Yep, pirate.

And the alternate art for the Spelljammer actual play campaign. It’s popped up a few times. And again, they keep talking about using Spelljammer to add sci-fi to your games not pirates or nautical.

Why not both..?

 

[overgeeked]

That would certainly be change from the 2E era, but I am not opposed to it. I would be pleasantly surprised, in fact, if that were the case. Everything I have seen has suggested more space nautica tho. Do you have a link to the art you are talking about?

Every other character here is flashing laser guns and sci-fi tech. That's official art from an official D&D live play. If they weren't doing sci-fi, they wouldn't allow laser guns in the art. Can't seem to find the laser gun totting space clowns art.

I doubt there will be lazer guns in the equipment lists. I do agree they are showing a sci-fi angle however. Which I like. Still it's different from Starfinder. However I think they'll compliment each other. It's not the first time that there were suspiciously closely styled releases from both companies. Do remember that folks from both companies live close and some purportedly are in each others games too. Or have been.

I can't help but think it'll bump sales of Starfinder products. I for one intend upon looking closer at SF accessories, I think I started a thread on that topic.

Thanks.

Here is the space clown art.

Is anyone watching the Spelljammer live play? Are the characters armed with sci fi gear?

 

[Voadam]

Laser guns are in the 5e core DMG.

Laser guns are in the 5e core DMG.

So?

From the pre 3e era I had the 1e Greyhawk boxed set, the 1e/2e Greyhawk adventures hardcover, the 2e From the Ashes Boxed Set, and the WotC Greyhawk setting softcovers. For FR I had the 2e Forgotten Realms Adventures hardcover. For Dragonlance I had the 1e Hardcover Dragonlance Adventures, for Ravenloft I had the 2e original boxed set and the later hardcover. I also had the 1e Lankhmar setting and the 2e Jakandor setting books. Greyhawk and Ravenloft were what I ran the most.

I had friends with the Spelljammer and Dark Sun setting boxes but did not get them myself in that era, picking up the PDFs and getting a friend's Spelljammer box when he was divesting for a move. I didn't get Planescape until the PDFs came out in the 3e era.

Mystara had lots of regional setting sourcebooks but no core setting book.

I did pick up Dragon Kings during 2e for the 10th level spell stuff. And Dune Trader to check out the merchant stuff mechanics.

So?

I would not find it odd to see them as something you can possibly buy from an expanded equipment list in a 5e spelljammer setting book where they are in a bunch of the art.
