I agree with part of what Rian says...However, I don't think that the change
to 3e is inevitable; the way Wizards/Hasbro rushed it out has roughly
alienated some folks, and they're just not going to switch; it doesn't seem
right to leave them out in the cold to me.

Also, just because a setting hasn't been described for SJ yet doesn't mean
it should be banned from officiality. I wasn't privy to TSR's operations at
the time, but I'm pretty sure other settings would have been included
eventually. Athas is an extreme example, but if someone wants to write a new
setting or attempt to convert an official one, I don't see anything wrong in
the attempt. Now, in writing "above the ground" you add things the original
author never intended, so we should get permission from them before stamping
it official (not before writing it, or there's no point), but writing is
alright...

Now...We of the list represent nearly all the Spelljammer community. SJ is
widely considered a joke, a sham, and many other unpleasant things. We are
the members of a dying breed; if a few more sects break off we won't be much
of anything. So let's take responsibility, huh?
