Spelljammer works better as a way of connecting settings than a setting in its own right. I'd love a Spelljammer supplement for that reason, but the setting books themselves don't make my list.

You're the kind of person that goes out in public and gets weird looks, ranging from mockery to pity, right?
>>
>>54077861
Pre-made settings are often a service to the players, as we don't have to guess at what you have in mind for the world and can independently research and read about the setting to get ideas.

When a GM says "We're playing Forgotten Realms" sure it's shit, but at least the group is all on the same page as to the world. Unless you pump out several pages of details on your setting and everyone is up for reading, new players have little grasp on your settings.

A lot of players have been turned off on Dark Sun. Dunno why. When I rip whole chunks from the setting to use in a homebrew, they like it, but as a whole they think it's shit.
>>
>>54081229
First game I ever ran was a Dark Sun game. I used Pathfinder though, as I had been told it was "3.5 but better" and my group knew nothing but 3.5 at that point. I won't make that mistake again.

I'm also running a Planescape game in 5e right now, and it's going great! About a year and a half into it.

My own homebrew of Sci fi Monster Hunter + Sengoku Warring States because its fucking great and lot of reason why mercenaries are prevalent.
Star Wars because muh chosen ones and laser swords.
Eberron because it's basically post-WW2 on magic crack and airships.
Middle Kingdoms of RoTK because wuxia fun.
Glorian because Pathfinder Kingmaker is pretty fun even if it's messy and overwhelming.

I love any setting that is a hodgepodge of old sci-fi and fantasy goodness and this one takes the cake for me.

The best, funniest, and weirdest post-post-post-post-post-post-apocalyptic setting I've ever come across. Andy Hopp is amazing.

Dark Sun has a bad rep as being anti-Caster and anti-fun that it doesn't 100% deserve. A lot of players first exposure to it was pure nihilist grimderp and that rarely appeals, especially on anything long term.

I think if it was positioned as the dark times of a cyclical universe and hyped casting as still important, but strange and unfamiliar there'd be a line to play it. I'm just not sure if they can rehabilitate the name.

But boy would I love to see them try. I'm hoping for an actual Planescape/Spelljammer sourcebook next and then Dark Sun after that.
