  • An "Official" Spelljammer Guide to the Spheres [Revised 1.0]
    Guide to the Spheres An "official" Spelljammer Guide to the Spheres [revised 1.0] By Paul Westermeyer aka GMWestermeyer Table of Contents: Page Section 1 Introduction 2 Phlogiston Navigation 4 Phlogiston Transit Times 4 Where is the Rock of Bral? 6 “Official” Flow Map 7 The Spheres and other Phlogiston Locations 23 ‘Loose’ Planets/Worlds 34 Bibliography: Introduction Spelljammer is a very unique and creative setting, but it is also one of the worst organized settings TSR produced with material is scattered among many different products. This makes it very difficult to find what you are looking for, a problem exasperated by Spelljammer’s status as a ‘connection’ campaign, designed (like Planescape) to connect the ‘big’ three settings, Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, and Dragonlance. I’ve been working to alleviate this problem by writing guides and indices for those aspects of Spelljammer that are most important for creating a coherent, rational game setting. The first of these guides was An “Official” Spelljammer Timeline, which collated Spelljammer-related historical mentions in published TSR products into a cohesive, coherent timeline that Spelljammer (or Hackjammer) gamemasters could use as the foundation of their own, personalized campaigns. This guide, An “Official” Spelljammer Guide to the Spheres, has a similar purpose. Spelljammer’s iconic center is the Rock of Bral, just as Sigil is the iconic heart of Planescape, Spelljammer’s setting cousin, but Sigil’s location is quite firmly placed at the center of the Plane of Concordant Opposition, metaphorically the heart of the entire Advanced Dungeons and Dragons multiverse. Moreover, the various inner and outer planes are all well mapped in relation to each other, and have been ever since the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Player’s Handbook in 1978.

    Generic 3.5th Edition D&D JumpChain CYOA v0.2a By DataPacRat "In a ten foot by ten foot room, you see an orc guarding a chest..." You know the drill by now; you're given 1,000 Character Points, and will be staying here for ten ​ ​ years. If you don't have any 3.5 D&D books handy, you can use the open-source System Reference Documents, available at http://www.d20srd.org/index.htm . ​ ​ Any fractional costs are rounded up to the next-highest CP. The DM's House-Rules: Sourcebooks: In most D&D games, the DM has ​ certain kinds of stories they want to tell. Throwing Eberron magic-trains into Krynn kind of derails that. And putting together ridiculous combinations of feats and prestige classes to achieve absurdly overpowered results makes things even harder. So, in most D&D games, a limited number of books are used to build your characters and settings. Here, you can buy one, some or all of these options, once or several times: ● Free: Core: the DMG, PHB, and Monster ​ Manual; and/or the SRD. ● Free: One Setting: One particular ​ setting's line of books, which has 3.5e material published by WotC. ● 50: Non-Core: WotC's generic books, ​ such as Complete Scoundrel. This includes the Epic Handbook (except for Epic Spellcasting). ● 100: Canon-esque: WotC-published but not ​ quite canon: Dragon Magazine and 3.0 edition books. ● 100: Another Setting: With 3.5e material ​ published by WotC: Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Ravenloft, Eberron, Planescape, etc. ● 50: Splatbook: Any single third-party ​ 3.5e-compatible book.
