    The space clowns have to be a reference to Killer Klownz from Outer Space. That’s such a fun movie.

    Spelljammer (1989) likely named this because Wavejammers were released in 1987 and the name sounded good so they made a change to it. Also there are the following Spelljamers : - a ship or construct with a helm (minor or major) - THE Spelljammer - a massive powerful legendary Manta ray ship - there is only one and even if destroyed another appears (Google smalljammers) - a person that uses the helm on a ship that makes the ship fly (Sometimes all PCs get this title in some tables) - name of the setting The reason they had that mitosis for creating Crystal Spheres is because DMs make them (when they make a home setting) usually based on other settings. So one makes two. There are ships in sci-fi that are like the Starjammer ships. Jase and the Wheeled Warriors, Captain Harlock Universe and the Space Battleship Yamato shows his this trope has always had mileage. But more importantly notice that the tropes of Old SciFi all works great for Spelljammer because they share so much in common.

    I love the idea of the birth of a crystal sphere. How the astral is analogous to a dream dimension and the other multiverses (crystal spheres) come into existence as a IRL being (a DM) dreams them into existence.

    24:52 they call them spelljammers because you used to have to literally jam your spells into the ship to fuel it, expending your spell slots for the day

    Chris Perkins has said in an interview that the Eyemonger is the spiritual successor of the Aster-eater; it's basically exactly the Aster-eater with a new power, I think an anti-magic belly or something. The point is the Aster-eater has been acknowledged and left behind. Tragedy.

    They are called spelljammers as a riff or homage to the original "tall ships" sailing term windjammer. this information is all old, a decent amount of information has been released about the new 5e spelljammer, for instance pholgiston is no longer part of the setting and Crystal Spherses just float in the astral sea.

    With the sphere births i think both yours and the official one are similar. My thought is the official one represents someone creating their own campaign in an existing aetting and the official timeline of that setting, as their campaigns may not match. Thusly a new sphere would be birthed from the old. Where as I like your idea for an entirely new homebrew. Like almost a bigbang with an empty part of wild space having a singularity develop into the entirely new setting.

    They don't talk about the phlogiston, but they don't say it doesn't exist. They DO mention crystal spheres, though. The way I reconcile it is that the phlogiston is still there, but they figured out how to leave the Prime Material Plane at the crystal sphere, entering the Astral Plane (which is really just a void more than an actual plane) because it's far safer and doesn't have the issues with currents. Newer spelljammer helms automatically make this jump, but can still sail the phlogiston if they wanted to, and there still stuff to find if you do.

    They are called spell jammers because of how they enter and exit wild space. The null magic zone allows for travel through the blind eternity which is essentially condensed mana

    They are called spell jammers bc there is an X-men group called the star jammers who are space pirates (cyclops’ dad is the captain) and is flavored a lot like the dnd setting. At least they are so similar that there has to be a connection there. Some dnd writer in the 80s probably drew inspiration.
