Spelljammer has sort of a niche audience.  It's a damn cool and original
concept, and one that captivates us all.

Since Spelljammer is no longer being produced, we have to look towards
other sources for materials and inspiration.  Sites like Beyond the Moons
and The Shattered Fractine are great resources.

At the same time, there are some gems to be found from 3rd party sources.
Airships was a pretty cool supplement.  The Aerial Adventure Guides were
sort of cool too, and I'm real curious about Aether and Flux, as it seems
to take a lot from Spelljammer.

If there is a resource out there that can help us keep Spelljammer alive,
then it is worth a look.  It doesn't mean that this forum turns into a
place for game manufacturers to advertise their products.

What it means is that we, as Spelljammer fans, look at products already out
there, and try to figure out how it may help us with Spelljammer gaming.
For example, I picked up Airships recently, and tried converting a
galleon.  As it turns out the galleon conversion was fairly decent.

With new ideas, comes new inspiration.  Inspiration breeds creativity, from
which new Spelljammer materials may be born.

Just my two steel.
