Issue 314 had this preview of Dragon 315:

CAMPAIGN CLASSICS - This special issue returns D&D gamers to their roots. We're presenting an article from nearly every D&D campaign ever produced, from Al-Qadim to Taladas. Each article takes some part of these campaigns settings and presents it updated for D&D 3.5. This issue also features a history of the D&D campaign settings by Stan!

Dragonlance by Jamie Chambers - This article gives you information on playing a draconian character, as well as some feat options for your favorite draconian.

Greyhawk by Erik Mona - Resident Greyhawk guru Erik Mona gives us dozens of regional feats for the Greyhawk setting, usable whether you play in Oerth or not.

Al-Qadim by Dean Poisso - The sha'ir class returns to D&D! Harness the power of magic through your gen with this new 20-level class.

Ravenloft by David Noonan - You fought Strahd in 1st Edition and 2nd Edition, now battle the most legendary vampire in D&D in revised 3rd Edition. Plus, revisit Castle Ravenloft with a brand-new map of Strahd's lair.

Kara-Tur by James Wyatt - This article provides ancestor feats and martial arts styles for the regions of Kara-Tur.

Red Steel by Frank Brunner - Witness the return of cinnabar and red steel, the affected, and tortles.

Plus, Blackmoor, Dark Sun, Planescape, Hollow World, and more!

Hate to be the wet blanket

But the intro does say "almost every" instead of "every"; I wouldn't expect much if they mention SJ at all.

And something else...am I the only one that finds it odd that "back to roots of D&D" involves a lot of the articles that are nothing but feats and the like? I find that...odd. Almost like "we have a bunch of generic articles, lets slap some flavor text on it and call it a theme." Ah well, I'm sure people will enjoy (I don't get Dragon anymore, so either way doesn't affect me much).

They did some Spelljammer stuff a while back. It was in Polyhedron 151.

I found out this weekend that Spelljammer is not in Dragon #315. They wanted to, but couldn't fit it in.

The thing that irks me is that they had material for the Ghostwalker setting, which is a current setting, and it took up space that could have been used for another setting (like SpellJammer?).

Yeah, that really bothered me too.
