[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7752018, member: 37579"] I doubt the spine would have a different title. He likely just didn't want to reveal the full cover. Given the simplest answer is likely the most obvious, Stewart likely shifted and repositioned the picture to cover the main title and adjusted the rest of the papers and exposed the spine by accident. Again, the problem with a "Planescape Player's Handbook" is we haven't seen enough content for such a book. And that title makes it sound like a different game; you don't want someone to buy a book expecting a full game and only getting a setting. -edit - The cover is also very clearly of King Snurre, from [I]Hall of the Fire Giant King[/I] and the enemy being confronted on the cover of the existing PHB. And while his dragon pelt is of a white dragon, here it is red, matching the red cover scheme of the existing PHB. This all really suggests its the same book with a fancy cover. Again, like the did the prior two editions, only just a little late. I imagine we'll see a blue/green beholder cover for the MM and a purple lich cover for the DMG. They've done collector's editions for 3e and 4e prior. I imagine there's a lot of people who just want a fancy shelf copy to place beside those or "complete the set" of the other fancu copies. Perhaps one they can get signed at cons. I doubt they'll do that again. It wasn't particularly well received when they tried it with 3e and 4e. [/QUOTE]
