Thanks for the complement.

By the way, you might be an amateur, but your setting idea is a very good one.

I think the Spelljammer techno-fans will love this sphere as it would give them an excuse
to bring technology into the rest of their campaign. The setting would obviously have
slightly less apeal to the techno-phobes, but I think that the Earth humans could be
fairly easily removed from the setting (or replaced with fantasy humans) to convert
Shieldspace to a more conventional spelljammer sphere.

Everybody has writing problems. I'm told professional writers do several rewrites of stuff
before it gets published, so that they can improve on it. I'm sure that the rest of us can
copy some of their tricks and act *as if* we are professional writers.

Sounds really cool. If you are playing then you might have more time to step back from
your setting and look at it from the outside. It might give you some new ideas. You could
also take note of the bits that players enjoy or find confusing.
