Spelljammer Wiki for sale - just $19.95 per month
I've been contacted by Sannse with the offer of buying back Spelljammer Wiki's advertising space for $19.95 per month.
I figure that if Wikia are going to sell me my own wiki for $19.95 per month (which seems like quite a lot to me), I might as well find out how much it would cost to move my data elsewhere.
Ultimately, my preferred choice would be to get this encyclopedia onto Beyond the Moons. But if anyone has some other options, please feel free to contact me. David Shepheard 04:00, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hidden Spelljammer Material - Part 1 Endless Quest - Wild Ride
One of the problems about the Spelljammer Campaign Setting is that there is only so much of it.
Adding the Cloakmaster Cycle novels gives you a bit more to work with. But that only gives you so much additional stuff.
So I'm going to be looking for Spelljammer references in other material from TSR.
One of the things I have found is a book called A Wild Ride. This is Endless Quest number 41. The Endless Quest books are those books, where you can choose the adventure yourself.
I have heard that there are flaws in the book (i.e. that they got Spelljammer wrong), but I'm going to buy a copy anyway. (Even if this book is bad Spelljammer, I am sure there are some good things in there that could be raided.)

Create your own Spelljammer magazine
We have another new feature at Spelljammer Wiki: the ability for people to make their own Spelljammer magazines.
The feature acts like a wizard. Once you activate it you will see a bar at the top of the screen. Simply navigate to the articles you are interested in and add them to the magazine. Once you have all the ones you want, you can move on to design the front cover and then publish the magazine.
Having investigated the feature, I do have one warning about it. The wizard lets you start the process when you are not loogged in, but you do need to be logged in to be able to actually save or publish your magazine. Accounts on this wiki are totally free (and will also allow you to edit on other Wikia wikis) but if you don't want to create an…
Box added to user pages
If you have an account here, you will probably notice that you now have an information box at the top of your page showing that it is a user page.
This is all part of the process of flagging up all 'out of character' pages. A while ago, I imported a template from Forgotten Realms Wiki (called 'ambox') and I will be using ambox to create a set of matching boxes that can be placed on the top of other out of character information (like articles about Spelljammer artists).
Template:Userpage looks a bit fiddly, but it has been set up, so that if anyone downloads an entire copy of Spelljammer Wiki your user page will have a box that points back to this website. There is also a warning that you might not have given specific permission for your user…
