Avantris Entertainment, the publishing arm of Legends of Avantris and the makers of The Crooked Moon, has announced a new space opera-themed D&D project that will launch on Kickstarter later this year. Neon Odyssey is described as a “a neon-soaked science fantasy space opera trilogy for D&D 5E,” drawing inspiration from sources like Star Wars and Cowboy Bebop. The Neon Odyssey project includes three books, an Outrunner’s Handbook containing player rules and character-building guides, a Cosmic Codex detailing the Stardust Rhapsody campaign setting, and the Overdrive Expansion that contains optional rules for professions, racing and more. All the “classic” D&D character classes are reimagined in the books under new names and containing mechanical upgrades, with 40 subclasses, 30 species, and 300+ alien monsters and enemy vehicles to battle against.
The Kickstarter for Neon Odyssey will launch in May, with Avantris running weekly Neon Odyssey-focused content on their channels from March to June. Avantris’s last Kickstarter to fund the Crooked Moon, raised over $4MM in 2023.
