Subject:  Re: New sphere
OK, please bear with me, but this is an attempt by me to create a sphere  for 
play in a 3.5 ed SpellJammer that I have never done much with. But right now  
there are no game mechanics or crunch and entirely description or fluff
 
Tropisphere
 
Quadruple suns travel around an Earth-like bowl shaped world in ecclectic  
orbits. This orbit is actually caused by a pair of colossal octopi that are  
juggling the suns between them while the centerpiece is held aloft in the hands  
of a titanic tikki statue. All of this makes for year round tropical 
conditions  on Planet Tikki in the Tropisphere. It's a place in the Phlogiston that is 
an  open secret and adventurers use it as a vacation spot. A fact not lost on  
pirates. Tikki is not the only world in the Tropisphere; just the most stable 
 one. Other planets wiz by Tikki as they are tossed about by the octopi at 
random  intervals although only Snowball and Slimeball come close enough to be  
considerered moons.
 
Snowball is a frigid world that gets little warmth from the suns of the  
system and is the smaller of Tikki's "moons" with frost giants; white dragons  and 
other cold native monsters living here. From hers some the more daring ogre  
magi captains stage their raids for capital and slaves, storing them in  
suspended animation for further use.
 
Slimeball gets its name due to its swamp like interior. Oozes of most types  
thrive here and the only sentient life is reptillian. Forgotten temples make 
the  supposition of ancient secrets hidden sine time immorial. What explorers 
do not  fall prey to the yuan-ti, lizard folk and their like are enslaved by 
the aboleth  that live here. Still there are no shortage of victims as greed 
know no  limit.
 
In addition to the natural satellites around Planet Tikki there are a  number 
of manufactured vessels somewhere in the sphere at all times. A titanic  
stone dwarf head with a white octagon on his forehead has been confirmed  although 
the inhabitants are not the sort of dwarves want to associate with.
