4e cosmology and old settings

[TheWyrd]

What I'm curious about then, is whether you can "spelljam" from the Astral Sea to a prime material world? And what about Crystal Spheres? I guess if you wanted to keep some type of "phlogiston" you could place it in the elemental planes (especially fire).

The 2e name for travelling through the Astral on a boat was 'voidjamming'.

Crystal Sphere will probably be dropped completely. In their place, I rather expect to see outpost towns. Basically imagine that the 'Rock of Braal' is a town floating on a rock in the Astral plane. In the center of town is a teleportation circle that travellers use to transport themselves over to 'the world'. Add to that the idea of 'neighborhoods' where there is a cluster of astral domains in one area and you're effectively mimicing the concept of a crystal sphere without the giant champange bubbles.

Not altogether bad, I can see potential in this approach. Although, I'm pretty sure this will leave some die-hard Spelljammer fans disapointed.
