Been reading through the PDFs. I really like Rock of Braal, Skull and crossbows, Practical Planetology. I actually have hard copies of the last two since they were by Nigel Findley one of my favorite RPG writers before he passed on. Looking forward to the books with the 2nd Unhuman war since it ties to the Cloakmaster novels.
I hear bad thing about the other setting tie-in books so I'm saving those for last.

The Astromundi Cluster is incredible. I keep hoping to run a campaign in it someday.
Practical Planetology is also a favorite of mine and I rather like Greyspace but that is because I am Greyhawker first and foremost.

As a fan of beholders I've always had a fondness for Wildspace. I've noticed when looking through my stuff recently that I didn't get a chance to fully read a lot of the material. I was surprised to find the spore reproduction of the beholders in realmspace. I should really reread everything.
I also liked the idea of Under the Dark Fist and 2nd Unhuman War adventures. Although I've since heard Under the Dark Fist has several flaws.

I never got to run it, but the spelljammer itself was awsome...the closest I ever got was to play in a game on one of the small jammers
The problem with CharOp is it fails miserably in a lot of cases to take in versatility as a factor. It's just about TEH DPPPPPPRRRRZ. Not durability, dpr, skills etc.

I always wanted to get my hands on the Astromundi Cluster material. Never did, but I do have the Legend of the Spelljammer Boxed set, that one is always fun if you are willing to devote a campaign to it or start one on it, have done that too. Still I don't think anything is more valuable to a spelljammer campaign than the War Captian's Companion set.

We got a lot of use out of Lost Ships in our games. Written by Ed Greenwood (of all people). There's rules for ship-to-ship leaps, adventure hooks for taking an earth-bound campaign into space, ideas for "spacial anomalies" like spaceworms and the Sea of Shadows (near Krynnspace). Then of course, there's the ship catalog. Twenty ships, built by and primarily used by everyone from kobolds (Angelship), undead (Flying Pyramid), goblins (Porcupine Ship), orcs (Scorpion Ship), halflings (Swan Ship), to lizard men (Turtle Ship). The flying pyramid kinda puts me in mind of Stargate: SG-1. Hmm . . . The supplement gets rounded out with new spells (like disable helm, and create atmosphere), new equipment (like giff guns for ships, and the crown of the void for PCs), and of course new monsters (from the innocuous Flow Barnacle to the unlikely Arch Lich-- a good lich, if you can believe it  ).

I loved the SJ supplements!  well "Skull & Crossbows" style ones, thought they were amazing in terms of art, layout and info. Those, some of the Dark Sun add ons like "Dune Trader", and the beastiary series "The Ilithiad" "Eye Tyrant" and "Sea Devils" were high points of TSR's era, sigh

Can someone tell me if the hardcopy of Greyspace (SJR6) has a map like Realmspace and Krynnspace? ~Bewildered

Also Lost Ships and Practical Planetology.
