Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henadic Theologian" data-source="post: 8848655" data-attributes="member: 7030526">The Spelljammer case has some interesting points of interest, Clownspace, Astral Dominions, Hazdoo homeworld, Rock of Bral, etc..., the problem is none of that is going any depth at all, a brief mention, say a paragraph or two at most and then forgotten. Why is a Nerath Astral Dominion near Realmspace all of a sudden? I mean their map of the Wildspace, Dead Gods, and Astral Dominions near Toril don't even get named, except Doomspace. No explanation for how established material plane settings interact with Spelljammer. The Spelljamming mechanics don't even work properly, there are youtubers who can explain this far better then I. There should have been a fouth book, Wildspace & Astral Dominions exploring those sorts of locations. Some of the coolest Spelljamming Monsters got dumped online for free because they ran out space because they blew the price budget of the product on aesthetics and a fancy slipcase, no room for more actual, useful content. The product is all sizzle and no steak, all style and no substance.  Making it a slipcase, which is supposed to be reserved for collectors at a later point or as gift sets of multiple products, not breaking one product into parts to make it look impressive while causing the price to explode, squeezing out actual content to keep the price from Ballooning farther. I suspect the Slipcase disaster and the upcoming one in Planescape, is why Ray Winninger is no longer working for WotC (either he was responsible for this bad idea and got fired or he objected to thid disaster of a product and left in protest). I don't object to the setting changes, I get their purpose, I object to the lack of depth, details, and the type of product it was turned into instead of a 320+ page book it should have been.</blockquote>
