[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8616579, member: 86653"] That's reaching. That's literally how the Outer Planes are described, as "many sages refer to the Outer Planes as divine planes, spiritual planes, or godly planes, for the Outer Planes are best known as the homes of deities." But, sure, somehow they're not heavens. The marketing uses Astral Plane repeatedly... "[I]Spelljammer: Adventures in Space[/I] presents the [B]Astral Plane[/B] as a Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting unlike any other. Home of the stars and gateway to the heavens, the [B]Astral Plane[/B] teems with excitement and possibility." One of the book's title is [I]The [B]Astral[/B] Adventurer’s Guide[/I] another is [I]Boo’s [B]Astral[/B] Menagerie[/I]...but sure. Maybe they're just kidding about that whole Astral Plane thing. Being on the Astral Plane means you have fairly easy and reliable access to the Outer Planes...at least according to the DMG. But sure, they might change what's in the DMG to suit Spelljammer to prevent it somehow from traveling the same color pools and portals as everyone else...because...reasons. I get that some will simply refuse to believe the marketing and Winninger himself when they all say, "Yep, it's planejammer" but whatever. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what the next argument is after the books are released. [/QUOTE]
