    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    I can appreciate that. I'm a visual person myself, I love to see imagined things come to life and have had the good fortune to work with artists in the past for other projects who were able to speak my aesthetic language, as it were. As a writer on this book, I am literally asking that I be...

    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    The former most definitely. While I enjoy the whimsically clockwork version of modrons, my image of them has always been a more Sinister Geometry approach; organic and disturbing, luminous and perfect in a way that mortals cannot help but perceive as alien - just like it would be very disturbing...

    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    Feels like it might have been a subtle allusion to using AI art, which we did not want to do. Personally, I'd love to completely redesign the look of modrons and slaadi, similar to how the rilmani have been recreated for 5E by the official book. Ah, some future day... :unsure:

    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    Appreciate the thought, and as far as purchasing decisions go, I'd rather be up front with potential readers about what is and is not included in the book. The table of contents provides a good look at what it does include. I do quite enjoy inspiring art myself - whether it's old Erol Otus...

    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    Ah, apologies for the lack of clarity. I can confirm that apart from some decorative elements to brighten the pages up, there is no art in the book.

    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    That decision would have to be taken by the team. For my part, I would love to, but I don't know what kind of resources would need to be allocated to that. I can think of a number of things I'd love to see illustrated, including many of the monsters, many of the planes themselves, and some of...

    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    I too bemoan the lack of art, I would have loved to be able to stuff a book full to the gills with it, but sadly it's a tall order financially - especially with the amount of content we have in there. Worthwhile feedback though.

    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    No argument from me there, I did the research for this one the old fashioned way and it was cluttered but satisfying. :D

    Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

    From my work with the sensitivity reader, it was more about triggers related to mental health and associated experiences (temporary alignment changes caused by visits to certain planes are in there, but not frequent), death being a fundamental element of traipsing about the afterlife... if you...

    Thank you for your support, Herremann. We're hoping it continues to go well.

    Teasers out for Legend!

    The Legend system does not cleave to Tolkienesque fantasy as much as some other game systems; we've shared some of the concepts and inspiration, but our goal was to create a system that could be bent to serve any game. The nice thing about Legend is that if our ranger doesn't quite meet your...

    Any new or recent fantasy rpgs released?

    Legend was designed to natively support fantastic steampunk among other genres, but didn't release with the native setting (coming in a later supplement) and is class-based. It may still be worth a look, if only for the easily-scaled power level and flexibility, but I don't know that it's what...

    Teasers out for Legend!

    Yes, we're aware of that. We debated a rebrand, but we've been running with the name for over a year and felt it would have done more harm than good. The two products are substantially different, however, so we think it'll be pretty safe to move ahead with it.

    Teasers out for Legend!

    Yes - apparently the reviewer just wanted to make the "honkeys" joke. Came back to bite him a few times. Like a mule. Also, thank you for fixing the link.
