[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8306767, member: 6796468"] Thanks! I did that back when I was, like... 12? 13ish? It really set my Dark Sun games apart from the other DMs at the Bookmark who were trying it. One of whom did do the full Murder-Death-Kill player churn while another tried to do it strictly as heroic fantasy with a new world to keep the "Core D&D Feel". Not as many people played in my version, because I was the youngest DM, least experienced, but we had our fun and that's what mattered! Nautiloids do exist outside of Spelljammer. But not just in the Baldur's Gate 3 videogame, either. Spoilers below! [SPOILER="Official Adventure Spoilers"]Dungeon of the Mad Mage also has a crashed Nautiloid in it as an adventure location inside Undermountain.[/SPOILER] This is a big part of why I think Planesjammer would be a better setting than releasing both Planescape and Spelljammer as separate games. Yeah, Spelljammer had a funnier tone, but its ships and "Aerial" combat are the main draw to the setting, both visually and narratively. The goofy fun bouncy stuff is all present, but it's not what lures you into the setting. Besides.
