I think this is perhaps overstating things a little bit.Mike Mearls was to DnD/WotC what Steve Jobs was to Mac/Apple. A visionary. One in his generation.

TBH, I have trouble taking your comment seriously after this.(and anyone who cares about honesty)
What in the world are you talking about? It's even called Spelljammer: Adventures in Space. According to WotC, it "presents the Astral Plane as a Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting unlike any other. Home of the stars and gateway to the heavens, the Astral Plane teems with excitement and possibility. With the help of magic, spelljammers can cross the oceans of Wildspace, ply the silvery void known as the Astral Sea, and hop between worlds of the D&D multiverse."They literally took a setting whose whole schtick and original tagline was "AD&D Adventures in Space" and ditched the "in Space" part.
It sounds like it was written by Ben Riggs.I think this is perhaps overstating things a little bit.![]()

What part of that suggests that it has nothing to do with space?
No of course not. I am hardly going to give WotC money for doing something I disapprove of, am I? Nonetheless I know what is in it.Did you even read the book?
You do not get to tell anyone else what they are allowed to find meaningful.You folks are quibbling over terms as if they were the meaningful bit.
Yes, whatever could I possibly be talking about. Oh look, it's right there in almost your very next sentence (bolding mine, italics yours):What in the world are you talking about?

I'm fine with anyone who wants to (of any age) playing this. I am also fine with anyone who wants to (of any age) playing Spelljammer as published in the 90s. I just do not understand why they needed to use the name of the latter for the former. But by all means, impugn my character because I do not happen to like WotC's latest shiny!It seems like they don’t like young people playing on their grass.
Believing a vegan diet would cure his cancer? There are good reasons to adopt or maintain a vegan diet; that generally isn't one of them. (Full disclosure: I used to be vegan, and I also used to work for Steve Jobs. Coincidence?)What would Jobs "shouting hands back on" equivalent be?![]()
I think you’ve shown you do not.No of course not. I am hardly going to give WotC money for doing something I disapprove of, am I? Nonetheless I know what is in it.
Is @Fifth Element's quote (an literally everything else written online about it that I have read) inaccurate? No? Then can we be done with the latest round of "glass gets villified for not towing WotC party line" now please?I think you’ve shown you do not.

Clipping the sentence in order to remove additional context is very poor form. You left out the references to stars, the heavens, Widspace, a silvery void, hopping between worlds. Sounds pretty darn space-y to me.Yes, whatever could I possibly be talking about. Oh look, it's right there in almost your very next sentence (bolding mine, italics yours):
No, the only inaccurate bit I see in this thread is your claim that because they refer to the Astral Plane, it means it has nothing to do with space, despite all of the other things they also refer to which make it very clear it is to do with space.inaccurate? No?
Nor from spells, which only restore hit points.Flashbacks from the edition wars! ("Just don't narrate it as losing a hand! Hands don't grow back from rest either, you know!")
I had the distinct impression from somewhere that in 5e, outer space and the Astral Plane are one and the same.No, the only inaccurate bit I see in this thread is your claim that because they refer to the Astral Plane, it means it has nothing to do with space, despite all of the other things they also refer to which make it very clear it is to do with space.

Maybe from 4e, which called it the "Astral Sea"?I had the distinct impression from somewhere that in 5e, outer space and the Astral Plane are one and the same.
They are not. Wildspace is outer space. For instance you age there and need to eat and can die of dehydration.I had the distinct impression from somewhere that in 5e, outer space and the Astral Plane are one and the same.
