Copies of Spelljammer are starting to show up. Mike Long of Tribality is in receipt of the books and has tweeted some photos!
I like the chwinga. I especially like that they are the Elemental creature type but native to the material plane.Chwinga first expanded from Chult to Icewind Dale and now they can be found in wildspace as well!

Now you know how Minscs companions felt. Nostalgia!But that's the thing! Boo wasn't even from Spelljammer, Boo's from Baldur's Gate! So it makes no sense for Boo to be the cover piece of a Spelljammer book! Aaargh!

They fit a niche of "tiny capricious nature spirits" that really hadn't really been filled before. Sure, we have our sprites and faeries, but they aren't direct personifications of the local natural world like the chwingas are...I like them too!
And they like tea. Can't be all bad.They fit a niche of "tiny capricious nature spirits" that really hadn't really been filled before. Sure, we have our sprites and faeries, but they aren't direct personifications of the local natural world like the chwingas are...
Maybe it more complicated than that?Some thoughts.
Spelljammer has lunar and solar dragons. We just had Fizbans. Are these new dragons one of the Metallic, Gem, or Chromatic family of dragons? Or is there a new "Planetary" family of dragons?
If one of the primordial three families, presumably the 5e lunar equates the 2e moon dragon which is always Evil, thus a kind of Chromatic dragon. The 5e solar equates the 2e sun dragon which is usually Good, thus a kind of Metallic dragon.
And they're cute and pretty harmless really. (And can give you a magical charm if you befriend them!)And they like tea. Can't be all bad.
Maybe. Still the namechanges, sun→solar and moon→lunar, might signal other adaptations for 5e.Maybe it more complicated than that?
