1) I have noticed that Spelljammer lacks the small ships that should be dominating wildspace. The big ships are great but not all spacers could afford those kind of ship unless they stumble into a fortune. I am pixel drawing (sorry I only have MS Paint to work with here)some small and medium ships. I can make two lines look almost like a ship, but I am dense when it comes to assigning tonnage and what not to a ship. So any help would be appreciated. =) http://www.geocities.com/asibal_2000/spelljammer/sjtodo.html ------------------------------------------- 2) New helm types - Good or bad review appreciated A) Transjamming Helm - Acts as a major sj helm - Allows once a week to fold space (teleport the whole ship) to any coordinate the helmsman desired within the crystal sphere. Any obstacle within the chosen coordinate would prevent the fold to happen and waste the teleport until another week recharge. If there is enough space for the ship, a called shot teleport can occur allowing the ship to appear inside an asteroid cavern. A wrong alignment of the ship with the passage of the cavern would prevent the teleport. - Require a very talented navigator/astrogator to pinpoint coordinates. A called teleport to x,y,z coordinate would require familiarity with crystal sphere planetary procession and other events in the cosmos (and lots of dice rolling and DM giggling). A simple teleport to open wildspace happens except on a roll of 1 which mean something else botch the teleportation of the ship. B) Phase-Helm - Acts as a minor/major helm - Allow twice a week for the ship to phase in and out of wildspace into the ethereal plane. Each phase shift counts as one use of the power and for each charge would require a week to replenish the power. The power can be used separately and can charge at different time. Allows passage through solid objects at non-spelljamming speed at SR per helmsman. (DM can enforce a time limit for the phase shift to end.) - Require a very talented navigator/astrogator --------------------------------------------- 3) I am also collecting info on any SJ helms, engines or magical items to power a ship. http://www.geocities.com/asibal_2000/spelljammer/engine.html A.Sibal __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
