I'm hoping that all the recent attention on the cartoon means they'll re-release it on DVD/Blu-Ray. I bought the original release, but I'll be dipped if I can find it now. I strongly suspect I lent it to someone and never got it back.

I think we're going to be seeing something more, related to the D&D cartoon. They put them on the cover of the Stormwreck Isle set, they're doing figures of them -- AND the kids are in the new D&D movie.

Thank you for pointing that out. I didn't notice that at all. :oops: I am indeed in the US -- Florida -- and the price is $25 USD.

Hmm. I want that Sheila figure, but I'm not sure I want it for $35. My Joy Toy Ultramarine figure was a similar price, and it looks orders of magnitude better than this one does.

As I've said before, I've long been a fan of Spelljammer, since the 2E set came out... But I've always felt that one of the failings of Spelljammer was that there didn't seem to be much consideration for the impact of spelljamming on groundling nations. You'd be able to create accurate...

As am I. I never said I was upset on someone else's behalf.

True, TSR quality was sometimes spotty -- but I still think that even the most questionable TSR product is still comparable with some of the best WotC 5E material. And I know that the original SJ stuff is available for download. I've already got most of it in pdf, and all of it in print. That...

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the merit in the approach of "hey, here's the most basic framework, now go look elsewhere for third-party, unofficial content of sometimes questionable quality."

The fact that those companies are as successful as they are proves the demographic exists. Just because WotC has chosen not to cater to it (which, by sheer coincidence, I'm sure, means less work for them), doesn't mean the demographic isn't there. This thing of barebones support (if that much)...

I wasn't speaking of being about to run two same setting campaigns in a row. I was speaking of being able to run a single campaign OTHER than the one that WotC decided I'm going to run. In regards to Spelljammer, what if my PCs decide to go in a different direction, before finding out Doomspace...

I'm not saying that I believe that, I'm saying I believe that's what WotC believes and is targeting. I've been ignoring all the tropes about "kids today" since I was a kid, and moreso since becoming a parent.

I didn't know it was a movie reference until I looked for it -- but still, evil space clowns with ray guns? Even not knowing that was a movie reference, it was still so far out there that it drew attention to itself. As for the target demographic, I'm honestly not sure. It seems to be that they...

I was a huge fan of the original Spelljammer, despite its flaws (and I'll admit, there were a fair number of them). I got this set for $40 from Amazon. I spent way too much, for what I got. The rules were sparse and created new issues, and there's barely a framework in place for doing...

I'm not feeling it for the Beholder and Owlbear Dicelings, but the dragons.... WANT!!!

I do the same, though I've gotten much more selective than I used to be. I look at but rarely buy Transformers and Star Wars figures, and I've gotten way, way too many Lego minifigs. (I actually made a point of getting an extra Mace Windu minifig, and an extra Nick Fury minifig, so I could swap...

Still holding out for the Sheila figure... I wish they could put the cartoon back out on DVD. I had the original set, with the book, but it's disappeared. I fear I lent it to someone who never returned it, but I don't know.

What makes those speeds ridiculous is that they are hard-coded and that's it. Most spelljamming ships in 2E did not move at SR1 because they had more skilled casters on the helm. Maybe they weren't all moving at SR10, but they weren't forever limited to the slowest possible speed. You're...

Those numbers are utterly ridiculous. A flying ship that goes slower than a human can run? A magically-propelled ship that is only slightly faster than a wind-powered one? Spelljamming ships can now fall faster than they can fly. They removed one potential issue with flying ships by making them...

Page three of the Lorebook of the Void, in the original set: "But if space functions normally, how (for example) do the constellations of Krynn move around without messing up other planets?" The Krynnspace supplement is not a good example of anything, other than a bad product. It had gods using...

The purpose of crystal spheres was explained in the first boxed set. They needed a way to accommodate Krynn's having constellations disappear and reappear, without it impacting other systems. I never thought of the phlogiston as being there to impact casters or cannons. The latter weren't that...
