Thinking back on the Dutch East India Company which is part of my inspiration on this, they were heavily involved with the spice trade and so was the British Empire. There's the irony about Britain going to war over spices, but many British stereotyped as not using spices. So something like...

I guess one theme I haven't thought of yet with the PTC is Gentrification, but Gentrification in Sigil can probably only go so far. I think the way the City is you couldn't fully gentrify The Hive or Undersigil based on how other forces and influences are there. The Lady of Pain herself might...

In my mind the Merkhants who lost their position as an Ascendant Faction (using the 5e term) was primarily because of the PTC's ascension decades ago. The PTC does have colonial ambitions on many worlds, the gate-town Rigus being one of the many places as a staging ground where they will...

When you think about it, wealth is an abstraction. I guess in some ways they could try to "buy" the multiverse or reshape the planes with their wealth. It might be Esteban or a completely original character that's the Centre-Of-All when their plans come in place.

I don't think AAA games of their own properties need to be too family friendly, as those types of games tend to be more out of reach for those below 18. They'll probably go with something that's PG and generally acceptable for 16 year olds. But all things considered, I saw movies like...

So I'm thinking of a theoretical campaign where the Planar Trade Consortium is one of the major conflicts, taking up 1 out of 3 if using the Rule-Of-Three theme. The other 2 might be Sigilian gangsters and the Far Realm's influence. But the conflict with the Planar Trade Consortium would be one...

I assume that many of those new games are going to be in the Unreal Engine given that it's an industry standard, and they're dealing with studios that probably aren't going to try to re-invent the wheel for game engines.

I guess they could try an actual Planescape: Torment sequel, we've already got a "spiritual sequel" in the form of Torment: Tides of Numenera, but maybe it's time for an actual sequel (though not about the Nameless One).

Goliath Rogue, I don't picture them being the stealthy types generally.

As far as previews we had so far, it seems like it's: Uni and the Hunt for the Lost Horn Blink Dog, Bugbear Warrior, Bullywug Warrior, Mage, Sprite, Worg, Warhorse, Bullywug Bog Sage Scions of Elemental Evil Berserker, Cultist, Cultist Fanatic, Fire Elemental, Gray Ooze, Incubus, Knight, Ogre...

We sort have already got some previews with the Scions of Elemental Evil adventure, for the MM which will come out in February. I definitely think big previews will start in January, but I feel smaller previews might be in December after all there's a lot of monsters, and they just need to...

In the 2024 PHB Bards only get proficiency in all simple weapons, and lose proficiency in rapiers and whips. I'm aware that for many Bards they'll probably never bother to use a rapier unless they take one of the subclasses that grant them all weapon proficiencies at 3rd level, but using a...

Someone speculated also that he's an Orc/Elf.

I think it'll happen eventually, at least a more in depth look at all of the planes.

Mount Olympus is mentioned as one of the planar passages in Planescape, I'm guessing it's not mentioned in the DMG because there's already 2 other planar pathways that are associated with Greek Mythology.

Most of the 9 realms are the names of layers or relams on various planes in the Great Ring, where it was probably Jeff Grubb as mentioned in that video who fit them all on various planes. D&D's depiction has been strongly based off of Snorri's interpretation. Many of them are on Ysgard like...

2e Planescape had a bunch of spells to make surviving the planes easier like Avoid Planar Effects, the Breathe ___ spells and Airy Earth (5e hasn't had the core spell Airy Water yet). Avoid Planar Effects was a 1st level and would be a reaction spell in 5e, it was meant to be the "I went through...

I feel Ravenloft is more like Cradle of Filth or Dimmu Borgir, than it is Dark Funeral, Watain or Behemoth, and it's certainly not Cannibal Corpse...

There's also the skull-shaped Citadel Cavitius in the Plane of Ash that once belonged to Vecna.

The Doomguard had a citadel in each of the Negative Quasi-Elemental Planes: The Crumbling Citadel (Ash), Citadel Alluvius (Dust), Citadel Sealt (Salt), and Citadel Exhalus (Vacuum) they're mentioned on Page 43 of Factol's Manifesto and in the book Inner Planes were they're detailed in the...
