Fall in cadets! It's time for your introduction to Wildspace! Spelljammer Academy is a series of four adventures that will prepare you for your journeys into space, and it's available to you at no cost with your D&D Beyond account. In the first adventure, you’ll undergo your orientation at the Spelljammer Academy, where you'll learn whether you have what it takes to traverse the deadly expanse of the cosmos.

So is this the first adventures in the upcoming slipcase set?

My understanding is that these are a set of four Spelljammer adventures (though only the first is out at the moment) that serve as a "prequel" of sorts to what we'll get in the slipcase.

So seemingly, no.

 

[Reynard]

Oh, look, still not a PDF, even though that would be the most convenient way to read an adventure.

Ah. Right. Slipcase is for 3rd so these might make nice starters.
I think I can cope with artwork a bit more than Radiant which makes my eyes bleed. Given all the colour why are the maps a rather uninteresting B&W?.
Not moaning too much as it's free!!

 

[Reynard]

To say something positive: great cover.

 

[Shardstone]

Hmmm....

I love anime. And this is very anime. But...its kind of strange.

Spelljammer academy? On a random island near Chult? And people just...go there, fight simulations, get tested, and fly out into the multiverse...its very...

...

Well, I'm sure a lot of people will like it! So good on WotC for producing it.

 

[Echohawk]

Equally annoying, the PDF version of Monstrous Compendium Volume One: Spelljammer Creatures appears to no longer be available from WotC. What was previously a link to a D&D content library on the Wizards website is now just a link to D&D Beyond, where that content is available only in digital format. Boo!

 

[Stormonu]

It's an interesting take, definately off-beat and seems to be influenced by Strixhaven design and reminicant of something one might find in the MMoRPG Pirate101. Not quite my cup of tea, though - though the Academy itself is something I might be inclined to incorporate.

You can download and view Beyond content offline, just like a pdf.

Was just gonna say. Cartoony without being cartoony, and even a good grim look to some of the entities

It's free. Use it or not. I always copy and paste this stuff in case DNDbeyond goes away. Easy to read that way if you want.

It is obvious they are trying to make this the preferred format, to which I say:

"Stop trying to make fetch happen."

Have you ever considered not complaining in every thread about DNDbeyond? Because it isn't changing.

Have you ever considered just scrolling past comments you don't like? You don't have to leap to WotC's defense on this, you know.

Just fascinating people bitching on a free product.

Perfect place for a TARDIS to pop up at.

It is really weird how some people think that being free magically shields a particular thing against the same exact kind of discourse and criticism it would get if it weren't free. Why would "free" mean everyone had to immediately love everything about it? And what if it is only temporarily free? Are we allowed to complain about it after if it sold, even if we still have the "free" version? What if it isn't really "free" because it requires you sell your data and eyeballs for it? Are we allowed to talk about it then?
