[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8975928, member: 18"] I mean, you can't treat Planescape worse than 4E and 3E did, but will this revitalize it? Having DiTerlizzi art is a huge good sign, for sure, because it illustrates at least basic understanding of Planescape and what made it cool. Especially as that colour palette is super-Planescape-y, which suggests to me the visual design in the books will be at least on-point. But if they do the same format as Spelljammer, it's not going to revitalize anything at all! 64 pages of rules & setting gives room for nothing (esp. given they'll likely have multiple races, tons of feats, spells, etc.), 64 pages of monsters, and 64 pages of "maybe run it once" adventure is not how you "revitalize" a setting. If they're divided up differently - i.e. 64 pages setting, 64 pages rules & maybe v.short adventure, 64 bestiary we might see a small chance of them actually doing something cool. And if they don't stick to the idiotic 64-page approach (but I think they will as it has to be cheaper to keep doing it), but go longer with the setting part, I think there's a chance. However, until I hear specifically otherwise, all information says this is going to be the Spelljammer format - so at best we'll have a pretty-but-worthless product for collectors, that doesn't actually present a playable setting, doesn't "do justice" to Planescape or Sigil, and so on. So my hopes remain low despite this welcome news. EDIT - To be clear I am 100% Tsundere about this. Like, I am utterly praying that this is a great product and all my attitude and negativity is shown to be completely dumb. I wanna look like dumbest least-Cassandra person on the planet. Because I love this piece. I love how his art style developed. But I'm so doubtful. [/QUOTE]
