Somewhat, yes. I don't think there is a specific mention of
Spelljamming in any Greyhawk product, not even an SJ NPC. Can anyone
correct me on this?

But, with the novels and the comics, plus Astromundi cluster and
gleaning all SJ modules very carefully I think I've found enough to
be useful.:)

The FR Elven references, for example, provide some interesting
comparison information:)

Sure, but why reinvent the wheel? Those worlds all have great
timelines. By providing an 'anchor' so folks can cross reference GMs
can pick those out themselves. :)

Oh, I've got a few. :) But I do consider Bral sort of the heart of
the setting. :)
