I design shipsets

Hugh, that's not what I was thinking at all.

Try looking at some ships in these links:

I'll try to find some more Spelljammer sites. There aren't many out there...

Hmmm... get a couple of Spelljammer shipsets, tweak the data files a bit, make elven, dwarven, orc race pics...

I'd say there's the makings of a fine "sci-fantasy in space" mod...

Any thoughts?

I have a decent set of Spelljammer ship images, mostly the deckplans...PDF scans from boxed sets (I used to run a Spelljammer game

). Would you interested in some of them for source material?

A beholder fleet would be an interesting encounter in a sci-fantasy mod...

Woundwort:
Have you seen Adamant Mod? Also, look for the Fantasy Mod by Spoon. But I think Adamant is closer to what you are describing, cause the Fantasy Mod is meant just to be fantasy, without sci-fi.

Xaren:
Those would indeed be useful.

I took a look at the Adamant home page. It looks interesting, but I got the impression that only the Physical stuff is done. I'd have to see more of the Magical races' data to know if it's what I had in mind - something like a Spelljammer campaign (i.e. everybody's magical). I'll have to take a closer look at the Fantasy Mod and see what he did with facilities - that's probably close to how I'd envisionage it...

Not that I want to do this all by myself. If enough interest in this thing is generated, perhaps this could be moved to a new message thread...

A qualified "yes", as I don't have 3D modelling software and have zero experience at that sort of thing.

That's why I first came here, to download shipsets...

Some good starting shipsets for a background like this (pending orginal authors' approval) might be the Space Vikings/Valkyries ala Dogscoff, and the SaltyDogs from PBW.

^How's this?

General Woundwort · #7 April 16th, 2003, 03:19 AM

You da Man(atee)!

I just downloaded the Fantasy Mod. I'll have to look over the data files to see what the structure is. Just for starters, I'd probably just try re-naming the basic SEIV stuff to a more Spelljammer-esque environment, and then tweak it from there.

Any other ideas? (nervously glancing towards the Imperator...)
