Copies of Spelljammer are starting to show up. Mike Long of Tribality is in receipt of the books and has tweeted some photos!
It's a membrane of skin it folds up.Are a hadozee’s wings physically attached to their wrists and ankles? If so, that must make it difficult for them to put clothes on.
Based on the "Athasspace" leak and the Dark Sun monsters in the TOC (including a defiler!), I'm 99.9999% sure this was meant to be an updated Dark Sun setting... but at the last minute they decided to make it a Suspiciously Similar Substitute. Based on the responses upthread, that was apparently a wise choice. Maybe they learned some lessons from the Ravenloft reboot after all.Yeah, and if it's not Athas, then that means that the Dark Sun Athas is still out there somewhere else. The 5e DMG mentions Athas by name, so we know Athas exists as that name somewhere. Yet they(probably) put Dark Sun monsters in Doomspace.
This doesn't actually answer what was done for the PHB backgroundsBackgrounds have feats
An Athas that orbits a black hole would be fine with me. An Athas that is accessible from other worlds via spelljammer would take a lot of convincing to get me onboard with. And… well, I’m concerned there would be more changes than just those, were this Athas. Fortunately for me, it seems it isn’t.It might be a reimagination and a continuation of a new meta plot. I am very keen to have a Dark Sun that floats around a black hole, that sounds a lot more interesting then the old red sun to me.
