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.

No, you don't get that calling someone personal religious experiences which are super meaningful to people, hallucinations, which is orders of magnitude more offensive and nasty, then giving fictionalized versions of Jesus and Thor CR. No religious folks confused fictionalized media versions with the real thing, so it's not important compared to actual religious experiences. You dumped on meaningful, rich experiences of religious people with absolute distain, it's one of the most disrespectful things you can do to a religious person.

I make no claims about the capital-t Truth about religious experiences, but the verifiable fact is they are neurologically identical to hallucinatory experiences. Take that as you will.

As to Jesus and Thor, there is exactly the same amount of historical evidence for both.

Well alot of argueing so far.

By you.

As I mentioned the stuff D&D takes from Mythology tends to be heavily altered. Triton one of your examples is not a deity in D&D but a species of fish people with legs.

Asmodeus likewise has very little in common with his depictions in demonology and other things.

Anyways beyond religious erasure, the product has numerous flaws, like mechanics that don't work properly to huge gaps in story logic. Like Rigus generals are at war, but they don't bother saying with who.

Missed opportunity would have been the Rilmani of Dendras and the Fortitude. They raid Faunas for resources , but not full scale war.

It’s stated they are at war with Acheron, invaders come through the portal. Other than that they are nervous and prepared for attacks from the outside.

Acheron is a whole plane of senseless war.

Being referenced doesn’t mean important

Deities & Demigods (1e), Legends & Lore (2e-3e), Manual of the Planes (1e & 3e), Planescape (2e). Need I go on?

Agnostic stuff

I think it’s best not to be confrontational about religion like this.

The original gods of D&D were more important in those books. The Real World gods were more extras, and as mentioned were not very important to the settings.

On topic: the various tables of contents have seemed to indicate this setting and adventure are pretty much limited to Sigil and the Outlands. Do we think that's true? If so, is that sufficient? I personally am suddenly much less interested if "the multiverse" is a city and some wonky villages.
