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.

No, but the MCU isn't Wizards, and unless they have the stones to let me roll up on Jesus as a CE Barbarian to discuss things, they shouldnt use someone elses religion in the same way.

And we both know, they dont have it in them to be like 'Heres the stat block for Christ, have fun all!'.

We'd have to get rid of elves, dwarves, hydras, dragons, undead, magic, miracles, spirits, afterlives.... basically everything.

I suppose taken to a logical extreme, yes.

No, you're right, Wizards definitely doesn't have the stones.

I always assumed the monotheistic God was in the seventh Heaven, and nothing in the books contradicted that.

A probable answer. I don't need it stated though, any more than Greek, Egyptian, Hindu or otherwise. There's plenty of scope for a fantasy pantheon with some serial numbers filed off.

Most of it is at least interesting. Nothing anyone does is perfect. There is more than enough inspiration here.

I like the idea of the adventure quite a bit, as it is very different than most adventures.

The monsters are WotC monsters, if you are expecting something different, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

The overview book is fine in spots, good in spots, quite good in spots. I'm glad there is some slang, but not ALL SLANG.

I agree with you on the lack of annoying slang, although maybe they should have toned it down and made it less rude the get rid of it completely.

The adventure I have only slightly explored, but it should have been a separate product.

I'm curious! What's the story with the rilmani? I know the art went a sort of spirit-construct look, but has their ecology or identity changed too?

I haven't fully looked at the Rilmani, but Denadra is actually a huge Rilmani city built into a huge crack on the Spire. Also while the importance of the Spire's antimagic effect is greatly reduced (just patches around the Spire itself with most locations, not just Gatetowns) not interacting with it, the Rilmani are immune to the anti magic effect entirely. Those patches still turn Gods into Mortals, so I don't get why the Athar aren't more interested in the Outlands then the Astral Planes.

I agree on the slang...and, glad we can politely disagree overall. thanks,

meh. It really doesn't matter to more than a handful of tables, but using "real" gods isn't worth it. Seriously.

It's a huge part of the settings flavour, Micah is absolutely right, they gutted alot of the flavour out of the setting, and there is no point to it because it's utterly inconsistant making it pointless and embarrassing.

Two Norse Gods mention, more if you count the Norns. Hades is both Plane and God. Elysium is the Greek afterlife, as is Hades and Tartarus. Ma'at is both a spiritual concept and a Goddess in Egyptian religion o, Olympus is part of Aborea's name. Greek, Egyptian, and Norse finger prints all over the setting, so this weird thing they did just looks weird. And doesn't explain why they wrecked the Seldarine's temple in Sylvania. Oh and Olympus is literally the symbol for Aborea on the map.[/HR]
