Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

New on the DMSGuild is the Manual of the Planes for 5th edition. The cover is stunning.

​

It's over 300 pages and the credits page includes folks from The Draconomicon, The Dragonlance Companion, Tasha's Crucible of Everything Else, Planescape: Metropolis, The Honkonomicon and Planewalker.com

​

I love the special thanks.

This project was made possible by Roll20. Thank you for unlocking new horizons for the latest generation of planewalkers, bashers, berks, and touts. We’d also like to thank the giants on whose shoulders we stand when writing this book: Justice Ramin Arman, Richard Baker, Wolfgang Baur, David “Zeb” Cook, Bruce R. Cordell, Jeff Grubb, David Noonan, F. Wesley Schneider, Rick Swan, and all others who helped create and cultivate Planescape and the planes.

I've just bought it and am reading it now.

Well I’m a new owner of the 5e box and this Manual and new players are going to get to path the planes!

 

[Hussar]

Two things I do wish. I wish WotC would give them some advertising air and also allow them into retail somehow.

They used to with the Dragon+ articles. They really should continue to do so.

Any idea on what makes a Primordial Genasi differ from the Genasi we're all familiar with?

 

[Maxperson]

I'm curious to hear if they manage to write something that feels more authentic than the boxed set.

It looks like if you combine that book with Sigil from the new release, you'll have a good Planescape setting.

 

[Scribe]

I wish I could give it a flip through first, and buy it in print second.

 

[Corinnguard]

The 17 page preview on the DMsGuild doesn't quite do it justice. If you are going to present a preview of your work, you need to know which part of your work appeals to the most fans. With me, it's the species and certain monsters.

You describe the cover as "stunning"? Am I missing something here?

It's suppose to represent the Great Wheel of the Outer Planes and their respective layers.

Any idea on what makes a Primordial Genasi differ from the Genasi we're all familiar with?

They are 12 new subtypes linked to the Elemental Chaos, specifically the quasielemental and paraelemental planes regions.

We circled around a lot on a single adjective to describe things linked to the Elemental Chaos, and eventually "primordial" was settled upon as not everyone's favorite choice but one we all were happy enough with.

Okay. Ex. An Ash Genasi being the progeny of an Efreet living in the Cinder Wastes on the Elemental Plane of Fire. Clay Genasi from Dao living near the Mud Hills on the Elemental Plane of Earth. And so forth.
