Spelljammer Space Clowns Are A Thing In Spelljammer

WotC's Chris Perkins discusses Spelljammer's space clowns in a new video.

Pretty sure Clownspace will be a paragraph in the space Clown entry at most.

I sure hope so

And I very much doubt Neogi - who are generally slavers (with Umber Hulk bodyguards) are likely to be player races any time soon.

its a pity, I for one would rather explore abberant spider-eel slave traders than fiendish space clowns abducting children.

Why not both?

I agree. There's a lot a 5e Spelljammer setting could offer. I hope there's more to it than the abstract craziness they've showed so far.

I'm reminded of how people here say "well you never bought the book, the adventure is x, y, z unlike the marketing."

I likely pass on this, as I have several of the most recent books, because if I'm not the target marketing audience, I'm not going to buy it to find out.

That said, the premise of all of this is so bizarre, it probably needs to be leaned into with a smile.

I assume enough information on the product will be available after release for me to make an informed decision.

Ronald McDonald as BBEG?

His villain monologue before the final battle would be weird.

Juggalo class confirmed!

Not often I see "Juggalo" and "class" in the same sentence.

Space Clowns won’t be anymore playable than the Neogi.

I went to Circus World when I was a child. I feel like I'm impervious to Clown Fear(tm) because of that.

That being said, I do keep my associates at the Halloween store from dressing like clowns because some people have legitimate phobias!

At least you can go buy some 40k harlequins if you need minis.
