Folks think we will get all 9 or 10 Hierach Modrons,....

Who thinks that?! I agree with you: 3-5 at the most.

I've seen contradicting depictions of it throughout the years. I guess having it be an open ring makes it easier to map (too many parts wrapping up to each other in the torus), so that's what they went with. But honestly I've seen both official art and fan art that went both ways.

However, it has always, IIRC, been described as a torus. Whether or not that is visible in a piece of art is dependent on a lot of factors.

Except Sigil is a torus so it should be closed, like the inside of a donut. Unless they are changing that

It's never have been closed for me.
More like the inside of a tire (bu which I mean simmilar to a torus but with a strip exposed to the void).

Those DiTerlizzi covers are looking very nice so far!

Can you get those preorder - I thought they were store exclusives? Maybe I need to go to my FLGS and put an order in!

Yes. Not pre order but reserve a copy at your FLGS.

So I never really got into Planescape back in the day and I am curious about and hopeful someone can give me a brief description of the Outlands. From the map it looks like a plane that is related too and connected to many of the planes of the great wheel. Is this correct? What is its function? Thanks!

 

[dave2008]

Yes. Not pre order but reserve a copy at your FLGS.

I may have to do that - thanks!

Right now I am think Giants on Beyond and a getting the alt-cover slipcase for Planescape

 

[dave2008]

A couple of further bits of speculation...

The hierarch modrons will be 9 or 10 of those (depending on whether we get a stat block for Primus), which is a significant percentage of the total.

I don't think we will see 9-10 of the hierarch modrons. 5e typically streamlines things. I think 4+/- is likely.

Seems better than most of their other recent releases. I haven’t picked up a WoTC product in years, maybe I’ll check this out. The art is delicious in that 2e old school goodness way.

 

[Parmandur]

Yep Chronepsis, Dragon God of Fate, Judgement, and Death, has his afterlife shown on the map, suggesting as far as Planescape is concerned, his demotion from God to Great Wyrm in FToD never happened. 5e lore contradicts itself again. This time I'm glad because that was a mess.

There is no canon except what is in the core rulebooks, so "contradictions" don't matter as such. Only

It is worth remembering that just because it's on this map, doesn't mean this product will provide much detail. The Rock of Bral map showed tons of stuff that isn't detailed in the book at all, but provides something for a DM to either make something up or reference the DMsGuild 2E material. Don't necessarily expect all of these things to get detailed.
