Re: The Nature of Space - Part 5

Any chance that the 3e ship stats on the ships at
http://spellflight.com/Spelljammer/. are finished? I have just ended the
Unhuman War II in my campaign, and these would slot in wonderfully. Since I
am just integrating g a new character who is an ex-EIN arcane archer it
would work very nicely....
