Pirates, asteroids, and all sorts of deadly creatures await adventurers that venture into the cosmos. Spelljammer Academy is a series of four adventures that prepare characters for Wildspace and take them from levels 1-5. Once they've completed their academy training, they'll be ready for Light of Xaryxis, the adventure included in Spelljammer: Adventures in Space.
What Is Spelljammer Academy?
Located on a remote island many miles from shore, Spelljammer Academy is the premier training ground for adventurers looking to venture into Wildspace. This state-of-the-art facility hosts everything aspiring spacefarers need to prepare for adventures beyond their planet.
Cadets will train alongside seasoned spelljamming instructors as they learn the ins and outs of surviving the perils of Wildspace and the Astral Sea. Those that have what it takes will join the prestigious ranks of the Spelljammer Academy's navy.
What You'll Find in These Adventures
On top of taking players from 1st to 5th level, these adventures include:
- Battle maps for combat
- An area map of the Spelljammer Academy
- Profiles on key NPCs
- Spelljamming ship statistics
- All-new artwork
- A map of Wildspace
How to Access Spelljammer Academy
After claiming your copy of Spelljammer Academy, you can find the unlocked adventures in your Sourcebooks collection. To access your collection of sourcebooks, open the Sources menu. Beside "Sourcebooks," select "View All." From there, you'll find the Spelljammer Academy.

Posted Jul 15, 2022I'd also like to know when the second/third/fourth parts come out, just ran it for my group and they all had a good time. I imagine they'll come out each week until official Spelljammer 5e release?

Posted Jul 17, 2022Very nice. I did need to make some additions to the obstacle course, as having a character who could fly trivializes it. So, I split the flyer off and gave them a different set of challenges:
1) Fly through a strong wind: DC 10 Strength Save. Player got advantage by flying up, then angling down and turning it basically into a dive.
2) Fly quickly through three hanging rings at different heights and locations DC 10 athletics/acrobatics (Player got advantage for using mage hand to lift one of the rings to make the height even.
3) Endure an illusory storm: DC 12 Con save
4) Hit the instructor with some sort of attack/spell the instructor was an armored aarakocra and dodging, so disadvantage attack, hit AC 14 (in the end, the player used sleep to actually land an effect)

Posted Jul 18, 2022Hey, sorry, I'm running this campaign today, just to start some people off before I can purchase and read spelljammer, what's damage threshold from the ships in this second part of the unit? Thanks.
Edit: nvm found the rules for damage threshold. It's already in one of the books.

Posted Jul 26, 2022Adventure 3 has the travel times wrong for the inner planets. Why would they be further away than the outer planets in terms of travel time and distance? (The map / handout is correct)

Posted Jul 26, 2022The travel times are based on how far they are from the edge of the system rather than being related to their distance from the sun, which feels a bit backward to me personally. I don’t think they’re incorrect though

Posted Jul 27, 2022I am enjoying the Spelljammer academy but my criticism is that it feels like it's for a younger audience. Maybe because I've played through some of the "darker" adventures but I'm wondering if that is just this mini adventure or if that is a trait of the Spelljammer books to come?

Posted Aug 16, 2022There`s no any connection to Light of Xaryxis, as it was promised.
So there`re lot of lines remain unquestioned. Who is Vocath? What conflict he has with Mirt? What the hell is going on? How does Spelljammer Academy graduation helps characters in LoX?
That`s not a LoX prepare, that`s just unfinished adventure.

Posted Aug 16, 2022It's 8/16 and I'm really disappointed that this is no longer available. I preordered Spelljammer on D&D Beyond and purchased physical copes from my FLGS but with the adventure included starting at level 5 I'm left with a large gap to get them into the provided content. Please allow us to claim it, I'm sure many people would like to pick it up on release day.
