I subscribed to this list because I am thinking about running a campaign set

original? or both?

Welcome.

The list is fairly wide open to all things Spelljammer.  That's true.
The list is also composed of a number of highly opinionated and highly vocal
people, from d20 enthusiasts to AD&D die hards, and a few people who use the
setting with other systems.
Most members of the list have some portion of the published canon they
disregard, let alone gamer-built material, like the Shadow of the Spider
Moon.

Unfortunately, I think that Leroy's statement that both are the focus of this
list is inaccurate--even though he's the list ogre.  There are a number of
fans of that setting, true, but most of the vocal people on the list don't
seem to care for it.  IMO, most people here focus on the published canon
material and/or their own variations and spheres, rather than Shadows of the
Spider Moon.

P.S.  Leroy, that title isn't very Spelljammerish.  How about "List Giff"?
