[QUOTE="Irda Ranger, post: 7426226, member: 1003"] Personally, I noticed the lack of a Giff player race and details about the Illithid Empire in MTOF, and thought to myself "Maybe they're holding those back for Spelljammer?". Then I saw Mearls' tweet and I got unreasonably excited. A Stream of Many Eyes could also be about Spelljamming beholders. Anyway, it's nice to keep the dream alive. I'm liking the ideas here about simplifying Spelljammer, and making the phlogiston the Astral Plane (or Border Astral). That seems consistent with the 5E ethos too. I had developed my own alt-cosmology for Spelljammer, where the Prime Material Plane was "all phlogiston" except where "stellar ruptures" from the Elemental Plane of Fire (aka, stars) had permanently burned it away, leaving a bubble of free space. The ash from burning away that much phlogiston hardened into a crystal sphere. I'll have to think about this Astral Sea business and whether it makes more sense. [/QUOTE]
