Not unless Tasha's includes a feat that lets me spray my enemies with stink... (The ability to become useless after being flipped over is also key.)

Refluff a Spell, and use Magic Initiate

Refluff a Spell, and use Magic Initiate

Yes, that may work. Well done, you mad genius.

(Or maybe I'll just make one. Been a roll lately anyway...)

Ah, dammit. I hope that's not a dealbreaker for a significant portion of veteran Spelljammer fans, if enough of them aren't on board I'm out too.

I love the phlogiston and I’m not bovvered. It’ll be trivial to fix their obvious mistake and put back in.

I'm a "say yes" sort of DM.

I hope enough other veteran Spelljammer fans agree. Not looking forward to another Ravenloft response.

Sure. Some people are going to complain no matter what. Some want an exact reproduction without a single thing changed and others want Spelljammer in name only, with every hint of joy and goofy character removed. All I need is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.

My take is that I can use whatever bits of setting and lore I want from the original or the Moons or 4E or the new one. I‘m just lazy and don’t want to do all the design work myself for the 5E mechanics. Even at full price the new set is a bit less than two meals for two at a restaurant. It’s worth it to have new Spelljammer stuff after so long. I want a new big map of Bral. I want a Spelljammer-themed DM‘s screen. I like shorter, split hardback books. They’re convenient.

Wasn’t that exactly what people said about Spelljammer? That’s why people said it. Because everyone knew it would never happen.

Well we all clamered for Snakes on a Plane because we thought it was funny and they gave that to us.

There will be a grouping of folks who will be mad regardless of the actual content, they'll just tow the same old lines without actually knowing what's in the books.

I thoroughly enjoyed that movie, but I also haven't watched it beyond that one time!

I'm definitely all-in on this and I didn't even play much Spelljammer back in the day. The tweaks to the cosmology to avoid unnecessary complication that 5E strives for is ultimately a minor thing that long-time fans can add back with ease (and the requisite grognard complaints ) and new players, which will be the majority, won't miss. Already told the wife she doesn't need to look for a birthday present anymore!
