I voted 8. The highlights for me are the better organisation overall, most of the changes in the classes, the monster manual (almost all of it; these monsters are simply better for me, less complicated to run, less complicated to choose, better as threats, more diverse; simply better) , the new...

There's a solid fanbase already established. It won't get to DnD's or even Pathfinder's or Daggerheart's highs, but it will flourish all right.

City of Mist is a super hero game, kinda (and in my opinion their best game), you should take a closer look. There's a free sample somewhere on their website. It's the "ordinary people, extraordinary powers" vibe, and it's awesome.

Yeah, it's really not like Daggerheart. The only thing in common may be the spotlight mechanism, common in PbtAs: the npcs don't have any turns, they act in between spotlight to pose threats, and only inflict consequences when their threats are ignored or in case of a miss or a mixed success...

I've run City of Mist, extensively. It was a previous iteration of the Mist engine, very close to what LitM is, and I have followed LitM's developpement very closely. It's a great game, with a very solid gameplay loop and a stellar character evolution (about the same as CoM's). It has strayed...

I found the existing alt covers drop dead gorgeous, frankly. I wouldn't say they miss the mark on these ones (and the market seems to agree). These ones are a total success too, though. Distinct, singular but unmistakably dungeony. I'm sold.

That's not AI art, at all. It's very strange to suggest it, in fact. (It's Valindra, by the way, a lich elf.)

You're kinda describing the Mist engine in Son of Oak's game, City of Mist, Otherscape and Legend in the Mist. The last one in particular may be to your liking, as it is the "fantasy version" of the Mist engine (City of Mist is urban fantasy, "ordinary people with supernatural powers", and...

P. 236, a big bold title : One Spell with a Spell Slot per Turn On a turn, you can expend only one spell slot to cast a spell. This rule means you can't, for example, cast a spell with a spell slot using the Magic action and another one using a Bonus Action on the same turn. So there's no rule...

Blades in the Dark (Forged in the dark games) Dream Apart/Dream Askew (Belonging outside belonging games) For the Queen (descending from the Queen games) Brindlewood Bay (Carved from Brindlewood games)

Oh, totally agreed. The Planes of... in pdf, despite the unusable maps and the degraded quality, constitue a very solid and complete set for any planar shenanigans. As I was saying in my first post here, they are quite hard to beat in this regard. I was specifically making the comparison...

It's true, but the DM's Guide to the planes in the original box set was pretty slim in this regard and not really usable by itself (hence, the three other Planes of boxes). If you need it, the information you'll find in there are more or less exactly the same as in the DMG 24, minus the...

If you need a big city hub and like to play in a sand-boxy style, I'd advise for the new box-set + Faces of Sigil (pdf on DT). With that you'll have the city part covered, plus ton of things to do in the Outlands (more than with the original box set). I have read Planebreaker but don't consider...

The new box set is a very good synthesis, it's better than the original one, though obviously less detailed than the four boxes combo. Of all the old supplements, I'd say the best source books are Faces of Sigil (one of the best rpg book I've ever read and used) and In the Cage for Sigil...

I find the art in the DMG to be absolutely top-notch. The PHB I would agree it's a bit on the meh-side. Each individual piece is good, sometimes really good, but never very distinctive in style, as if their subject was the only thing mattering and "generic fantasy art" a good-enough style. But...

Metropolis. It's to evoke the Fritz Lang movie Metropolis. Like this warforged redesign, especially on the alt-cover.
