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...

It would explain a lot. I've noticed that a lot of what they've done lately is either reprint existing material, perhaps with minor alterations (Eberron, Ravenloft, this book...) or they publish something someone else has written (Exandria, Theros, Ravnica...).

I prolly shouldn't have mentioned re-entry, though the 2E material did cover the hazards of uncontrolled re-entry (and it did include burning). The original 2E material covered how long taking off and landing would take, and at what point the ship would transition from tactical speed to...

I'm a longtime Spelljammer fan. I've got all of the original material -- boxed sets, adventures, sourcebooks, Monstrous Compendiums, the novels, and every TSR magazine that had something about Spelljammer. In fact, I got it all twice; I lost my original copies and had to replace everything. I...

No Sheila, no sale!

I stumbled across the clean art for the cover: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/0358NG

I actually do buy Dragon, and I have for years -- since like '90 or so. Having said that, I can say I've not been nearly as enthused over the magazine as I used to be. It's getting to be too crunch-heavy. New PrCs, new feats, variant rules for this and that... I want my Ecology articles back...
