Re: Sphere Guides

Hey Jonathan,
I would be very interested in seeing your conversion fr Dragonstar (have all
the books, just havent gotten a game together yet.) Since it is off topic
feel free to email me directly humidcity (at) gmail (dot) com. One reason I
am interested is that last campaign I presented the Dragon Empire as the
"flipside," of spelljammer, much like in the old Star Trek episode Mirror
Mirror. And yes, there was an Arcane with a beard......

On the other hand it could also provide a really nice foundation for a full
on 3.5 reboot of RoB, just back out the tech and the any Dragon Empire
stuff.

Either way, I for one would love to see some of your work on this.
