Spelljammer Spelljammer Confirmed (MAYBE, April Fools?)

[dave2008]

What an awesome way to crap on your fans who are genuinely excited about an IP you hold. “That thing you love. Yep, we’re doing it. April Fools.”

I actually think that this the only way Spelljammer should be announced. If the actual product isn't announced on April 1st, that is a mistake IMO.

Too many "actually the Empire of Man is a fantastic ideal" unironic comments, probably...

Turning off YouTube comments in general is just good practice. Unless you're going to hire professional moderators for your channel there's no reason to sully your brand with the toxic waste that is YouTube commentary.

You seem to be overreacting to an April Fool's joke.

Ah. Got it. Probably a good policy

I find the comment section can help build communities (much like a forum), but it of course needs moderation, and if GW doesn't want to invest in mods... then yeah, probably for the best. Especially knowing that the worst of GW's customers... are the WORST.

Teasing fans of a setting that it’ll finally see re-release after…decades. Yeah, that’s people being crappy. “That thing you love, it’s totally on its way…ha! April Fools.” That’s crappy.

Spelljammer was routinely treated as a joke, even in its own product line. Announcing Spelljammer on 4/1 and then saying "no really, we're confirming Spelljammer..." Seems to be the most Spelljammer thing they could do.

Yeah but, what if it is true?

 

[overgeeked]

No it’s not.
It’s shared fun.

It's not much fun being on the receiving end.

is life really so bad that this comes off as a mean jab? I just don’t see it. Maybe I’m just not angry enough.

Have you looked outside lately? Global pandemic that's now endemic and an active war in Eastern Europe. Sunshine and rainbows, man. Sunshine and rainbows.

Except it is on the way, and we all know that... so no, not at all actually?

Really? They haven't confirmed it. They've teased it for years now. The Krynn UA was dripping with names and lore making it obviously a Dragonlance UA. The "multiverse" UA went out of its way to never mention anything Spelljammer lore related. They included several races that were used in Spelljammer, but also races that weren't, races that were used in Star Frontiers, and races that were new.

April Fool's sucks anyways, everyone's already expecting a prank so any news is already treated with the skepticism and annoyance it deserves

The confirmed Reddit leaker (who deleted his 6 year old Reddit account recently, interestingly) months ago detailed that we would see an Adventure compilation, Spelljammer, and Dragonlance products. They didn't mention Spelljammer by name in the UA filled with Spelljammer material, no, but Chris Perkins worked on that UA, and we know that he is working on a Setting book that has Boo the Miniature Giant Spqce Hamster on the cover.

We can have moral certititude that Spelljammer is coming to 5E this year, and this is a very clever metajoke.

The Multiverse UA has got giff, hadozee, and plasmoids. I get nothing is 100% until confirmed, but also... like come on, that combined with the cover with Boo and a beholder on it, plus THIS TEASE... it's as close as you can get to confirmed without actually confirmed.
