[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 8309085, member: 779"] Spelljammer had some interesting elements like lore on a timeline of ancient races and empires in significance around the material plane, with the Juna (a mysterious trilaterial race), Reigar (a race inspired by Ziggy Stardust) and the Kreen Imperium. And the idea that there's Illithid, Beholder and Neogi empires out there, along with things like the K'r'r'r and a Werewolf Empire known as the Vodoni. Those are elements of Spelljammer that should be kept. There probably would need to be some revision to the Elven Imperial Navy and the so-called Inhuman Wars. A more critical look at least into both the Elven and Goblinoid/Orcish nations going to war. Was it because of Elven imperialism and aggression? Things very specific to certain other established campaign settings should be retconned. Therefore dropping the idea that it's only Tinker Gnomes from Krynn out there (5e Rock Gnomes are sort of Tinker Gnomes anyways), or that Shou Lung from Faerun has a significant presence beyond Torilspace. In fact they should just downplay Greyspace, Torilspace and Krynnspace anyways. Spelljammer needs to stand on it's own without referencing those parts of other campaign settings. The Rock of Bral I remember served as an introduction point to the setting, it needs to be in its own solar system away from all those other systems. [/QUOTE]
