Planescape The New Planescape Adventure Sounds Awfully Familiar

[MockingBird]

I knew of it via ads in Dragon.

Didn't have a PC until a few years later so missed it and BG1/2.

IMO very great games, worth checking out. They are dated though. PS: Torment got a lot of praise from critics for its story at the time it was released.

I'm aware think I have BG enhanced edition.

I would suppose that the details will vary considerably.

I suppose they’ll have to - you can’t build up to [the reveal that involves a tattoo] if you have more than one party member.

So my initial response was while I was on the highway (dont tell my wife) and on further reflection.

OK? I mean it is a very cool story, but I hope they dont ruin it?

Perkins likes his retro callbacks, but usually more thematic callbacks than direct one-to-one reitertions (so for example the "Dwellers of the Forbidden City" Chapter in Tomb of Annhilation is simialr in theme and general structure to the original module of that name, but the specifics are all different). And this format gives the chance to so something genuinely different from prior 5E campaigns, and distinctly Planescape-y.

Like you, I have a feeling that it's going to be more "inspired by" than "near clone" of Planescape: Torment.

Even if the adventure copies the setup of PS:T, it can still have a very different story.

I'd bet a fortune a very tiny portion of current players even know about the game, let alone have played it.

Yup even if you played ot as a kid you would be around 30.
