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.

Mine ended with the 1e MM1 & 2, 1e Deities and Demigods, and to a lesser extent the 1e Manual of the Planes

I wish they had never extend the lore beyond what was in those books (setting books not withstanding - which I wish was understood as their own separate thing)

2e fulfilled my desire for more of what I like, which is why it remains my favorite edition of D&D.

Odd that they skipped Argenach Rilmani, since I feel those would be encountered more often than the Aurumach. Or how there's no Leonal Guardinal or Lupinal Guardinal, or no Trumpet Archon (which is easily the most angelic looking Archon). And I would have liked to see how they would have resolved what the Celestial Eladrin are or even called in 5e.

There are products on the DMsGuild right now that have more complete planar bestiaries than this.

Interesting - I'm very surprised to see the rilmani get some representation!

I have to assume that our still missing modrons, guardinals, archons, and rilmani will be featuring in future products, like the '24 MM. Or in a future Manual of the Planes.

So, one of the stated design goals for the new MM is ensuring that there are valid and interesting Monaters of every type at every Level. The 2014 Mam only has like 4 Celestials, so I reckon we will see stuff like revised Eladrin in there.

The Baernaloth is cool to see, as well!

Wow, totally missed that! That's really great to see!

Really, I've been assuming Rilmani would be present given how the Outlands are their whole thing, and the penchant of 5E Setting books inserting obscure Monsters in Bestiaries.

I suppose its possible.

that seems a bit silly, to never expand anything on all of that stuff we would have missed out on a ton.

 

[Demetrios1453]

Looks like we are getting the first 5 Hierarch Modrons.

There are 15 modrons overall - we got the first third in the MM, the middle third here, and the top third presumably in some future product

Primus would be quite niche, as they should be at the power level of a Demon Lord or Archdevil. While a Secundus might very well be CR 20.
