[edit] This article should be expanded to include other crystal spheres

The original author of this article has written it in such a way that it can only apply to the first three cyrstal spheres detailed in the Spelljammer AD&D, Adventures in Space, boxed set.

That boxed set only features three crystal spheres, but there have been more spheres included in other Spelljammer role playing products (the adventures Crystal Spheres and Under the Dark Fist have several spheres) or novels (several spheres are mentioned - with the most relivant one being Spiralspace - the sphere containing The Rock of Bral - from the AD&D Adventures in Space boxed set).

I think that the start of the article should be edited to be more general, so that every Spelljammer crystal sphere can be included here. Descriptions of spheres as being "planetary systems" should be moved down below the title of each crystal sphere, because there are also non-standard systems out there (ie most of this information should be moved down to be included within the Greyspace, Krynnspace and Realmspace sections).

[edit] This article should also literally be a list

I also suggest that because every crystal sphere is effectively a campaign setting in itself, this article should literally be an alphabetical list. A list of all Spelljammer crystal spheres with the detailed descriptions of individual spheres moved to separate articles.

Doing this would allow articles like Greyspace, Krynnspace and Realmspace to have lots of Greyhawk, Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms references, without swamping all the other crystal spheres with these links.

The Realmspace part of the article already has Spelljamming information about places on the world of Toril (the FR campaign world) and this one sphere could probably be expanded to about ten times its existing size (especially if new material from Beyond the Moons was referred to).
