So they are Gargantuan, but formless, but from the part we can see, can they choose to take on forms, like shape Shifters? Are Planar Incarnates more Avatars of Planes? Do they still possess other creatures?

How big were the Major Incarnates in 2e? This seems like the successor to Major Incarnates, but different. Can they be combined with Planar Traits like Limbo's or Mechanus?

A giant Tardigrade shows up for picnic in the Beastlands

A giant tardigrade walks into a bar.

"What's your poison?" asks the barkeeper.

The giant tardigrade walks out again.

I’m so excited for this book, the art is amazing!

 

[Micah Sweet]

Is anyone excited about this book for any reason other than the art?

I was not expecting the rilmani to look like that, but I am a huge fan for sure!!

It's better than how they looked in 3e, as I didn't really like the naked, malformed hairless things that they were then. And while it was Tony DiTerlizzi that originally drew what they looked like, they looked more like Klingons but in DiTerlizzi's style.

I guess here they're emphasizing the metal/alchemy part.

There have been plenty of posts on the creatures in the book.

We're getting lots of posts on the art as that is what is being posted and also because the art is very nice.

Well, since I don't care about the art, and am planning on buying the monsters separately anyway...

When I saw Rilmani, Archon, and Guardinals, it almost sold me. Then I realized they only included 3 of each, and I was unsold. I've just had as much as I'm interested in dealing with of the gradual rollout (often never completed) of creatures that were originally presented as full sets in 2e.

For those not as picky as me, at least there are also 3 demodands/gehreleths, and that is their full set.

Discovery/Ant Man

In Tony DiTerlizzi's Wondla series, the protagonist rides a giant tardigrade in the first book. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a reference to that.

The selection of monsters seems solid/interesting, with some good throw backs.
The Gatetowns, the mention of Alignment based 'forces' in some of the descriptions.

Its going to take a look/reading, to see if the text betrays the correct tone, but so far from what we have seen, its hard to fault too much.
