to look at the Madness Campaign, which was my previous Monday night campaign.     The Council of Captains will contain the things happening, similar to Town Crier from the Madness Campaign.  It is here that new adventure seeds and such will be sown.  In addition, the "out of game" things, like this introduction will be posted in that category.   I look forward to gaming with you.  Please feel free to ask any questions.   -Otto
