[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9262636, member: 22779"] I mean, yeah, seriously. If you want to know anything about Spelljammer lore, it's a Google search away. If you want to run a fairly "canon" SJ game, it's all right there. OTOH, I'd think that SJ is probably one of the least canon required settings. After all, the point of the setting is that you use magic space ships to travel between various settings. Sure, the Rock of Bral, for example, has a ton more material out there in the wild. But, at the end of the day, if you need it, you can certainly find it. See, I think that's the point that the lore bunnies seem to miss. People bounce off of settings when there's a library full of material you need to absorb before you start play. For those of us who've played for years, we want more. But, for those who are just getting into things? I can totally see not wanting hundreds of pages of setting lore. The one thing that 5e has demonstrated quite clearly is that lore isn't actually all that needed. [/QUOTE]
