[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 8650999, member: 7023887"] Yeah. I love Spelljammer. I would have been extremely upset if it never got officially updated to D&D 5e. I don't care if it gets changes so long as the setting keeps its core theme (gonzo D&D in space that lets you travel to other settings). I always thought the Phlogiston was pretty boring and didn't actually add much to the setting. The Aperusa have no major part in the setting and were incredibly problematic, so dropping them would be a good idea. What [USER=6747251]@Micah Sweet[/USER] is saying would prevent me from ever getting Spelljammer in D&D 5e. It would probably prevent me from ever running a D&D 5e Spelljammer campaign ever again (due to how much work it took originally to run it). I don't care if some older players are complaining about the Astral Sea replacing the Phlogiston, because the setting is still coming to D&D 5e. The minutia that I don't like I can ignore, and the official updates that I do like are well worth buying the book. Frankly, I don't really care about Dragonlance. I like it even less than I like the Forgotten Realms, and [I]I do not like the Forgotten Realms[/I]. The only reason I might buy the 5e Dragonlance book will be for the new subclass, feats, and monsters. I do not like Kender or Tinker Gnomes, and I despise the Gully Dwarves. If the Gully Dwarves are in this book in their original state, I will not buy it. They are extremely bigoted towards a group that I happen to be a part of and I am not fond of funding ableist crap. If gully dwarves are dropped from the setting or changed (somehow) to not be a problem anymore, I [I]might [/I]buy this book. I don't think that it's "mangling the IP" to fix an extremely problematic part of the setting (like the Vistani or Caliban from Ravenloft or Aperusa from Spelljammer). However, if changing/dropping the Gully Dwarves is "mangling the IP", then, in my opinion, the IP deserved to be "mangled". [/QUOTE]
