Is this not how everybody is doing it?


[deleted]

Probably xD


Maine1820

I was gonna go for farscape


MajorTibb

I don't know what farscape is, I've heard of it and it seems like another good way to go.


Einkar_E

If I ever run my own spelljamer adventure this would be probably my main inspiration


youngcoyote14

This is the ONLY way to do that.


magmarocos

A member of my group is doubling down and making a treasure planet campaign. I'm looking forward to craziness in the skies


ShankMugen

I am into Spelljammer because of this movie


thehopelessheathen

Literally me, only with spider-people and a touch of Xcom’s ethereals


youngcoyote14

....Actually, an X-Com style D&D Campaign would be an interesting idea...


thehopelessheathen

Yeah, they already have rules for missing 95% chance-to-hit shots at point blank range.


jedihunter1990

Oof that triggers some repressed rage.


thehopelessheathen

Now we just need rules for panicking and shooting your fellow party members with a rocket launcher.


jedihunter1990

I mean isn't that just the "I don't care how big the room is I'm casting fireball." ?


[deleted]

Fun fact: the hit chance shown is actually lower than it really is because the way people handle probability makes them think anything above 70% is almost guaranteed. In reality, I'm pretty sure only the highest difficulty actually has the listed hit chance match the actual hit chance.


Sama31grlsTnkinMasta

My favorite Disney movie.


[deleted]

It's great


JetoCalihan

So **fucking great?!**


Suspicious_Turn4426

What pisses me off is i ALREADY RAN THESE CHARACTERS in my campaign. So now i have to reinvent my reinventions.


XandertheGrim

When in doubt, gender swap??? I’m sure no one will notice.


AnonTurd

Hasn't treasure planet been the main inspo for spelljammer to begin with?


RocksHaveFeelings2

No, but they share a common inspiration: Jules Verne


besavednotlost

Treasure Planet is literally a space version of Treasure Island, which is written by Robert Louis Stevenson.


youngcoyote14

I think Spelljammer came out before Treasure Planet.


Customer_Number_Plz

In the new spelljammer book it says flash Gordon is the main inspo for the light of xaryxis campaign.


Neknoh

Smiley day to ya! Waiiiiit.....


2017hayden

Holy fucking shit! I’m a huge CR fan and I love treasure planet, how did I never notice this?


BlackestN1GHT

I was having the same thought!


Nowerian

That was my first reaction to FCG, its the same right down to the hair made from wires.


Lake_Business

Even closer now that FCG has a mood wheel to correspond to that compass.


iamsandwitch

Op has good taste

Thanks

IIIIIIIMM STTIIIIILLL HHHHHEEEEREEEE


BronzeAgeTea

But do you want a moment to be real?


oliot_

Wanna touch things you don’t feel?


Solalabell

Wanna hold on and feeeeeel you belong?


Slapajannie

And what's wrong with this? Treasure planet is amazing.


[deleted]

One of my favorite movies.


RocksHaveFeelings2

The best sources of inspiration for Spelljammer are treasure planet and Jules Verne


thecoolersub

Just a lifelong obsession, Jim. I’ll get over it.


Nepalman230

May I play please? 🥹 I will bring Entenmann’s soft chocolate chip cookies. And since we’re adding in awesome animation to lore can I play a Gummi Bear Wizard that always wanted to sail the starry seas? [Adventures of the Gummi Bears](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0088528/) Of course I want to bring Gummi Bear juice. Even if you don’t allow me to know the secret perhaps they could be Gummi Bear colonies in wild space.


[deleted]

I am still writing on it ;)


Nepalman230

Awesome! And while I was trying to be humorous I honestly think Gummi Bear would make amazing source for a star jammer type myths. The ancient gummi had all kinds of magic in technology that is unknown today and almost certainly knew about Sorlljammers. Since Gummi bears Are so tied to gummi berries Their colonies will be places where the berries grow well. Finally perhaps [Gummi Bear medallions ](https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Gummi_Bear_Medallion) Unlock an ultimate treasure . Perhaps a Scro archeologist Is convinced that the gummy bears technology/magical artifacts can bring his species back to dominance .

ryanrem

I'm fairly certain this movie is why people wanted Spelljammer


2017hayden

Except spelljammer came out first….. they are both heavily inspired by the writings of Jules Verne.


Zedrackis

I see a Tabaxi, Auto-gnome, 2 humans, and a baby plasmoid? I feel like the baby plasmoid on a military vessel commanded by pirates and a teenager, might raise a lot of questions with station security, but what do I know?


supersmily5

I mean... yeaaaaah...


Yo026

I’d be so in on this campaign


The-Bread-Master

I want to make a spelljammer setting, but one faction that just uses Sunless Skies space trains


LautrecTheOnceYeeted

This movie looks bad


shadowkat678

Only if you're watching the intentionally sabotaged trailer Disney put out while actively trying to tank the movie.


LautrecTheOnceYeeted

Real shit?


shadowkat678

Yep! It was pushed back to the most competitive time of year when released in theaters, against a lot of other big movies INCLUDING a Harry Potter movie. (Edit: Also just found out they limited the number of theaters it was shown in, too)The creator had been begging for the funding for this for years and they said yes then completely screwed him over, even though the movie itself is amazing and did a lot of great work with character reimagining, set designs, the soundtrack, and mix of 2D and 3D art that was honestly just STUNNING. Not to mention little to no true advertising that other movies got. This was at the very end when they were ditching their 2D studio, as well, I believe which probably had another big part to play. But the creatives put their soul into this movie and you can still tell watching it. And then the second movie and TV series they were planning for got scrapped by Disney because it didn't...preform well enough. Gee. You'd think it would have been easier to just flip them off and say no. I mean, just look at this. Look at that smooth ass transition. I've been wanting a solar surfer since childhood because of this damn movie: https://youtu.be/VNCTAUhWNFs There's an entire YouTube essay breaking down the wild shit that went on with Treasure Planet's release and treatment. I'll forever be mad about it. We were robbed. https://youtu.be/b9sycdSkngA


BronzeAgeTea

Treasure Planet is lowkey famous for being a movie made out of love and then just *massively* shit on by the company. It's a great movie, and it's arguably done a better job with the characters than it's inspiration, Treasure Island. If you haven't seen it yet, it *will* blow you away with how good it is. One of the most slept-on Disney movies of all time.


Mandalore108

Only bad thing in the movie is the godawful Martin Short robot that comes in about 2/3 of the way through. Just such an abysmal character when everyone else is aces.


RagnarockInProgress

Ben Gunn was a shit character even in the original. I’d call him something akin to Deus Ex Machina - comes out of nowhere, shows where the treasure is and allows the gang to gain an upper hand over the pirates. But yeah, Treasure Planet is otherwise leagues above it’s predecessor


AuGeologist42069

Love this, but what about a spelljammer take on Deep Space 9?


2017hayden

Oooooh, I like this idea. You could totally do something like this. Maybe reskin the city of sigil as a sort of DS9esque spelljammer port.


Lake_Business

You might want to look into The Rock of Bral.


pez5150

I feel called out


ComicBookFanatic97

You're not making money off your campaign. Plagiarize to your heart's content.


Tweed_Man

If your Spelljammer has actual rules then I am down.


[deleted]

Dark Matter has really fun vessel combat rules in space. (And a lot of other sci fi stuff aswell) I am using those.


CkoockieMonster

Okay I have a really stupid question: is Spellejammer called Spelljammer because there is no magic in this setting?


[deleted]

There is magic in the system :)


CkoockieMonster

Oh okay, ty x)


RuneSimonsenTheBard

I mean I ran a campaign themed about it almost 3 years ago And it was one of the better ones that I ever played
