They're obviously going for the "remix" approach rather than a direct continuation from Faction War. A bit annoying for those of us that actually find the post-Faction War setup compelling, but on the whole, probably far easier for newcomers to the setting if/when they delve into the older...

Jeremo the Natterer approves.

They were previously affiliated with the Negative-Quasi-Elemental Planes (Ash, Dust, Salt, and Vacuum), so moving it to the Elemental Chaos isn't that big of a change conceptually, given the current version of Inner Planar cosmology.

The Revolutionary League and Xaositects didn't provide much of a service to the city beyond keeping everyone else on their toes, but I would argue the Free League provided a lot of services, particularly for less ideologically minded merchants and businessmen in the Market Ward, just not in an...

Seem to be mostly classic factions actually, with a couple of name changes. The Athar, Bleak Cabal, Doomguard, Fated, Fraternity of Order, Harmonium, Mercykillers, Society of Sensation, and Transcendent Order are all classic Planescape Factions, up to and including seemingly having their...

Very similar, but diabolical elevator music comes with an EULA woven in (spoken in a voice outside the range of most mortal hearing) making it clear that by continuing to listen, you have agreed to forfeit your soul and all negotiation beyond that point is just a matter of seeing what else they...

Based on a preview picture they released during GenCon, certainly. Text is a bit small, but absolutely legible at full size.

A smiling arcanaloth will be with you shortly to discuss your case. Please hold. Begins playing diabolical elevator music

Why am I sick when there's Planescape info to gush over? T__T

That's...fair, I suppose. Stripped of any and all possible nuance, but at its core, that is not a wholly inaccurate way to look at it, especially in regards to the Vulkoori.

There are no less than three main drow cultures in Xen'drik - and as the continent is very much treated as an largely unexplored land of mystery from the perspective of Khorvaire, almost certainly more. Both the Sulatar and Umbragen have magical traditions on par with, if not surpassing, those...

No matriarchies to speak of, or at least none that spring to mind - certainly none among the drow. No patriarchies either, for that matter. Generally tends to be fairly egalitarian.

Obligatory gesture to Eberron, where the drow have none of the traditional drow baggage

As a general heads up, the Where Evil Lives! pdf is now live on BackerKit.

MCDM put out a tweet (or whatever we call those things now) a couple of days ago saying that ~15000 Flee Mortals hardcovers were currently making their way through the packing and shipping process. Haven't got an email for mine yet, but I imagine its just a matter of time for all involved.

Chris Perkins has supposedly been trying to make a Mind Flayer-centric adventure module happen for years, going back to 4e at least, if I recall. I'd imagine there probably wasn't any single factor that inspired Shattered Obelisk, but rather several.

Four, actually - a 32-page Player's Guide, a 64-page DM's Guide to the Planes (with ~15 and ~25 pages devoted to the Inner and Outer Planes, respectively), a 96-page Sigil and Beyond book (which includes the Outlands), and a 32-page Monstrous Supplement.

Khoravar "breeding true" in Eberron just means that the child of two Khoravar is likely to also be a Khoravar - they are a population that is capable of sustaining their numbers without needing a constant influx of new first-generation Khoravar to do so. It says nothing about the child of a...

Eh, I love alignment as much as the next guy - honestly, probably a fair bit more than most - but there's just as much if not more that they can do with Faction-based philosophical/ideological conflict that doesn't require them to shoehorn everything into the alignment framework by default...

The DiTerlizzi art's great - the only complaint I have is that it's (seemingly) limited to the DM screen, with the book covers and box art pulling from isolated elements of that image, rather than getting him to illustrate multiple distinct pieces throughout, but that's not a complaint against...
