Re: Proposal: Into the Void: a Spelljammer online magazine

Into the Void sounds like a great idea for a magazine. I hope that you can get enough
people to provide content. I guess it will have a "Moon of the Month" in every issue if
you are doing it! ;-)

Here are some other things that I'd be interested in seeing at some point:

* Some sort of question and answer column. "Ask Estriss" perhaps. ;-)

* A list of Spelljammer websites and what's on them. There are a lot of tiny Spelljammer
websites out there that some people might not know about. They are not all listed on DMOZ
so can be hard to find.

* Reviews of non-Spelljammer related material (websites and game books) that can be
converted to Spelljammer. Telling us what stuff is. Why the reviewer thinks it is worth
converting (eg: *why* it is cool enough for the Spelljammer setting). How much work is
involved in a conversion. (Plus a link to the website where the original stuff can be
found.) I'd personally prefer articles to concentrate on stuff that could legally be
republished (Open Game Content, perhaps) so that conversion stats could be put up on BtM
for the best sites and books reviewed.

* Some sort of history of Spelljammer (out of character) that tells us a bit about the
Spelljammer creators (including all the authors of Spelljammer stuff) and what they are
doing now. Don't forget to put in stuff about people on the SJ Council as some of us will
not know who *you* are.

* Interviews with Spelljammer authors. If you can get any of them to answer an email full
of questions.

* A Spelljammer 3e column. (With articles being reused on BtM's 3e pages). Maybe the first
issue could have Static's wish list for 3e rules. :-)

* Writing competitions that encourage new people to submit stuff.

* Adventure ideas. Not necessarily full adventures. People could point out groups of NPCs
in the Dragonlance, Greyhawk and Fogotten Realms settings that might be found in space.
And what they might be doing. For example the Knights of Nimbral could be found doing
something in Realmspace. Perhaps they need to take a message to a Spelljamming port
somewhere in Realmspace and want the help of the players.
