    D&D 5E Monte Cook Games Announces "Path of the Planebreaker" for 5E

    We rarely get super specific on launches (Kickstarter, products, etc.), not because we like to make people's lives hard or keep them guessing, but because every so often you get bit in the butt by a factor outside your control. It will be in the back half of the month. Sorry I can't be more exact!

    D&D 5E Monte Cook Games Announces "Path of the Planebreaker" for 5E

    Do you mean: Do we have a more detailed description of the book's contents than what's in the announcement? No, that'll all roll out in the Kickstarter itself later this month. If you have specific questions, though, feel free to post them--I'll answer what I can.

    D&D 5E Monte Cook Games Announces "Path of the Planebreaker" for 5E

    You got it! I suspect that anyone who loved Planescape will also really dig Planebreaker--obviously the subject matter is similar in many regards, as is the breadth of play it opens up. But it's definitely its own thing.

    D&D 5E Monte Cook Games Announces "Path of the Planebreaker" for 5E

    To be clear: Planebreaker is NOT Planescape.

    Dragon Reflections #46

    I remember The Temple of Poseidon! It was basically a step into the Cthulhu mythos, slightly reskinned with classical mythology. This was well before we saw the mythos introduced to D&D in Deities and Demigods, if my memory serves.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – The Darkest House, HC SVNT DRACONES 2.0, Cerebox, and more

    The Kickstarter for The Darkest House is on fire, but I'm sad for the many thousands of gamers who haven't yet discovered it. If that's you, WATCH THIS SHORT VIDEO. And try the demo (http://mymcg.info/thedarkesthouse). If you aren't impressed, I'll eat my hat*. Hurry--the Kickstarter ends...

    Monte Cook Games' Darkest House Is Designed For Online Play

    Hey, all Charles from MCG here. I'm happy to answer any questions you have about TDH, to the best of my ability. Or about anything else for that matter, I guess. Mistwell and Whizbang (go Hokies!): I think you're dramatically underestimating the amount of content in The Darkest House. If you...

    D&D 5E Monte Cook's Ptolus Kickstarter Has Launched

    We're going to deliver the 2100 pages of existing content within a few weeks--so if you're housebound and looking for a great read, it's a fantastic deal. That includes the original 3e version, so you can really explore the setting and start planning your campaign!

    Numenera?

    Hey, George, Charles Ryan from MCG here. You've basically gotten good advice from others in this thread. The Character Options books were almost entirely rolled into and made redundant by the new corebooks (Discovery and Destiny), so we've let them go out of print. The Player's Guide is...

    D&D 3E/3.5 What's your favorite Ptolus memory?

    Erm. Man, too long ago. I don't remember the name. It was a one-shot, though, and I think most of the players weren't the regulars despite the fact that it was set concurrent to (I think) the actions of the two campaign groups. (That's one of the cool things about Ptolus, I think: As an...

    D&D 3E/3.5 What's your favorite Ptolus memory?

    Unlike Sean, I didn't get to play in the original Ptolus campaign (Monte launched it a couple of years before I joined WotC and moved to the area). Instead, I got to hear about it all the time--I shared an office with Andy Collins, I worked with Michele Carter, Chris Perkins was my boss, I was...

    D&D 5E Monte Cook's Ptolus Kickstarter Has Launched

    Worth pointing out that almost all the backer levels include the entire collection of existing Ptolus products. 27 titles, 2100 pages, $250+ value. That includes the original Ptolus PDF, but even if you already have that, the rest of the package is a remarkable deal. And you get it all shortly...
