The following two books are crossovers in which Lord Soth and others are transported to the Ravenloft world.

Six novels set in the Spelljammer universe were published by TSR before TSR was incorporated into Wizards of the Coast. The novels were interconnected and formed "The Cloakmaster Cycle". The novels tell the story of Teldin Moore, a 'groundling' farmer on Krynn who has a powerful and apparently cursed magical cloak that was given to him. The series puts the character on a quest, and showcases the Spelljammer universe.
