Beyond Countless Doorways: "Unofficial Planescape" ?

[Pants]

I'm not sure what the whole deal is with the PS license, whether WotC won't let anyone get their claws on it or if Malhavoc didn't even try, but I'd much rather like a book that IS Planescape rather than 'like Planescape' if you get my drift. Although the fact that it is modular is a pretty cool aspect.

Pants,

As I have said in other threads in the past, WotC wants ALOT for the PS License - when I became the webmaster for the Official site (I started Planewalker.com for those that don't know it), I asked them how much it would be to buy the license and actually produce material. The number was staggering - and that was "just to come to the table"! Undoubtedly, the success of Planescape: Torment added significantly to the value of the product line, and I doubt that many D20 companies could afford the license, even if they wanted it.

That last bit (about the projected finances of most D20 companies) is totally subjective and is just my two greens, however....

Yes but it's your greens that were involved Brannon so it's all good. Uhm sort of.

My precious.....filthy hobbitses! MY PRECIOUS!

I think I'll pass on this one. Not interested in resurrecting that "setting", not interested in seeing that god-awful art again, not interested in alternate cosmologies. Instead, I'm much more looking forward to the Planar Handbook.

 

[Nightfall]

I think BOTH can be of use. Besides it's not ALL crappy art!

Just for the fact the the original authors of PS are working on a "PS like" book fills my heart with joy this holiday season and empties my pockets. If it sells well WoTC will want to reap some benefits from this and hopefully release a 3.5 official Planescape, and once again empty my pockets.

 

[Nightfall]

Well I imagine some of us would Tael, and some wouldn't. But yeah a return of 3.5 Planescape can only be a good thing IMHO.

I liked Planescape, but I'm not sure I'm interested. However, if they bring back the para and quasi elemental planes, I'll definitely scoop it up.

 

[Nightfall]

Yeah quasi and para-elementals RULE! I was happy to see them in Tome of Horrors and MotP
