Chapter 11: Factions & Threats, Part 1 Just as Chapter 10 discussed the world of Planegea, Chapter 11 discusses the more prominent people and individuals within it. Split into two sections of 13 entries each, Factions details organizations of all kinds relevant to adventurers, while Threats...

Keep in mind that what you listed aren't explicit Cleric subclasses but rather areas of influence for the deities. The People and Cultures section is listing well, common cultural aspects of the more prominent groups in the setting. They don't grant spells because, in the context of the setting...

I already covered several of these bits in the review, but since it's quite the number of posts I can answer it here. Basically divine magic, or magic that would be granted by a deity or greater power comes from the Abrahamic deity. Azrael's Guide to the Apocalypse made it so that warlocks can...

Chapter 10: the Primal World This chapter serves as the gazetteer section of the book, where we learn more about the lands of Planegea and the people and creatures that walk it. All that is has an origin point in the Worldheart Dragon who slumbers in the volcanic Blood Mountain. Even...

Planegea had a very well-supported KickStarter campaign with around 3.5 thousands backers, but it is one of those otherwise popular books that just doesn't get a lot of talk in general. It has so much going for it that I'm doing my part to bring awareness of it. Thunder Step does the same...

Chapter 9: Stone Age Adventures This chapter is a diverse assortment of GM tools for creating stories in the setting. It takes a page from many old-school sourcebooks in providing randomly-generated charts and tables in coming up with adventure hooks, pertinent characters and locales, and...

Chapter 6: Backgrounds I’m not sure why the backgrounds chapter has someone conducting a magical ritual in the shadow of a kaiju deer or goat, but the artwork’s cool enough that I’ll take it. While most 5e backgrounds can work in Planegea with some minor changes in terms of starting equipment...

Chapter 4: Kinships This chapter covers the major races of Planegea, albeit they are known as kinships instead of races. Most societies don’t treat species and cultures as being inherently linked, prioritizing banding together for survival. Many clans are made up of different peoples who are...

Drive-Thru RPG Link Although most strongly associated with the feel of medieval times, Dungeons & Dragons is no stranger to settings going for far older or newer eras. From Pharaonic Egypt to Victorian Steampunk, official and third party settings alike created worlds of magic and monsters...

Popularity also references people who played it and general fans, who may not necessarily have bought the adventure but their DM did. This is similarly reflected in the online fan communities I've seen. To use Reddit as one example, the Curse of Strahd subreddit has 82k members, Tomb of...

Based off of the initial concept for Star Trek, this focuses on science fiction centered around a group of interstellar explorers visiting strange new worlds. In some cases it's for research purposes, others to harvest and exploit the resources of other planets, and in some cases settlers...

An interesting thing I've noticed is that products with a strong horror emphasis do very well, both in official and 3rd party spaces. On the official side of things, Curse of Strahd is the most popular of the WotC adventures for this edition by far. And the semi-official DM's Guild has an awful...

You're welcome, and thank you for helping create such a fun sourcebook!

This chapter creates a variety of humanoid dinosauroid creatures who have achieved sapience, using what the authors refer to as speculative biology to map out what processes dinosaurs would go through in order to attain a human-like anatomy. This section includes a new language known as...

The book talked about both of these things, but I didn't include them for reasons of space and choosing what to highlight. Got to leave some things for the readers to find on their own, after all!

I’ve been taking it slow on Christmas and the upcoming New Year’s, so this post may be shorter than others. But progress is progress! This chapter covers dinosaurs created or requested by people who backed a certain Kickstarter tier. Four out of six are real dinosaurs, while two are unique...

We’re in the home stretch! After this post we only have 6 more dinosaurs commissioned by KickStarter pledgers. After that we’ll be done with roughly 2/3rds of this book, being mostly player-facing options such as new races and subclasses. Mosasaurus is an oceanic aquatic predator that was an...

Note: While I plan to edit the prior posts, I did want to address the Player-Facing options for dinosaurs I thought were too high CR to use for Polymorph. The Yutyrannus, Paralititan, Hatzegopteryx, and Deinosuchus. As there are no Beasts in the official rules that go above CR 8, these dinosaurs...

I admit to having made some miscalculations in my understanding of the Polymorph spell. I presumed that the caster's potential Beast forms could be half the target's Challenge Rating or level when in reality it is equal to or lower. This will make me rethink some of the Player-Facing options...
