SpellJammer: Light of Xaryxis Title

James Aaron Oh GMs this amazing cast of characters featuring the return our favorite Giff Paladin, Undar Pomo.  Undar and Yma Sumac, a shifter rogue, make a daring leap onto a ship as crystalline vines erupt from the dirt of Toril.

This happens to be a Spelljamming ship, which escapes the enveloping planet in the nick of time. Here Undar and Yma encounter Captain Elaina Sartell and Bertie Warsong, a Half-Orc Artificer.

It’s not long before the Xaryxian Empire boards the ship in the form of Astral Elf Beiran Ruahir, and a protocol droid named MD-8, both clerics.

It’s here where our adventurers set out to uncover who is behind this planet destroying plot and hopefully, save Toril from ultimate destruction.

James Aaron Oh Headshot James Aaron Oh Dungeon Masters this fast paced campaign, taking a traditional story and compressing the action for maxmium plot.

Matthew Bridges headshot Matthew Bridges plays MD-8, a mediation droid (warforged cleric.)

Matthew Bridges [he/him] is a multi-faceted performer and proud HAPA who has developed creative interests across various mediums. Notable film/tv credits include Agent Garret Hansen on State of Affairs (NBC), Hollywood Stargirl (Disney+), American Horror Story (FX), and Dave on Game Shakers (Nickelodeon). Matthew was most recently seen as Sergio Beltran on The Good Doctor (ABC) and heard in the hit horror podcast It Listens From The Radio.

Thomas Koch Headshot Thomas Koch plays Undar Pomo, a naive Giff Paladin out to do good in the world.

Thomas Koch [he/him] is the Creative Director co-founded Quests & Chaos in 2018 as a way to bring his content creation and live streaming together with his love of tabletop gaming. Thomas runs Radium Pictures, a video production and live event production company in the San Francisco Bay Area.  As a producer and director of photography he creates corporate, commercial, and narrative content for top technology brands.

Thomas as a tabletop player brings a chaotic and sometimes endearing take to the characters he plays, from Undar Pomo, a Giff paladin out to do good in the world, to Sebastian, a cynical sorcerer who’s been ambushed too many times by bandits and brigands and has a “fireball first, ask questions later” mentality. He can be found nearly every week on Quests And Chaos!

Their art has been featured in the Flight Deck Gallery and the Lottie Rose Art Gallery. You can check out their fantasy drama/comedy short film I Broke the Looking Glass on Awesome Theatre’s youtube channel as well as samples of her art on instagram (@ladypujington) or on tumblr (@pujington).

Deck of Inspiration

0

The Deck of Inspiration is a series of three or more card decks designed to enhance the 5e inspiration mechanic.  Instead of giving out simple advantage for great role play, the Deck of Inspiration rewards players with exciting and unique one time use boons.  These come in three varieties; Divine Inspiration, Potion, and Magic Item.

Turn a regular hit into a critical, Bull rush through enemies without provoking attacks of opportunity, or use your reaction to smack a wizard’s hands to interrupt a spell.

 

The deck is designed to be drawn at random when a player does something you want to reward. They role play their character’s weaknesses or bonds, they drop a pun that engulfs the table in laughter, or maybe they brought snacks.

Each deck features 55 cards with no more than two of each card. Some cards “level up” with boosted versions, and even more powerful versions in later decks.
