D&D 5E Check Out Planescape's Table of Contents & More!

Brandes Stoddard has received a copy of Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse (which come out in two weeks!) and is posting loads of photos over on Blue Sky. You can check out his feed for the whole treasure trove--here's a look at the table of contents.

I don't think you could do that in Kickstarter, wouldn't have to be on DMsGuild.

FYI, there are already such products on DMsGuild

I mean, honestly, most of the original Planescape line is on the DMs Guild. Take out the 2e stuff, and probably 80% of it perfectly usable now, once this set updates mechanics for 5e. It just depends on how much today's young players will go along with the line's '90s idiosyncrasies...

New update in the OP.

The art in this thing is really great.

I was about to say that the four new pieces, like much of the rest, are very evocative.

I don't think there is any reason to believe they won't do a Big Fat Setting Book again. They are obviously still doing their regular adventure formats.

Is there a reason to believe they will? Recent history (including several setting releases) suggests otherwise.

I don’t disagree, but I do think that ‘this is the core box for this line, further support is on its way” lands different than “this is probably the only product you’re going to get”.

PS has always survived as a cult classic actively in spite of WotC (Remember Union?). This gives it a fresh chance to do so for a new generation, and at least gives the old guard a starting point to share the old books and maybe some 3P works.

"Automata: Character. As a tiny reflection of nearby Mechanus, there's a rule for everything here, and gods help the berk who ain't learned
them all!"

"Bedlam: Character. Not really a town, but an asylum let loose - that's what this place is. The chant is the town's mad, that the barmies have seized the keys, but what's a soul to expect from a place that's hard on the gates of Pandemonium?"

Wow, I'm glade I never picked up the original - this would have killed the setting for me. I certainly hope the new book doesn't take this approach. I was excited to get this book - but now you have me concerned. I guess I will check it out in person first to make sure!

They did, all the Gatetowns did not get detailed in the original.

Fair enough, but not enough to pay their price.

 

[Micah Sweet]

Your parameters are so narrow that no matter what they did, you can find a reason to justify your ongoing discontent with Wizards.

Believe what you wish. I'm sure the new product will do what WotC wants from it.

What is your issue with the quote?
