Default Re: Spelljammer 5e, are you going to try it?

I have only begun to look into this set. I can tell you now, they need something like A Spelljammer 's Star Atlas and Guide.

Basically, clearer rules on how to travel the Astral Seas, actual rules for generating star systems and their cultures, and some worked examples. The worked examples ought to be some of the other settings past and present.

What they put out is way too rules light.

In the main book detailing the rules of Spelljammer as a setting, pages 26 to 57 are taken up with ship stats. The format is a small amount of text on one page and a picture and deck map on the other.

Thirty-two pages for sixteen ships, and thirty-two pages for everything else.
