So decided I'm going to divide my Spelljammer ships and deck plans supplement into chapters, especially for the themed ships in the line.

For the three Japanese inspired ships, I've created a broken planet, destroyed from the too close, passage of a massive planet ripping the planet shreds. The hot exposed core vaporized the seas and surface water into a more expansive atmosphere with thicker clouds. Even the frequent rains and mists that fall past the floating rocks get evaporated before reaching the core and starting the cycle once again. Some of the chunks are massive supporting farms and cities. Some are small, with flora, fauna and civilization.

Xalapa is the capital and planet of the Olmec Confederacy, a mountainous jungle world with extensive underground river systems throughout reaching the seas. The Olmec were among the first Spelljamming cultures, just shortly after the Egyptian introduction. They have since returned to the Earth on several rescue missions to bring entire cities of subsequent indigenous civilizations before others would come and destroy their worlds - as predicted by Olmec prophecy. Among their retrievals were Aztecs, Mayans and Chacoan peoples. Each live on a different moon that orbits the gas giant, Chac Ixchil, the storm god and his consort, Lady Rainbow in the Olmec/Mayan pantheon. There is said to be a constant storm beneath it's tranquil rainbow surface.

The King and the Temple of the Moon ship returns and is landing at the capital.

Only mentioning that the Sahuagin with the Deep Space Angler and Astral Pirahna ships are from an ocean planet, no surface land. Only land ever revealed during high seas where the nearest surfaces break the water for moments at a time. But still felt compelled to create something for them. Several of the operating bays of Sahuagin spelljammer ships are wet bays (fully submerged) including their helms as depicted here. I don't know why, but I imagine spelljammer helms as featuring a wizard's glass (crystal ball) to view the ship and it's surroundings in combat, and wider views showing entire navigational route being taken. So that's the big glass ball in front of this Sahuagin captain at the helm...

Calling this: Spent a weekend in Innsmouth and all I got was this weird infection... or this why Illithid wear those long robes - how do you get pants over those?

Just some assets I wanted to use, but had no purpose for, so created it anyway. Now that's out of my system...

Spent a weekend in Innsmouth...

but were you cast under it's shadow....?

but were you cast under it's shadow....?

Not at all. What this? It's just a skin infection, nothing at all. I am fully in control of my faculties. No, I don't hear the siren's song that Dagon placed upon my soul - no, nothing like that...

I had a girfriend many years ago who was studying HP at uni and his influence on other writers such as Wyndham; I remember she was very enthusiastic about a new writer, who had just published his first novel, called King...
