Yeah, I liked Space Lairs a lot. Base of Woes is pretty darn cool, The 
Good Ship Gump is a great idea, and a few of the other adventures gave 
me great ideas for how to use various SJ creatures that I just never 
imagined actually using in a game (ex: the syllix - I know they were 
based on the sathar from Star Frontiers, but they just never seemed that 
plausible in SJ to me until I read Space Lairs).

Incidentally, Base of Woes inspired me to do a write-up on elven 'Crown 
Bases' as I call their rings. If anyone's interested I'll send it to the 
list.
