Spelljammer Spelljammer Confirmed (MAYBE, April Fools?)

[ersatzphil]

The confirmed Reddit leaker (who deleted his 6 year old Reddit account recently, interestingly) months ago detailed that we would see an Adventure compilation, Spelljammer, and Dragonlance products. They didn't mention Spelljammer by name in the UA filled with Spelljammer material, no, but Chris Perkins worked on that UA, and we know that he is working on a Setting book that has Boo the Miniature Giant Spqce Hamster on the cover.

We can have moral certititude that Spelljammer is coming to 5E this year, and this is a very clever metajoke.

I agree with you, but my one point would be that we know we're returning to two classic settings this year, but that doesn't inherently mean campaign setting books. I'm personally hoping if we get a Spelljammer book, it's an adventure - I personally have no idea how to run a Spelljammer game, and would find that way more useful than a setting book.

And we know that there's one classic setting that will only get a cameo. Nothing but the Krynn UA has nailed down which settings those are yet. Spelljammer could still be the cameo with the races presented in a Guide to the Multiverse style book. Or as player options in a multiverse module.

@overgeeked if it’s so bad why even play D&D at all?
Wow.

Same reason as anyone else. Escapist fantasy.

Like a goofy fun April fools joke that hurts no one.

In fairness, Spelljammer and Planescape both kind of lend themselves to cameo appearances.

Except the fans who desperately want to see the return of a favorite setting.

This is a pointless loop. Tschüss.

There are Birthright fans right now* who would weep tears of joy just to have WotC remember to make fun of their setting. It would prove they even remember its existence.



*Both of them.

If anyone wanted to take over the world, the secret is to launch the attack on April 1.

Not only will people not believe it on Liar's Day, but then people will spread TONS of disinformation about the situation as a 'joke'.

In qddition, we have the moderator confirmed leakwr from Reddit, who months ago called Radiant Citadel and Dragonlance in addition to Spelljammer.

I'm down for an Avatar bet over this, actually, if either of you want in.
