[QUOTE="Prince of Happiness, post: 3514400, member: 19819"] I thought Spelljammer was a neat idea, but a toss-off paragraph from 1E's DMG mentioned flying to the moon on the backs of rocs, so my brain's stuck on that. I like the idea that it's not SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE space...it's just the stuff that's really, really far away, floating in the sky that you can see when the sun sinks beneath the sea to journey under the earth. Then you fight pale trolls in the Mountains of Silver on some moon. [i]The Adventures of Baron Munchausen[/i] got my brain going as a young 'un. That and Titus Pullo's conversation with Lucius Voreneus in the first season of [i]Rome[/i], where he mentions that maybe a legionary like himself could get to the Moon by hitching a ride on a giant bird. Legionaries kicking ass on Mars has a strong appeal to me. All this is to say that, yeah, I dig what Spelljammer was getting at, but I'd rather do it my own way. [/QUOTE]
