Spelljammer A Look At The Upcoming Spelljammer Boxed Set

Preview images of the upcoming Spelljammer boxed set have been appearing on sites across the web, so I've gathered some of them together here. These also include the hobby store 'special edition' with Hydro74 art.

Is that map on card stock?

Is that map on card stock?

Thats was my first thought too. The prominence of the seams would suggest so.

 

[Ath-kethin]

Even with the planejammer cop-out, I'm super excited for this one!

 

[Tonguez]

Thats a whole lot of whales

So am I getting this right? Theoretically you could travel from Toril to the Nine Hells via a Spelljammer ship?

Theoretically, yes, in a roundabout way, but unless I'm no longer up on my Planar geography, or just wrong, doesn't the Astral Plane only touch the Outlands? Its been a long time since I thought about such things.

I think the Hydro art is getting more and more "Kiddie". I do like the regular art.
I also like the art on the DM screen of the "regular" box more. But both are mine opinion.

The Astral plane used to have colour pools which led to all the outer planes. As far as I know this is still a thing in 5e

In AD&D the Astral Plane connects to the Material Plane and all Outer Planes. In the 5e DMG, color pools are mentioned as a mean of egress from the Astral and they can lead to the Material Plane, the Ethereal and all the Outer Planes.
