Thanks! As much as we try, especially with something this big, tpyos will sneak in. As much as many people would like a POD version sooner rather than later, this is one of the reasons why it's handy to wait. So far I don't think there's been anything too egregious or game mechanic altering that...

Like Fro said, we did not work directly with WotC on this. Waaaay back when Jim Butler ran the Official Setting Fan Site program for WotC, Planewalker got early access to a couple books, but that was 20 years ago. I haven't had direct contact like that with WotC since back then. So far I've...

I was just typing a reply and got ninja'ed. However, you missed the Exiled Modron. It's entry doesn't start at the top of a page column.

Yes, it is wildly dysfunctional. But, sorry, it is also really likely and the norm for large corporations and having worked in multiple businesses of different sizes, am zero percent surprised by this. It's so common, it's practically a cliche that as corporations become successful and grow...

Exactly. It still "exists" in the sense of the domain still points to a website with content, but it's effectively been in stasis for a long time. I'm afraid the current owner(s) are just paying hosting & domain name bills and aren't even really online much at all even. One of the too many...

Quick fix - at the bottom of the page, the link to the compatibility logo doesn't work. It points to "new-page" rather than "compatibility-logo". Thanks for doing this and supporting open gaming!! I am looking forward to making some products that work with it.

Yes, there are art packs, but the quality is mixed, at best, with a lot of very poorly cropped and very hit and miss on usefulness. Plus they released the art packs almost 8 years ago with the launch of DMs Guild and I don't believe have added any since. So at this point, if you manage to...

Yeah, our ethical views are one thing (personally I’m very strongly against, but I’m only one of several people on the team), but more practically, it is a highly risky business plan to use it with a very high chance of massive negative PR. Even my ethics aside, it’s not a business move I would...

Apologies for presuming otherwise! But probably good to clarify anyway since many aren’t aware of the licensing peculiarities of DMs Guild vs DTRPG. shrug

I certainly wish! If there would be interest in a planar book with a different title and an entirely different set of planes and monsters, no Sigil or Factions, using basically nothing from Planescape at all, then I’m down to do it!! Unfortunately, I think the audience is there for THESE planes...

Another restriction of DMs Guild, unfortunately. Maaaaaaaybe like you said as a separate art book, but that’s walking a veeery fine line getting art for, say, a multi-armed construct that is not a quinton but would just conveniently work well as art for a quinton makes it easy to cross the line...

DMs Guild only. It uses (a TON of) protected WotC IP, so it is only legally allowed on DMs Guild.

They are 12 new subtypes linked to the Elemental Chaos, specifically the quasielemental and paraelemental planes regions. We circled around a lot on a single adjective to describe things linked to the Elemental Chaos, and eventually "primordial" was settled upon as not everyone's favorite...

To be fair, they did call it "amazing" before saying we wrote it in 3 weeks. So I don't think the intent was to belittle. ;) But, either way, to be clear, we did spend a wee bit longer than 3 weeks on it. (If you want a peak behind the curtain, I was brought on in late May, and others had...

There was a lot of work put into this beyond even the writing itself - with researching planar material from every D&D edition, cat herding coordinating this wacky team, hours of debate on the nature and theme of each plane, even more hours of debate on balancing old lore with new lore...

And as one of the people who worked on this Manual of the Planes, I am extremely curious to hear honest opinions of what people like and don't like with it! With a fully digital release having no page count limit and not including a campaign-sized adventure, there are certainly things we could...

Yeah, it is amazing how so many either have forgotten or are too new to the game to know what content release schedules were like in past editions. I remember when 5e launched how strange and risky it seemed that they wouldn't be releasing new content every single month, let alone only releasing...

Considering how heavy-handed their language was in the first version of the article, this retraction is pretty funny.

I believe they meant as a customer. As a customer, someday DDB will indeed go away. As someone who has been reading through 20-30 year old copies of my D&D books for ideas and fun, despite exclusively using DDB for my 5e books, I am purchasing physical copies to make sure I still have them...

Except the OP in that thread was incorrect. Amazon numbers are included in BookScan, at least for most years (I think they got finicky a couple times over feeling it was being too revealing, but overall Amazon is indeed included in that 1.6 million sales.)
