Well, if the anecdote is correct, he managed to get hit by lightning when on the cross for the production and did not die...so I am glad it worked out for him!

Let's hope they answer! It all seems like people shadowboxing at phantoms (not you, Morrus). I think I must be disconnected from some of the trends that this TSR group does not like and is shadowboxing against. I think Wizards of the Coast has done such a marvelous job shepherding the legacy of...

Hi Paul, If you have time, could you clarify, as I do not understand? The initial Spelljammer box set was about setting D&D in space. The subgenre was space fantasy, which could easily be called space opera. If it wasn't the space fantasy/space opera subgenre, or if Spelljammer failed in some...

Ha, the things you learn. I have been visiting and reading here for 13/14 years. This makes me chuckle. Thanks, Alzrius.

So, I watched/listened to it. Interesting. Actually, their collective point that role-playing games are games, so do what is fun for you and your friends at your table is welcome. I might editorialize that it is a bit obvious and I do not hear anyone from Wizards of the Coast not making anything...

I understand now. You are working under a misconception. The purpose of Spelljammer is to have space adventures in D&D. I bought Spelljammer the day it came out. I read the old Spelljammer comic book (yes there was one), and I have DM-ed using it. It's a blast. The person who explained...

There have been a number of divergent tangents in this thread, all of which I have read. The one to which you refer occurred when a participant first wrote that Spelljammer was obsolete because of Planescape and then revised the statement to be that Spelljammer is "superfluous" because of...

Hi TheSword. I understand that you are not into Spelljammer and that's fine. What, however, makes you say that the multiverse and the notion of portals were introduced with Planescape? I was around at the Gen Con when it was announced that they were going to be releasing Planescape and TSR...

As someone who has DMed a lot of Spelljammer, I would say it is precisely parallel to a nautically-themed game. In fact, I would not be surprised if Ghosts of Saltmarsh is a model for a Spelljammer anthology of adventures (but likely with an additional chapter or two of lore). The ocean is...

My ideal format for Spelljammer would be an adventure anthology that is prefaced by a lengthy introductory section explaining Spelljamming, inter-ship combat, the physics of space travel, the legend of the Spelljammer, and the various competing empires and groups that are encountered in space...

Well said! (y)

I do not know either, my friend. :)

They actually never said that. In fact, in interviews, Jeremy Crawford has been carefully to leave the door open for revisiting the class concept.

There is nothing in the current psionic subclasses that would be mutually exclusive with a psionic-specialty class. In fact, the current subclasses still leave a void for the psionic specialist who trains to refine his or her powers. :)

Thank you for your contribution, Kurotowa, but your response, which quotes my posting, seems to suggest that you did not read my post, which directly refers to Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft and my thoughts about the book viz a viz the 2nd edition version of Ravenloft. If you took from my...

For what it is worth, Jeremy Crawford, in a DragonTalk about the D&D cosmology, specifically identified that the D&D multiverse Material Plane worlds are on the same Material Plane. Therefore, if one has the requisite information, one could teleport (which does not transverse planes) from Krynn...

I agree with this Urriak Uruk. There is, in addition, another possibility. Ray Winninger in the past year has mentioned this oft-speculated on new and innovative format with which the D&D Studio will be experimenting. It could be that if this new format is multi-volume in scope of some kind...

Wow, that would be a real shame. The 5th edition era interviews with designers on DragonTalk from say about 2012 on have evinced a respect for the legacy of D&D worlds, monsters, and lore. To attempt to do Spelljammer but "cut and" replace "the phlogiston and crystal sphere business" would not...

It looks like I was wrong. It will be fascinating to see what this new "evolution of the game"/6th edition of D&D published in 2024 turns out to be. I have expressed here a few times in a few different threads that one of my concerns about the endless changing of the rules of D&D is that it...
