[QUOTE="Shardstone, post: 8307099, member: 6807784"] A Planeswalker setting made up of Planescape and Spelljammer literally writes itself. Like it takes no imagination to see how you can do 1 + 1 to make 2 here. Will it invalidate old lore? Yeah. But 5E doesn't care about invalidating old lore. Like, Van Richten's, hello?? All this talk about Spelljammer being impossible to do, etc, because of its old material strikes me as particularly odd. THis is because old D&D material was pretty naughty word for actually running games with. I attempted with Dark Sun's original box set and there's no narrative thrust beyond the initial setting conceits, and that's what 5E is all about these days (even if it hasn't figured out how to do it all that well yet): [I]narrative thrust.[/I] So, when Spelljammer comes out, which it will, likely fused with Planescape, it will obviously be a product with adventure seeds and compelling things to do that haven't been seen in Spelljammer before. Old ideas reimagined, for example, or entirely new things to do. And these things will have narrative thrust. That's really all it takes to make a 5E book. Pick up the old settings and add narrative thrust to them. Its what 5E has been doing for years now, and what they will continue to do too. [/QUOTE]
