Add 10 cultures to your D&D Spelljammer game, including psionic penguins with VOYAGER & VENTURER

The recent launch of Spelljammer for Dungeons & Dragons has truly created another amazing creative perk for gamers and DMs via unofficial supplements. A recent one that I’m really enjoying previewing is the recent one Travelers and adventurers: 10 cultures for your Spelljammer game.

This was created by a great team and includes all the information needed for these cultures. If you are a gamer, you can use one of these cultures for your new character or if you are a DM, you can use these cultures to enrich a new world or the NPCs your players encounter. Oh, and did I mention one of them is a psionic penguin !? I was sold when I saw it!

What makes Spelljammer so special are the myriads of amazing people who populate Wildspace and their otherworldly cultures. After all, strange alien life is what inspires us to look to the stars. And many of us don’t just want to meet these people – we want to tell their stories! If you feel the same: this book is for you. We’ve developed ten cultures that allow you to get really weird in Wildspace, from old favorites like xixchil body-mod surgeons to completely new additions like the plantoid sylvark who worship their ancestor trees.

Here is a brief breakdown of the 10 cultures you will find inside Travelers and adventurers:

• Dohwar. The psionic space penguins who are both pesky and rampant capitalists – these two things could be linked.

• Grommam. Highly competitive monkeys fighting for divinity.

• Hurwaet. Heirs of an ancient fallen empire who follow the song carved in their hearts to recover lost glory.

• Xixchil. Mantis-like surgeons and craftsmen to whom the acts of body creation and modification are sacred.

• Giff Anarchists. Rebels against the militarist hierarchy of mainstream gif culture and lovers of artistic explosions.

• Githwyn. A new gith faction fighting for the reunification of the gith through peace with mind flayers.

• Lizard. The Szelle-Dracaena adore the suns and can procreate by parthenogenetic self-cloning.

• Sepiidae Illithids. Empathic mind flayers who are free from the influence of older brains.

• Sylvark. A race of mobile plants that go through three stages of life and cultivate charmers from their ancestral trees.

• Vindexi. Anthills who have destroyed their home world due to over-exploitation and are now fighting to prevent the same from happening on other worlds.
