So, i've collected most of the spelljammer books, mostly because they cross from Krynn to Toril, and i picked them up for a dollar each (a canadian dollar, so thats like 8 cents american), but i have yet to read any of them. Are they any good, and do they actually have a realms feel to them.

| They weren't bad and a few of them seemed to have a FR feel, especially Elaine's, because.... well... it's Elaine's. :) |
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

Spelljammer is a part of the Realms..there are hints here and there...like the War Captains box set has info on Evermeet
the best book is of course Realmspace, the Rock of Bral (thus that book) is usually placed in the Tears of Selune
and as another canadian...our dollar is worth alot more than 8 cents american...we just keep it lower so we aren't superior to the USA in too many ways  
just kidding to all the Yanks in Candlekeep  |

I think that the original poster meant the spelljammer novels, which is why he/she posted this in the novels boards. :) Not the sourcebooks. |

| I meant novels, but seeing how it is a dead series like darksun, i love that there are mentions and tie-ins to current products. It aleviates a bit of the feeling of stagnation. |

Aside from Elaine's SJ book -- The Radiant Dragon -- I also enjoyed Into the Void by Nigel Findley, which featured Nimbral to some degree (it was, for a long while, one of the few sources on Nimbral).

There's also the spelljammer.org site, which is doing a splendid job keeping SJ alive in 3e.
