Message: <blockquote data-quote="Veltharis ap Rylix" data-source="post: 8575358" data-attributes="member: 66357">I can't speak to Spelljammer, as I'm only passingly familiar with it, but any would-be Planescape book would need cover Sigil and the Factions, and then also serve as a Manual of the Planes for the Great Wheel cosmology, on top of all of the other standard setting book bells and whistles (character options, monsters, etc.). That's more than enough for a standard 5e hardcover on its own.Trying to then cram Spelljammer, which I can only assume has a comparable amount of "necessary" material, into the same book would result in either an enormous, 500+ page tome (not necessarily against it, but I don't see WotC going so far outside their typical page count range when they could simply split it into two books) or in a standard sized one that doesn't have enough room to do either setting justice.I can definitely see some thematic crossover between Spelljammer and some of the denizens of the Astral Plane (Githyanki pirates, etc.), which is probably why the "Astral Sea" was a thing in 4e's World Axis cosmology, and I wouldn't be averse to allowing some transit between the two, by any means.But Planescape proper is rooted in Sigil and the Great Wheel, and while travel via the Astral is one possible route of traversing the planes, it is far from the only one - the Rivers Styx and Oceanus, the World Ash Yggdrasil, the Infinite Staircase, the Gate-Towns of the Outlands, any and every kind of portal, etc. "Spelljammers in the Astral Sea" can be a part of that, but I don't think it should be turned into the primary focus from the Planescape side of things.</blockquote>
