[Spelljammer/D&D 5e/2014] Life in space

I am running a new Spelljammer game in a backwater system. It will start at 3rd level with a shipwreck. Players will be surviving crew and passengers stuck on an asteroid with a Helm, some scrap wood and whatever they can find of the original ship's cargo and supplies, plus their personal gear, of course, packed in their seabags (or spacebags, or backpack, depending on viewpoint).

Specifics on which collection of asteroids the crash happens on will be determined by the character mix (backgrounds, mainly). The type of crashed ship will also be random, from the encounter table. I'll make those determinations later.

The initial goal will be survival, of course, but you'll have a Helm (at least) and a start towards buying your own ship and working it to make a living. The game will be mostly sandbox, with adventure hooks based on encounters and player activity. And whatever odd inspirations I have, of course.

There isn't a discrete goal or plot to this game, players can do (or try to do) whatever they like, assuming they have the resources.

In reply to tmagann (msg # 6):

Greetings,

 I have been a Grognard for D&D since 1980. But I have never had a chance to rp Spell Jammer. It sounded very interesting, but I was always at the wrong place and time, I guess. I hope you might take pity on a newbie and take me on.


Thank you for your time.

The crew is about to try landing on Jupiter, and could use a 6th creman to fill out all 3 watch shifts.

This is a game of survival in Space, focusing on the pitfalls of flying through Wildspace (and, possibly, at some point, Astral Space), not necessarily high character drama.

The game will also, of course, focus a bit on exploring new destinations. Jupiter, for instance, which is a planet nearly impossible to land on safely.
