It was 3.0 stuff. It was my first Poly (still have the copy) and I found it quite enjoyable. Well thought out without glaring holes (at least to me ;))
It covered races and classes in a spelljamming setting. Gave a sketch view of the Spidermoon system. (Not hughly indepth, but enough that a DM could work with it fairly easily.) New rules, equipment, magic items, and a few prestige classes. It also included rules for spelljammer vessel movement and combat as well as statistics for various ships. And tokens for use in spelljammer combat.
P.S. You won't find crystal spheres, griff's or helms that drain spells in this little gem but I didn't find that a problem because I didn't even play D&D until 2001.
Even if the issue is sold out, at least I know to keep an eye out should I ever come across it.

That actually surprises me somewhat, given the prevalence of negative opinion some of the SJ community have on much of the material printed for Spider Moon.
I mean, while I still enjoy running a Spider Moon one-shot adventure in my campaigns from time to time, I would like to think that there was some aspects of the setting presented that had good points that other SJ fans must admit were okay.

As I have recently learned, SJ was really far more popular than anticipated. Originally, it was supposed to be just a single boxed set, but proved so successful that it launched its own line. (Third hand information from an ex-TSR guy posted on a listserve lately).
I don't think will ever see that kind of popularity with this setting in the future though, unfortunately

Well, that is interesting.

There's quite a few imitations out there, so I wouldn't jump to that conclusion. Off the top of my head, I can name Aether & Flux, Spacebuckle, and SotSM as SJ-ish (although these have a lot in common with Space: 1889, but SJ is more well-known in D&D ciricles). I add to that list with Airships, which although written for "skyships" rather than space-going galleons, has a similar writing style and concept as SJ.

Yeah, it's the only copy of Dungeon/Polyhedron that I ever bought. I didn't like it as much as the original campaign setting, but it did have some information on SJ-type stuff. I've recently purchased a copy of the base SJ box, and I'm thinking of editing it into 3.5 format. I know that this is a minor violation of copyright agreements, but I don't plan to use it outside of the gaming groups I'm in.
If you guys want (and WotC okays it), I might release a copy of it on this message board. SJ is still my favorite campaign setting, due to the sheer possibilities for role-playing and such which it contains. I'm currently working on a 3.5 version of the original Manual of the Planes (where the elemental planes are actually based off of the ethereal, and para- and quasi-elemental planes exist.
Anyways, happy gaming all!

Try sending it to Beyond the Moons. They have official permission to release 3.x conversions, and they can always use new material.

Thanx for the info. I'll do that.
