Traditionally, Planescape covers the Outer Planes, Inner (Elemental) Planes, and Transitive (Astral/Ethereal) Planes - at the very least, they made Planescape books about each back in 2e, though the Outer Planes understandably got the bulk of the material. Presumably, that would also cover the...

Even earlier. 5e Planescape had a paid supplement on Beyond about Sigil's Mortuary, which also does a decent job at covering its resident faction, the Dustmen Heralds of Dust. Honestly rather liked it. Hope they eventually do more, covering Sigil's other major factions and their respective...

Been a planar lore junkie since the 3.5e days with a particular emphasis on Baator and infernal politics, and... Yeah, trying to square 5e's version of Zariel with the version from 2e is a pain in the rear. Personally, I opt to split them into two separate characters: The 2e Zariel that fell...

The invention of the printing press hasn't stopped people from reinventing and reinterpreting stories in the decades and centuries after they were first printed, nor has it stopped stories from utterly disappearing when they fall out of the public consciousness to the point that people stop...

I am by no means opposed to trying new things, exploring new worlds, telling new stories, etc., but we are a species of storytellers and we've been creating new/updated takes on old stories and gradually figuring out how/if to work them into the collective consciousness for millennia. We may be...

Well that settles that. Glad they seem to be willing to take crack at Dark Sun again. I always felt that the lack of robust support for psionics was the biggest barrier to a 5e Dark Sun revival, so between various existing psionic options migrating to the core PHB and the recent Psion playtest...

Not Cranium Rats - no exposed brain, and they're mostly a planar/Sigil thing. Moon Rats, perhaps? I don't recall much about them, but I think they were in one of the 3e/3.5e Monster Manuals...

Let me rephrase: I think there's a decent market for D&D to put out an East Asian inspired setting book, more in-depth than the micro-settings from Radiant Citadel. The fact that Kara-Tur exists as the Forgotten Realms' East Asia analogue and they've continued to reference it as such...

They just released an original Japanese language adventure called Oni's Right Hand with pregen characters that explicitly come from Kara-Tur (though the adventure itself is set in Phadalin, as I understand it). Not conclusive, by any means, but if they're going to use Kara-Tur as a place of...

The new PDK subclass didn't make it in, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the new take on the Purple Dragon Knights as an in-universe organization was tossed out as well - at the very least, some of the art @GarrettKP posted from GenCon seems to indicate that they're still working in...

I've never been much of an FR-lore enthusiast, so I have no real issue with a new version of the Purple Dragon Knights as a knightly order that form pacts with amethyst dragons. My biggest complaint against the playtest PDK was always that it was way too locked into a very specific type of...

Hope they take another crack at a "Dragonriding Knight" subclass at some point. I've never been an FR-lore aficionado, so my biggest complaint about the playtest PDK subclass was that it was too locked into one very specific type of dragon, when I feel it should have been more customizable, a...

Jester is an absolute menace... I've missed her. Been too long since I've watched Campaign 2.

Frustrating, but understandable.
