M20 Aetherflow

You might call it M20 Spelljammer. Please don’t.

The thing is that no part of SpellJammer is or was Open Game Content. The d20 mini-game in Polyhedron 151 is great, but as stated on the first page, NOT open game content. 100% proprietary. Andy Collins’ site has references to material left out of the Polyhedron article, but all of that is also NOT open game content.

The name Spelljammer itself is a registered trademark of Wizards of the Coast. This post will not challenge that trademark. Other items of the setting are also trademarked and proprietary. I say this because SpellJammer cannot be used to reference the idea of magical spacefaring adventure despite the similarity in concepts.

As such, let me begin by saying I want to extend the M20 ruleset (including standard races and classes) to an extra planetary setting. The working title of this setting will be Aetherflow, abbreviated AF. I will attempt to write this from scratch using other M20 materials developed by others as well as my own ideas.

Drakkangrall Notes

Part of this came from a desire to see all of a dragon’s stats. Limiting a red dragon to bite or breath seemed very limiting. Dragons are much more than that, they are a force to be reckoned with.

Another part comes from a desire to give back to a game system I love.

While I have a few minutes, wanted to jot down some ideas:

Nyoka – Supreme deity of dragons. Often referred to as Nyokala Dithi, the Story Dragon. Has three children known by various names:

Veles (the Shepherd) – God of the metallic dragons. Also known by other names.

Ket – Serpentine God of the Chromatic Dragons. Also known as Tiamat.

Isuan (the controller) – Aloof god of the gem dragons.

Sang is Nyoka’s avatar. He hold court over the Lung Dragons of the East.

Outside of Nyoka’s influence are the three Pearl Dragons. Their origins are a mystery.

They can take the form of a humanoid or a dolphin. Their scales are smooth and take the appearance of dolphin skin at all stages of their lives.

White Pearl – usually evil. Hates humanoids.
Black Pearl – usually good. Loves humanoids, especially elves.
Dark Pearl – usually neutral. Tends to be the studious one – more spells or psionic ability.
