Very true.  I know that I simplified rules for Spelljamming back in 2e for
my own games.

I am so glad to hear somebody say this!  :)

If I were to run a SJ campaign, I'd be utilizing a variety of sources as
well, including Beyond the Moons, Shattered Fractine, Spider Moon, the
classic SJ materials, Airships, Aether and Flux, etc. etc.

Exactly.

Back in the day when I ran Dragonlance hard and heavy, I had a game that
was a "next generation" sort of game.  When Second Generation came out, I
incorporated the Knights of Takhisis.  The game was fantastic, and read
like a book.  Continuity changed when Dragons of Summer Flame came out.

Rather than rewriting the campaign, I continued on with mine.  This was
the foundation for War of the Dark Lance, which you can find on the DL
Nexus.

Here it is, years later, and this alternate history is soon to be the
foundation for a new project I'm working on, that takes the history
forward.  Yes, it is an alternate history for DL, but it is fun, and will
be worthwhile to the DL gaming community.
