Our gaming group bought a second hand source books/boxed set of D&D2nd Ed SpellJammer. Now the nightmare starts for me. How on earth do you start converting this to 3.5?

Converting the creatures / monsters is not an issue, as I can get a generic in the Monster Manual and just leech those stats and suck thumb here and there.

The nightmare involves fighting in space. There is so many things to consider when a Neogi Death Spider bears down on a Trader for instance. I have to face this at some point (the players wont be happy with me stranding them on the Rock of Bral due to my "DM Space-fright".

Any ideas how to tackle this ? Sympathy also welcome.

Go ask in the 3E boards.

Check out D20 Sci-fi board. There is a link to D20 Dragon Star which is very close to what you are looking for.

I never really cared for Spell Jammer and the like, except some of the art work.

There was an issue of Polyhedron Magazine which dealt with this conversion. I just can“t remember the number...

http://www.darkwood.org/sj/ is the official website. It has some conversions ther already and is a good site.

It was Polyhedron 151 that you are thinking of Donblas. It had an attempt at a new system for SJ in 3e. I prefere mixing convertions to 3e with some homebrew rules.
