[QUOTE="Horacio, post: 14291, member: 82"] Well, IMHO they will be taking away from SJ all the special things that converted it in Spelljammer... Without hippoguys and hamsters, without the crystal spheres, without the myriad of small and incongruent details, SJ would be enother space fantasy game, like, let's say, the wonderful Dragonstar. Don't misunderstand me, I loved and love Spelljammer, and I love Dragonstar and Fading Suns, but I don't think it's a good move to banalize a setting (SJ) stripping it away of its maybe goofy but definitively original elements only because other settings (Fading Suns d20, Dragonstar) are selling well. Let's admit it, SJ will never be a sturdy source of profit for WotC (they are only selling it in Dragon), so why spoil it for its handful of faithful followers? It reminds me the move they did to close Planescape, with the Faction War (let's spoil all the wonderful multiverse we have created!) or the Die Vecna Die (where they did the Lady of Pain speak and even beg help from a bunch of adventurers!!!!!). Please, people at WotC, if you're reading it, don't spoil our beloved setting only because they look weird. You already have Forgotten and Greyhawk (good setting, of course, and most of people love them) as more classic settings... [/QUOTE]
