Oct 30, 2005 18:08:27 Has anyone ever done up Spelljammer as a totally self-contained cosmology, with no references to Oerth, Krynn, Athas, and all the rest, yet still with all the core elements of the setting?

--I think it would be a neat way to officially reserrect the setting, should someone liscence it NB

Well, the Shadow of the Spider Moon module comes close to it, but it doesn't retain all the core elements of the setting.

I have, but I don't have a complete "setting guide" yet. No where near done. Takes a lot of work to come up with a completely new setting that's both interesting and original

Oct 31, 2005 14:17:56 no kidding! I'm working on that very thing however. If you're looking to create an entirely new sphere the lorebook of the void has some stuff for randomly generating the planets in a sphere. Might serve as a good jumping off point.

Oct 31, 2005 14:28:28 Oh certainly! But I'm pretty well past the point of using the random charts; I may use them on occasion, but I prefer to write up stuff to mesh well together rather than let random dice do the work

Oct 31, 2005 14:31:26 yeah, but those charts make for some really hilarious spheres: case in point i rolled one up and ended up with a planet that was a giant cube of air with asteroids floating around it.
