Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 24250" data-attributes="member: 2012">If you're looking for a conversion for the races from the Spacefarer's Handook then I suggest you check out the Shattered Fractine.<a href="http://www.shatteredfractine.com/" target="_blank">http://www.shatteredfractine.com/</a>That site has the best material for traditional Spelljammer.  Including 3E monster conversions for dracons, giant space hamsters, giff, grommams, the neogi, etc.  Also included are race conversions for aperusa, giff, hurwaeti, hadozee, and rastipedes.But if you're like me and couldn't really get into the whole crystal spheres cosmology of Arcane Space then Dragonstar might be for you.  If you've only 'heard' of Dragonstar and haven't checked it out yet then here's the official Dragonstar site.<a href="http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/dragonstar.html" target="_blank">http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/dragonstar.html</a>Now, don't get me wrong -- I loved spelljamer but I couldn't get my friends interested in playing in a strange fantasy cosmology.  The flow and the crystal shells turned them right off from playing D&D.  Now, with Dragonstar I can have the best of both and anything else I can think of. IMO, there is more than enough room for both Spelljammer and Dragonstar and the two campaign settings are only different when it comes to technology.  Dragonstar might be coined as D&D in space by its creators and the fans but I see it as more like being a D&D space opera setting.  Over at the DSD20 yahoo group, fans talk about incorporating things from sources such as Fading Suns, Star Wars, Outlaw Star, and other science fantasy material.<a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DSD20/" target="_blank">http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DSD20/</a>Personally, I'm working on a Dragonstar campaign that I call Arcanum of the Stars.  This campaign is my attempt to merge the D&D worlds (including Spelljammer) into Dragonstar.  The material is on my Walk the Road RPG campaigns' website.<a href="http://www.geocities.com/rielun/campaignsframe.htm" target="_blank">http://www.geocities.com/rielun/campaignsframe.htm</a>Here you will find details on several Spelljammer races as if they existed in Dragonstar including the arcane, beholders, dracons, giff, as well as others that are still works in progress.  And the campaign will eventually include technological versions of several famous spelljammer ships and a new science fantasy versoin of the Rock of Bral (my favorite reference for Spelljammer).  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Of course, Arcanum of the Stars won't be Spelljammer.  But I'm sure that Spelljammer: SotSM will find its way into Arcanum of the Stars as well.  I can't wait... release it now!!!Um, um, sorry about that.I hope that evryone out there takes a look at my website and finds a use for the material I've posted there.  Whether you are a traditional Spelljammer fanatic or a Dragonstar convert -- I hope there is something there for everyone.Thank you,Robert BlezardEdmonton, AlbertaCanada<a href="mailto:rblezard@telusplanet.net">rblezard@telusplanet.net</a></blockquote>
