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. -

Good agents don't stay dead... You're a top agent for Texas Intelligence — and somebody just killed you. Now you've awakened as a Gold Cross clone, to finish the job your former self had started. Your assignment: Penetrate Houston — a ruined, ravaged city of gangs, led by a dictator named Golden Moses; Steal the detonators — vital devices, salvaged from a sunken nuclear sub, now about to be used to launch an atomic attack against the nation of Texas; And escape — driving through the worst urban jungle in North America! From the Psycho-Delics to the Slimes, every gang in the city will be out to kill you. Be ready to deal with hostile cars, choppers — maybe even tanks — to win your way to freedom through Houston's Mean Streets is a programmed adventure for Car Wars. You should have the Car Wars Deluxe Edition, or the Car Wars Compendium and a set of maps and counters. It can be played three ways: * As a solo adventure — no opponent needed. * As a two-person game — one takes the part of the agent, and the other runs the gang vehicles. * As a Game Master's guide to vehicles and encounters for a multi-player roleplaying adventure. Included are complete Car Wars stats for 18 different vehicles. Good luck, and drive offensively! Written by W.G.
