Re: What are Spelljammer campaigns actually like?

Well as far as SJ standards go if you look at the products they vary wildly.
Editing was extremely inconsistent and in many cases it seems the developers
were not speaking to one another. The uneven treatment given in the
riginally published materials is probably one reason the line fell apart.

It surely is not enought to satisfy (a problem we are also seeing with
Planescape, although Planescape material is creeping in a bit faster with
all the materials about the lower planes being published lately).

The drbs and drabs we are seeing in the 3.5 materials are eough to help keep
it part of the mix, and hopefully will help steer some people towards our
efforts and the site. Any press is good press as they say.
