There are already spelljammers present in BG2 -- there's one docked in the Underdark city.
Sure, but that was like twenty years ago.

Spelljammer (especially a pretty damn well animated nautiloid, for that matter) in a fairly major game franchise two decades later surprised me.

That comment was more directed at wierd's thought of his they'll reconcile BG and Spelljammer -- just a pointout that they already took place in a setting with them.

But yes it surprised me too. It's the only sign so far that the lead devs actually are as big DnD fans they say they are rather than dirty Dark Eye heathens

Didn't Baldur's Gate 2 also have some knights from Dragonlance in a dungeon?

Edit: Apparently, also in the Planer Sphere, there was the cannibalistic halflings that are from Athas, the setting of Dark Sun.

Yup, and one of the companion NPCs was a Tiefling from... I forget what the name of the city in PlaneScape is for the moment.

Haer'Dalis was from Sigil? Huh.  Wonder why I didn't remember that.


...probably because I almost never have him as a companion.

Oh, right. I forget that Athas is a special case in that it isn't connected to other planes (except the plane of fire), making it difficult to travel to or from.

So apparently one potential (out of several) causes for my headaxhes is a recently diagnosed mild astigmatism.

Unexpected things happened today (needing to move stuff so wiring people could work, later). By the end of it, between me and another person or three, we ended up moving somewhere around a ton of books. As in a literal one. Literally two thousand pounds of literary material, or thereabouts.

Frumple is tired now. Frumple was tired about two four hours ago.

E: fucking clocks how do you work

Headaxes? You're the medic, but it sounds more like a case of cranial dwarves to me.

I’m assuming headaxes was a case of attempting to type headaches.

I'm sure getting lasers blaster into one's eyeballs can fix that
