| Spelljammer is basically FANTASY PIRATES IN SPACE with shitloads of strange stuff, like elves that have symbiotic weapons, mechanical gnomes and anthropoid hippos obsessed with dakka.
| |
| | |
| It is also FUCKWIN when done correctly. It is for [[Advanced Dungeons and Dragons]], but people have been trying to drag it into [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] since 3e came out.

| == Why are There Ships in Space? ==
| |
| Spelljammer was originally conceived as another setting for [[Advanced Dungeons and Dragons]], but instead of making yet another stand-alone setting, Spelljammer was designed to link together all of the settings of the time into a single universe. Or perhaps multiple unified universes, because each setting has its own Ptolemaic universe, called a Sphere. All of the various Spheres float within a space called The Flow, filled entirely with a substance known as Philostigon. Philostigon is gaseous, highly flammable, cannot exist within a Sphere, and [[meme|not soluble in water]].
| |
| | |
| As the magical arts within one of the spheres became sophisticated enough in the long past, someone took to the stars in a magical spaceship. Literally a space ship, because the first Spelljammer was probably a sailing ship with a Spelljammer's Helm strapped on. They got lucky because Spelljamming physics is just messed up enough to permit this kind of travel, and the rest was history.
