D&D 5E Check Out Planescape's Table of Contents & More!

Brandes Stoddard has received a copy of Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse (which come out in two weeks!) and is posting loads of photos over on Blue Sky. You can check out his feed for the whole treasure trove--here's a look at the table of contents.

They have changed their minds since Eberron on how to handle settings. It's a big part of why I'm mostly done with WotC, as settings are all they have to offer me (for obvious legal reasons). Less is...less I guess?

I don't think there is any reason to believe they won't do a Big Fat Setting Book again. They are obviously still doing their regular adventure formats.

Is that why the Dustmen had their name changed? [emoji2357]

Well "dustman" means "garbage collector" in Britain, which does hurt their gravitas quite a bit...

First, techincally(and technically is called the best kind of correct for a reason), they are a part of the outlands. In actuality they are 90%+ the neighboring plane because of the amount of influence there.

Second, please quote me saying that there is no material on the outer planes, because that's a substantial mischaracterization of what I have said from my first post here. What there is, is not nearly enough to go on. 4 pages on the general outlands, 2 of which cover EIGHTEEN realms, and a bunch of gate towns that while they are technically in the outlands, are mostly the neighboring plane and not the outlands. And I see nothing on the other planes in the table of contents.

Third, False Dichotomies are as usual, false. I reject your "which is it" that so badly mischaracterizes what I've been saying and go with the different option that has been my stance here.

The outlands gets two whole pages and none of the other planes get any.

I was vainly hoping they would ADD worthwhile new material without changing the old. I've been over this many times.

They did, all the Gatetowns did not get detailed in the original.

I never knew that, but nicknaming them garbage collectors totally fits.

Aoet of.depends on how these are received in the medium term, I suppose.

For certain. Super important that they get THAT right.

Heralds of Dust is a better name for a group. Dustmen sounds more a like an in universe nickname.

I am personally betting on a Big Fat Realms Campaign Setting book in the relatively near future.

I actually think the slip case format would work well for any new campaign settings they come up with, especially if they went with player facing book, GM setting guide, and adventure. "Here is this cool new world we have created AND an adventure to let you know what you are supposed to get up to there."

Your parameters are so narrow that no matter what they did, you can find a reason to justify your ongoing discontent with Wizards.

Honestly, "Heralds of Dust" sounds far more metal than "Dustmen".
