Krynnspace (product code SJR7) is a supplement published by TSR in 1993 for the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons that is a crossover between the Spelljammer and Dragonlance campaign settings.
Krynnspace describes the star system of Krynn, the planet central to the Dragonlance setting, in terms of Spelljammer space travel. [1] The book takes the reader on a guided tour of the entire system. A short introduction gives a quick overview of the system. The book then describes each body within Krynnspace:
The book also introduces several notable Spelljammers who ply their trade amongst the planets, and a basic overview of the gods who have an effect on this setting. [1]
In 1984, TSR released the Dragonlance campaign setting for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. Five years later, TSR introduced Spelljammer, a campaign setting with a fantasy space environment.
In the early 1990s, TSR decided to combine Spelljammer with three of their most popular campaign settings. In 1991, TSR published Realmspace , which described the world of the Forgotten Realms in terms of Spelljammer. The following year, TSR gave the same treatment to the world of Greyhawk in Greyspace . In 1993, TSR released Krynnspace, which added the Spelljammer element to the world of Dragonlance. This 96-page softcover book with a color postcard enclosed was designed by Jean Rabe, with cartography by Newton Ewell, interior art by David C. Sutherland III and David O. Miller, and cover art by Miller. [1]
Paul Westermeyer, writing for the website Spelljammer: Beyond the Moon, thought this product contained minimally more interesting non-player characters and locations than either of its predecessors Realmspace or Greyspace, but noted that Krynnspace had "no Dragonlance flavor nor any real Spelljammer flavor." [2]
Spelljammer is a campaign setting originally published for the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, which features a fantastic outer space environment. Subsequent editions have included Spelljammer content; a Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition setting update was released on August 16, 2022.
Dragonlance is a shared universe created by Laura and Tracy Hickman, and expanded by Tracy Hickman and Margaret Weis under the direction of TSR, Inc. into a series of fantasy novels.

The adventures during that game inspired a series of gaming modules, a series of novels, licensed products such as board games, and lead miniature figures.

The flexibility of the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) game rules means that Dungeon Masters (DM) are free to create their own fantasy campaign settings. For those who wanted a pre-packaged setting in which to play, TSR, Wizards of the Coast (WotC), and other publishers have created many settings in which D&D games can be based; of these, the Forgotten Realms, an epic fantasy world, has been one of the most successful and critically acclaimed settings. Many campaign settings include standard sword and sorcery environments, while others borrow Asian, Central American, swashbuckling, horror and even space-travel themes.
Greyspace is a supplement published by TSR in 1992 for the steampunk role-playing campaign setting Spelljammer, which uses the rules for Dungeons & Dragons.
The elf is a humanoid race in the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, one of the primary races available for player characters, and play a central role in the narratives of many setting worlds of the game. Elves are described as renowned for their grace and mastery of magic and weapons such as the bow and sword. Becoming physically mature by the age of 25 and emotionally mature at around 125, they are also famously long-lived, capable of living more than half a millennium and remaining physically youthful. Possessed of innate beauty and easy gracefulness, they are viewed as both wondrous and haughty by other races in-universe; however, their natural detachment is seen by some as introversion or xenophobia. They were usually portrayed as antagonistic towards dwarves.
In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, orcs are a primitive race of savage, bestial, barbaric humanoid.
