Spelljammer is basically FANTASY PIRATES IN SPACE with shitloads of strange stuff, like elves what have symbiotic weapons, mechanical gnomes and anthropoid hippos obsessed with dakka.
It is also FUCKWIN when done correctly. It is for Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, but people have been trying to drag it into Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition since 3e came out.
Why are There Ships in Space?
Spelljammer was originally conceived as another setting for Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, but instead of making yet another stand-alone setting, Spelljammer was designed to link together all of the settings of the time into a single universe. Or perhaps multiple universes, because each setting has its own Ptolemaic universe, called a Sphere. All of the various Spheres float within a space called The Flow, filled entirely with a substance known as Philostigon. Philostigon is gaseous, highly flammable, cannot exist within a Sphere, and not soluble in water.
As the magical arts within one of the spheres became sophisticated enough in the long past, someone took to the stars in a magical ship. They got lucky because Spelljamming physics is just messed up enough to permit this kind of travel, and the rest was history.
