|productblurb=Different worlds have different laws. But everywhere you go, you're going to find people who bend and break those laws and turn a healthy profit doing it. Whether sailing the high seas or the Flow, they are called pirates.
 
It's these pirates that you've been hired to hunt. With letters of marque in your mapcase, your job is to track down and capture, alive or dead, some of the most dangerous characters in the known (and unknown) spheres.
 
Of course, not everyone in space is a pirate. You'll also meet [[Torgan Betz]] (a man famous for bending the laws, rarely breaking them), [[Tiktitik]], the [[Thri-kreen]] crusader, "[[Thought Taker]]," the [[illithid]], and the feared [[Drow]] commander [[Teela Darkcloud]]. Even so, they all have their personal agendas, and it's often hard to tell enemies from friends.
 
''Skull & Crossbows'' is an anthology of adventures for the [[SPELLJAMMER]] campaign setting. This 64-page anthology easily follows ''[[Publication:Wildspace|Wildspace]]'', but can be used in any existing AD&D SPELLJAMMER campaign.
 
  
This adventure is designed for a party of four to six characters, levels 6 to 10.

'''''SJA2 Skull & Crossbows''''' is an anthology of adventures for the [[Spelljammer Campaign Setting]]. The product consists of one 64 page book and one poster. It was published by TSR Inc. in 1990.
 
 
==''Skull & Crossbows''==
 
The '''''Skull & Crossbows'''''' book is a set of 19 adventures for four to six characters between 6th and 10th level. The adventures have a common theme, with the first adventure and last two adventures acting as a framing device. But the other adventures have been designed to work as standalone adventures. The action starts on the [[Canon:Rock of Bral|Rock of Bral]] and then, depending on what order the adventures are run in, moves to [[wildspace]] and [[the flow]]. Most of the adventures are generic, designed to be placed anywhere, but one features a [[crystal sphere]] called [[Dead Shell, The|The Dead Shell]]. The action finishes up with a battle against the [[Tenth Pit]].
