In this game, frecbooting half-elven corsairs rub shoulders with wealthy halfling merchants and dwarven freedom fighters, while fending off deadly foes such as drow, yuan-ti, and dreaded mind flayers. n, as based on the D&D Player's Handbook. In fact, this game is similar enough to D&D that you can use virtually any D&D product in your Spelljammer campaign with little or no difficulty. However, it also adds new and wondrous elements, including flying ships, firearms, and all the skills, feats, and prestige classes you need to explore the vastness of space! If you want to incorporate portions of this game into your D&D campaign, that's just as easy. Al of the new systems use familiar terms and mechanics, making it simple for a DM to add gnome scavengers, soaring vessels, or flame-throwing pistols to his home game. So strap on your cutlass and trusty sidearm, and hoist the mainsail! It’s time to take fantasy into the stars!
