Necromancer's City of Brass

[JoeGKushner]

It is the boxed set, and this is what I paid. It has already been delivered as well.

Ditto.

Man, they packed this sucker to the top. Lucky they didn't go over on the interior. It's a tight fit.

Necro's CoB doesn't actually have any links to the Planescape

No no, it's a good thing that countgray called it a Planescape product, if only because it's sure to raise the hackles of the haters.

I am very thrilled with my purchase and look forward to enjoying reading more of it and running my players through it soon. I have a couple of efreeti minis that are about to get a lot of use...

Remind me to post my playtest photos sometime. I really need to dig those out. I don't play D&D minis but the true sign of my geekdom when it comes to hobby games is my love of miniatures and terrain. Such things aren't necessary the way I run, but man they are FUN! My players eyes bugged out when I showed up with the hand made terrain I built for he minaret of screams. "We're adventuring in THAT?"

CoB

It was waiting for me when I arrived back from GenCon. I have only taken a brief look, and it is massive! Can't wait to dig in.

Case, I would really enjoy reading through the play test reports. You do need to share!

PS....Ari's DoL is awesome!

I don't think people who haven't read the book realize just how horrific that is. I hesitate to spoiler anything, but I think "vomit-inducing" might get the idea across...

Can we get pix of this home-made terrain? It might be inspiring!

 

[bowbe]

Yup. I'm looking through all my pictures to find them and will call on a friend who took some during our campaigns to bring me a disk with the ones he took. I have a LOT of pictures tho so it's been taking a while to locate all of them. If I can't find the ones with the terrain I will take some new ones. They won't exactly be "in game" but they will give you an idea of the way things looked.

Still waiting for my copy from amazon....

I've finally bought it as well. That's good stuff for sure. It made me re-read some old Planescape material this week end, and that lead me to a question: in Planescape, the city of Brass is supposed to be in the plane of fire, not the plane of Molten Sky (did not find any mention to that plane either), is that correct? (My Planescape box is in french and I'm almost but not 100% sure that the "Cité d'Airain" mentioned in the plane of fire is the City of Brass itself)

 

[bowbe]

Portions of the city sit within the plane of fire, portions in the plane of molten skies. The text of the book refers to the plane of molten skies as being more or less the sultan's personal playground a demi plane whereby he gains greater access to conquered or soon to be conquered material planes. At least that was our intent on how it was to be inferred.

A good way to think of it... if you approach the city of brass from the plane of fire, it would appear to be completely in the plane of fire, if you approached it from the plane of molten skies as a novice traveler of the planes, it would still appear to be in the plane of fire as there is little difference between the plane of molten skies and the plane of fire itself.

No doubt the planescape material intended it to be the City of Brass itself. (At least thats how i read the english translation).
