I find it quite interesting that two different computer game companies seemed to be working very closely together with WotC to make this three-way plotline work.It seems like the Mike Mearls era 5e products, fit into the original 2e Spelljammer setting very well, while the Ray Winninger era products seem to work under the assumption that Spelljammer needs to be rebooted.This kind of leaves us with four competing visions of Spelljammer, all of which are interesting, in their own context:• Original Spelljammer universe• Spelljammer: Shadow of the Spider Moon• Hackjammer• 5e Spelljammer rebootI don't know yet, if anyone is going to be supporting anything other than the 5e reboot on DMs Guild.I don't know if WotC has the right to allow people to update Shadow of the Spider Moon to 5e. I doubt that people are allowed to commercially use Hackjammer IP on DMs Guild.And, if folks decide to use DMs Guild to convert abandoned aspects of the 2e Spelljammer universe (like crystal spheres and phlogiston) to 5e, I can imagine that would cause a lot of confusion for newbie Spelljammer fans.EDIT: The <a href="https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/neverwinter/news/detail/11200553" target="_blank">Announcing Neverwinter: Uprising - August 13!</a> webpage gives you a date for Neverwinter: Uprising, as well as a video showing buildings on the asteroid. (I've got no idea when the original game was published.)</blockquote>
