Re: Mystaraspace

I myself, use Mystaraspace in my campaign, and I use a combination of the 
SJ rules and CoM space travel rules.  I think it adds uniqueness to the 
sphere.  

As far as races go, if you use the Red Steel seting which is based on 
Mystara, there are plenty of new character race options, particularly 
Lupins and Rakasta, which are further detailed in a Dragon Magazine 
article that actually breaks these races down into sub races.

(There's nothing quite like playing a halfling-sized Chihuaua-like Lupin 
Berzerker)

Anyhoo, and to answer the question about elves of Mystara, you've got more 
options than you can shake a wand at!  Shadow Elves and the Schattenalfs 
are both native only to Mystara, as are the Ice Vale, The Gentle Folk, The 
Blacklore, and the Elves of Wendar and Alfheim.  All of these are 
available as PC races.

The Shiye-Lawr in particular already pilot Alphatian skyships and as such 
they make an excellent addition to a SJ crew with little or no training, 
if one can put up with their antics.

I absoluely LOVE places like Mystara and Krynn.  They are out of the way 
locales with PC options that can't be played anywhere else. (i.e. Krynnish 
Minotaurs, Tinker Gnomes, Kender, Irda, etc.)  I think they make places 
like Toril and Oreth seem boring by comparison.
