"excessively or affectedly quaint, pretty, or sentimental."

So like people in sweater vests and bowties holding a bundle of flowers while petting a puppy.

If you look closely, that's the entire passenger roster of the flying golden train.

The attached cars (moving from one to the next) are important to the adventure. Of course you can that other ways with magic

Yeah, I think they came up with the structure first and figured out how to put it in the game second. And I get it, train cars as a structure are fun.

Sounds like that train level in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

I'm curious as to how it will handle Celestial Archons given the fact thata type of Lawful Celestial Archons already exist in the MOoT and GMGtR. I doubt the existing Archons will get mentioned, but I'd at least have a small side bar for them with suggestions.

One Planescape creature type I hope isn't in is Hordlings, they are native in the NE plane, but are clearly CE and boring.

I'll wait a few reviews, Spelljammer was kind of a letdown to say the least.

affectedly or excessively dainty, delicate, cute, or quaint… See the full definition

And I'm not opposed to twee across the board. I love me some Zooey Deschanel, for instance.

I don't find the train to twee, just fantastical with Harry Potter/Steam Punk vibes.

Incidentally, that adventure also teased "Time Dragons"

Mind if I ask how so? I haven't read that one

Twee is about opinions. It's not something one can measure. (But if one could, it would be measured in units called "zooeys.")

The Outlands are becoming interesting to me because the closer you get to Sigil, the less magic works and the more neutral-bargaining-ground they become. The further you get from Sigil, the more magic works, and the weirder things become as they bleed into the outer planes.

I also REALLY want to play with an idea of the Outlands as liminal space, a la the Backrooms.

This is a place that overlaps with the Material Plane / Wildspace AND the Astral Sea as the space between Outer Planes, and yet it is functionally VERY different from those spaces. It's a great compare and contrast with both the Radiant Citadel within the Deep Ethereal and Spelljammer's exploration of Wildspace and the Astral Sea.

Has TSR or WotC ever detailed what these meeting spaces might look like? I picture ancient Greek amphitheaters, fallen into semi-ruin, with every possible ambush point and place of tactical advantage removed over the centuries.
