Francisco's Reviews > Spelljammer: Adventures in Space

This has been a controversial release for a number of reasons, and I understand those reasons perfectly. It feels like there isn't enough here to make for a robust setting, particularly missing space-battle information and mechanics, there is a particularly insensitive new player race/NPC race, the Hadozee which have been accused of being racist stereotypes with some reason, in my opinion.

However, all in all it's still a fun box set. It does feel somewhat incomplete, but nothing a dedicated DM can't fill out and the adventure (Light of Xaryxis) included is pretty fun, though short, and somewhat rushed, again making it the DMs job to put some more meat in those bones. 

The best part of this is the way it's broken up into three books and a truly beautiful DM screen, the different books are a boon for DMs who can have them all open at once, rather than leafing endlessly back and forth between enemies, the adventure and campaign setting details. Another great thing about this is the interior and exterior art, some really beautiful stuff here, and really not that expensive for the thick box set that it is. Is it perfect? Far from it, but is it worth the price of admission? Ultimately, sure, particularly if you can find it with a good discount somewhere.
