I imagine that’s the Us. Edit: Or it could be Many-As-One. Forgot about them for a minute.

I mean, both Perkins and Crawford have referred to this as an “evergreen edition”. It wouldn’t surprise me if that was a design goal from on high - the rules of games Hasbro owns don’t typically change.

But it’s triple filtered through Herkimer diamonds! Speaking as someone who bought a bottle when Ackroyd first released the stuff, I can confirm - it does come in a cool bottle.

Given that the production timeline for a official D&D book is well over a year, I suspect it’s entirely possible that by the time they realized that Spelljammer was poorly received, Planescape was too far along to make major changes to - I recall a YouTube video where Perkins was tripping over...

I suppose they’ll have to - you can’t build up to [the reveal that involves a tattoo] if you have more than one party member.

I mean, on one hand PS:T is an incredible game - a personal all time favorite, and a great source of locations and NPCs. On the other hand, I’ve already played it through. Several times.

To quote a recent blogpost from RPGBot: I have to admit, I never guessed they would just take the plot of "Planescape: Torment" and write it up as a 5e adventure.

Well that's a derp on my part. Hooray for reading comprehension, I suppose. Yeah, it really drives home that the RPG space is more or less two industries - 'D&D' and 'Everything Else'. Any other publisher would love to have the numbers of the least-successful D&D product. Did Spelljammer...

The 'Roll for Combat' guys took a look at a percentage of the sales numbers for a number of D&D products the other day, and noted a pretty precipitous dropoff in sales of the Spelljammer set - selling about 47k copies in the first four weeks, about 56k in the first eight, and about 84k in the...

I’m currently playing a shifter path of the beast barbarian. He… hits pretty dang hard, even if it is a very bonus-action-heavy character.

Is there actual evidence of that? I’d say people around here generally talk about Strixhaven and Spelljammer as being disappointing, but I don’t believe I’ve seen any sales figures. If the lead time for a first party D&D book is a year plus, it could be some real time for them to react to market...

Quite a bit of it, yes.

Please do!

I kind of hope it’s Greyhawk, but I’d guess Mystara would have a fighting chance.

Eh, I mean - I understand the impulse. 5e has had a habit of touching on worlds and concepts, and then (with one or two specific counterexamples) never touching them again. I don't think anyone is holding their breath for another Eberron or Dragonlance book.

Double checking the 5e DMG (p.68), there's no mention of neither the factions nor the three letter agencies from the 3.5e DMG - I'm personally hoping you're correct. The depiction of Factol Guildmaster Rhys from Tashas also points in that direction.

I dunno - I don't know how hot a take this is, but for me? If it doesn't have the factions, it's not really Planescape. 'Manual of the Planes' has always been a generic D&D book, rather than the specific campaign setting that Planescape was.

Wasn't the MM the first AD&D book to come out?

As a DM, I very much care if the monsters are cool enough to spend money on. ;)
