Found at a half price books -
Star Fleet A Call to Arms (RPG?) for $12.00 seemed like a good deal.
And D&D Spelljammer Adventures in Space (Box set) appears like this is new and was $35 which I don't think is quite half off but was still a good deal. So of course I grabbed both.

A Call to Arms Star Fleet book by Mongoose Publishing a Star Fleet Universe
D&D Spelljammer Adventures in Space A Thrilling space-based adventure setting for the world's greatest roleplaying game. box set (book shelve game?)

Jeff Grubb: Spelljammer (Paperback, TSR Inc., Wizards of the Coast) No rating

I think one of the main flaws of the original #Spelljammer #dnd setting was that it tried to hard to be a sort of "connecting tissue" between other D&D settings, rather than having its own unique developed culture and environment.

While #Planescape also connected the different D&D worlds with each other, it went much further into being a fully-developed setting in its own right, and thus I regard it as the superior line.

If Spelljammer had published a collection of interconnected crystal spheres - a whole "space sector" for the PCs to explore, with different factions and cultures that play off against each other - then it might have been a lot more interesting. To me, at least - others might prefer the "toolkit" approach that Spelljammer ultimately took.
