I love weird stuff in my games, and especially my PCs! This looks right up my alley. Backed and looking forward to it!

Nothing will come of it. It’s a promotional poster for a single event, so the most Paizo would do is send a cease-and-desist and Paramount will say “Sure” because they were already planning on not using it beyond this. At most, they’ll take it down so it’s no there the rest of the con. It was...

Yep, in the video Crawford outright says something to the effect of "there are multiple things bubbling away that we decided to lump together for this UA" which is about as blatant as he gets in confirming any sort of unannounced projects. So this is definitely from at least 2, or more likely 3...

I’ll second this. Purely anecdotal memory, but it sure seemed like Planescape was even more polarizing than Spelljammer’s more silly aspects. At the time, middle ground opinions on it were pretty much unheard of.

Yes, I was going to say much the same thing! Considering most of these settings didn’t exist for the majority of this timeframe there’s really very little useful information you can pull out of this graph on its own. (Maybe in combination with the other graphs, but that still would need to...

Awesome setting! Although quick note to give credit where credit is due: Greg Dent and Todd Morasch were the main creative force behind that setting. But Jim definitely added to it as well and was the business mind that published a successful product line out of it and one of the only novels for...

I remember working with him back in those early years first when he was running WotC's Official Fan Site program (I co-ran the Planescape one) and then doing lots of freelance for Bastion Press over the years. He is a really great guy from my experiences, and I definitely learned a ton about...

Exactly! And the quality of the maps with these are one of the things that really sold me on them. They are the highest quality and most durable RPG maps I've ever come across. I'm not sure if I'll ever run Frostmaiden, but I've used the materials from the set several times already in other...

Hopefully not getting too tangential, but speaking of analogous cities, personally, I'd love an updated Sigil that is more New Orleans than Victorian London with planar creole replacing planar cant.

Yep, plus it's interesting that Planescape is a setting where the geography is literally shaped by alignment, yet the setting products actually de-emphasize alignment by showing how morality is really a lot more complicated and open to multiple interpretations than that. And on the practical...

As a HUGE Planescape and worldspanning adventure fan, I am extremely excited about this! As much as I really hope for some of the classic settings to return, I have been really hoping to see more new stuff and this is perfect for me. One thing I find really interesting about it is that it...

I'm getting ready to start this adventure with my family and have this set. It is really amazing! It is expensive, but with everything that it comes with (including a code for the book on D&D Beyond with the Platinum set), it really is worth it. Every single item is high quality construction...

The actual common refrain that has been told to me by multiple publishers over the past couple decades is "The best way to make a small fortune in RPGs is to start with a large fortune." which has a rather different meaning. ;)

This is getting off topic, but personally I'm done listening to anyone who spouts inaccurate revisionist history like this. ;)

Hurm... wish the PDF was for sale separately. I'm getting the Beadle & Grimm version in a couple weeks, but it would be nice to have a digital copy since they are so handy (and apparently this one is niiiiice. ;)

Yep, but it's not even a guess - they said so way back in the original announcement. It's the same printing/supply chain issues that caused them to release a "gift set" in late January, rather than back in November (like they did with their last gift set) when massive numbers of people go gift...

You might not be far off. Considering in his failed run for office, Justin LaNasa's top donor was Justin Lavasa...

Hey, do you know much bikini wrestling in grits for promotions cost?! It's not cheap! "TSR: Grifting for grits"

And as became pretty clear with UA releases, the DDB programmers were finding out the requirements the same time as the public. I can't imagine the stress of UA-Mondays at DDB waiting to find out what they would have 5 business days to deliver - on top of working on their actual core product...

(Mods feel free to delete my reply here. On second thought, it was too snarky to really add anything to the conversation. Others pointed out how wrong the comment I was replying to is better than me. Thanks!)
