    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    I will weigh in on this once and once only, as I am deeply frustrated with everything happening. I assume WhatLiesBeyond meant that there was no written contract delegating authority to Andrew Welker to make creative decisions unilaterally, dictate promotion and press activity, or add and...

    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    Apologies, I wish I had better news, but... well, I was looking forward to providing the update and seeing the POD released, the situation changed, and I was no longer interested in contributing to the planned update. I'm sure we all have our own opinions about matters and I'm disappointed that...

    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    Not that I am aware of, but as noted, I'm not involved in any updates to the original file any longer. I have no idea what will be adjusted, or how, or when. I don't expect that will be altered.

    In fairness that comment was from back in October.

    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    I still hope to see a full review of it at some point. ;) Everyone's support is appreciated, it was definitely a thing worth making and I hope it inspires a new generation of players and DMs to do some creative and unexpected things on the Planes. I wish the print-on-demand was available, I'm...

    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    As I am no longer participating in the planned update, I've decided to provide the completed material I had intended to contribute to it free of charge here. It's not much but I hope you all enjoy.

    D&D 5E Enhancing Vecna: Eve of Ruin *SPOILERS*

    Cause somehow we've reverted to pretty = good, or what have you. :cautious:

    D&D 5E Enhancing Vecna: Eve of Ruin *SPOILERS*

    This, so much. The casino adventure in particular felt like a similar futile and irritating casino detour during a time-critical galactic conflict from a popular film series. "Let's do an homage to that thing nobody liked!" is not exactly my first thought when putting a storyline together. :p

    D&D 5E Enhancing Vecna: Eve of Ruin *SPOILERS*

    Any sense of what broad genre of goal you're looking toward? I know you read MotP5E, you could take the notion we laid down in that with Lord Sortlyn's presence and elaborate on there being some kind of "outside" that Vecna wishes to reach - the "Final Secret" that would allow him to not rewrite...

    D&D 5E Enhancing Vecna: Eve of Ruin *SPOILERS*

    I'm contemplating actually trying to do something with it, but off the cuff I'd say: • Vecna having another cosmic slapfight with Kas feels a bit silly to me. • Vecna recruiting Lolth feels uncharacteristic for both of them. No on that. • The Rod of Seven Parts, would ditch that too. • As much...

    D&D 5E Enhancing Vecna: Eve of Ruin *SPOILERS*

    Having gone through this module... I can appreciate wanting to enhance it, but I think I'd take it straight back to the drawing board, and I already know what I'd do...

    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    Well, after hinting at it for a while, I'm pleased to finally be able to share some important news! There's changes coming. Big changes. We're going to make a major update to the book and wanted to wait until that update was ready before launching the print version. Here's some of the changes...

    I'm so sorry to hear that. Nobody should ever have to go through that. Sorry for your loss, and apologies for pinging you back for something so trivial. I hope you and your loved ones have the time and space to grieve as you need.
