Re: 3E?

Sorry I wasn't talking about your ship to ship combat (which seems
basically perfect to me) so I shouldn't have said SJ. I should
have said 3e (or actually explained what I meant).

I -was- referring to the spacejammers Character page (as an example)
http://www.telluri.com/lin/dnd/sj-characters.html
The changes to cantrips, improvements to classes, additional skills from
childhood and the creation of Cross-class skills that
everyone gets (Climb, Craft, Jump, Profession, Spot, Swim), are sort of far away from the published 3e.

I think the conversion will work better (at least in so far as we have
less to go over and it will make RPGA happier) if we don't
touch "core" rules. I'm still working on the characters document and I
think we're going to have to change some of the races in SJ a
bit to get some balance going. I should be done in the next six hours or so.

I don't mean to say you shouldn't publish your rules or change things
for your campaign, of course. Just that it seems like a big
ol' can of worms to open up.

PS At some point (soon?) we may want to start putting up some of this on
the web (just so that we can have a reference everyone can
see with everything we've done/suggested up to now). I have access to a
low traffic website in the states or one of the established
folks could volunteer a section of their site....
