[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8848668, member: 7006"] The biggest disparity in comments about quality and/or usefulness I have to imagine is going to break along past ownership lines. Anyone who bought/played Spelljammer in the past and owned/owns a lot of previously published stuff will of course feel the new project is severely lacking and thus reviewed as being pretty crap. That should not be a surprise to anyone. The bigger question would be the reviews of those people who have never played or even known about Spelljammer previously, and whether these was enough stuff in here to get their juices flowing and want to start up a campaign? They'd have a more balanced idea of whether this product was actually worthwhile as a standalone. Obviously we will not know any real answer to that... especially not by reading anything here on EN World where most people are older players and/or more involved in the history of the game and its previous editions/material. Where one would go to hear more comments/reviews from people who were completely new to the setting to get a "newbie" opinion on the product... that I have no idea. [/QUOTE]
