Re: 3e SJ races...

"The best approach seems to be keeping BtM internally consistent and not
worrying about the outside world."

I have to disagree respectfully. It would be much better to be a repository
of information on all editions, with no heed to any conflicts, and THEN also
provide a coherent home brew version that uses or disregards other stuff
from the site. It would be a much more effective way for people interested
in playing Spelljammer to compare things for themselves.
Also a lot of things can be created that aren't rules dependent at all. If
things are clearly described DMs can then create their own statistics for
them, for example a new weapon idea that just says "can burn through normal
decking wood in a minute" is a weapon that can destroy hard wood in 1 combat
round, and can then be extrapolated from there. 3e is going the way of 2e
only quicker even as we speak so it will soon be one more PAST rules
iteration when the D&D 2003 / 3.1e / 4e comes out. I don't see quite the
same dichotomy between rules edition as some do anyway.

I also think notes like "AC: (3e): 24 (2e): -4" aren't too clumsy. It's a
small effort. I have converted 3,000+ monsters, items etc. in this way and
the more you do the easier it gets - like it gets a LOT easier - and the
rules "differences" don't seem so huge. Maths is maths after all.

Beyond the Moons has a small vociferous following, which is great, and it
certainly beats the AWFUL pastiche of Spelljammer from Dungeon magazine IMO,
but inclusivity is better than exclusivity. There are a lot of other
spelljammer groups and spelljammer-esque groups and they could be brought
closer together rather than letting HASBRO of Borg drive them further apart.
Despite what the Dragonstar producers allege, I have discovered from
personal list visiting and research that a surprising number of people have
bought their first two "core" books purely to update and glom ideas for
relaunches of Spelljammer games, for example.
