Space Lairs is an accessory for the Spelljammer Campaign Setting. It was the last installment of Spelljammer Reference (SJR) series of books and the second-to-last book in AD&D's line of Spelljammer books.

Avast, me hearties, and listen to me tales o' monsters that lair in the vastness of wildspace and the fiery streams o' the phlogiston. Great and terrible beasties they be, just waitin' for a daring band o' adventurers to stumble upon 'em - or seek them out! Here's a toast to those brave enough to face the challenge!

Description[]

Space Lairs was written by Nicky Rea and Wes Nicholson, with cover and interior art by David O. Miller, and cartography by John Knecht. It is an anthology of fourteen mini-adventures, with most running 3-4 pages long, designed to be easily inserted into any Spelljammer campaign. Arranged in descending order of difficulty, these encounters are designed to accommodate a broad range of player levels. In a manner similar to Book of Lairs and Book of Lairs II, each mini-adventure is predicated by a "Setup", followed by a "Lair", with each being related to a specific monster. One of these adventures, "Dwellers in the Vortex", has a connection to the Forgotten Realms through the Shou.
