Since when is anything about the Spellplague logical? |

since like never |
When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |

Actually, you'll note that the scribe in question said "Realmspace sourcebook." So, there was never any doubt that he was referring to anything other than a particular source for information.  |

Indeed. But if I said something was in one of the "Underdark sourcebooks", I could be referring to the Underdark of 3.x, Drizzt Do'Urden's Guide to the Underdark, FOR2 Drow of the Underdark, or the 3.x core Drow of the Underdark. In contested quote, "Realmspace sourcebook" could be a supplement about Realmspace but bearing a different name, or it could be named Realmspace. Scribes unfamiliar with Spelljammer material would not necessarily understand that we spoke of the latter option, and not the former. So there.

So where? 
Anyways, since the scribe in question also noted that the spelljammer.org site offered info to support material referenced in the earlier noted source, it's likely that most scribes would come to realise that he was referring to an actual SPELLJAMMER supplement, or at least make the connection after viewing the site mentioned.

Hey,
I think the mods need to find the topic. :) |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

| The Fanged Crown is the Title of the first book of this series, sounds cool. Jan 09 is not really that far off!! |

A crown with fangs, most likely. |

Bad hamster!
I am going to guess that it is a crown of some power that once is put on cannot be removed. Thus the fangs! |

As long as it isn't "Wilds from the Sea!" I will give it a shot! |
