Spelljammer Spelljammer TV show planned back in 2002?

Just saw this in the Piazza. It sounds familiar though. Like someone already posted it here. I searched for it and couldn’t find it so here is a new post.

WotC were planning a Spelljammer TV show/movie in 2002 - The Piazza

Interesting. More fuel for Spelljammer/Planejammer being the next setting.

From 2002?

That's not long after shows like Farscape, Sliders, Stargate, Deep Space Nine, and Lexx were really popular in nerd culture. I can absolutely see why they might consider a ship / multiple planet / dimension show.

Shame they never went for it. We got Kindred: the Embraced at least!

Ha! I thought at first that was just a typo and was meant to be 2022.

That’s fair. I tipped it after all

Spelljammer confirmed! Twenty years ago...
Spelljammer would work very well as an animated series a la Pirates of Darkwater or The Dragon Prince.

Spelljammer probably getting kicked up the ladder in terms of being redone.

There's nothing to problematic in it relative to modern sensibilities (cf Darksun) and theres not much deep law to it and it's fairly obscure.

Wasn't Lexx the StarJammer show?
