Personally, I'm hoping we'll be able to find out for sure now whether or not there are any metallic dragons in the first MM. There's a bit of confusion there, if you ask me, because on the one hand, we have Massawyrm's review, which says they're not in it, but on the other hand, we have WotC saying every Desert of Desolation mini will be in the MM ... and that set includes a copper dragon. So which is it? Are there or aren't there any metallic dragons in the MM?

It was said Matallic Dragons would not be in the 1st Draconomicon - not the MM.

the real question is... with all the people that got to touch flip thru and read the book...

1. why were there no slow motion cameras there to get every page as it was flipped thru
2. why wasn't it stolen, scanned and uploaded to the internet by now?

Well, I too expected a little more content to get tossed up here by the forward agents. I guess there just wasn't as much buildup as there was for DDXP, and not as much motivation to preview-hunt, or maybe it's just taking them a while to get to their machines and post it.

No, I don't. "Sweet as" is Kiwi slang. In fact, you could even say it's "Kiwi as". Just ask Mr Pants. He's the real Kiwi among us. I'm just an imposter.

Speaking of which - when is the Maori version of the core rulebooks coming out? That would be kapai.

Ka patupatu ake taku manawa - just at the thought of it!

Shattered lands was hard, and I went through just about everything in that game...

As far as Planescape goes, I don't put too much investment in the cant. They even admitted in the setting itself, that the cant changes, some words become more commonly used as others fall out of favour. I'd be just as happy using vulgar modern British slang, for half of the characters.

I'm pretty sure we might see a couple of drawings from Tony DiTerlizzi if a Planescape book came out. But he just won't be illustrating the whole book, now that he's really successful from doing The Spiderwick Chronicles.

I don't want Sigil to be 'floating in the Astral' or whatever.

If the Wheel is gone (and I hope it is), my first choice would be that no one knows where Sigil "is". Everyone's been there (through a portal), but no one has actually ever found it by non-portal means. It's still a torus, and it's floating over some really big spire, and you can just barely see (way, way down) a land of some kind. Only the largest geographical features are visible (rivers, oceans, mountains, the greensward of some large and ancient forest, etc.) but no one in Sigil (or anywhere else among the Domains) has ever been there or knows anything about it, or ever met anyone from there.

The one things Planescape would have to detail is just how "under control" the various Astral Dominions are. I wouldn't want them to be totally locked down under the control of the resident God(s), because that doesn't leave any room for politics or maneuver among factions.

What I think the most likely result for Planescape, however, is that Planescape is "the implied setting" of the Manuals of the Planes. There'll be a several-page writeup of Sigil in MotP I and beyond that the DM is just left with a sandbox. Maybe, maybe, there'll be a gazetter for adapting the Factions to a less aligned, non-wheel Cosmology.

This right here? This is brilliant. I love this.

It'd be pretty sad if WotC couldn't afford to hire Tony. Of course, he's become very successful, but saying that Wizards couldn't hire him to head a project is saying that NO gaming company could hire him. . . ever!

That's sad for us gamers!

I'd be happy if Tony D. was able to contribute maybe 1/5th of Planescape art. I'd be ecstatic if WotC would just pony up and hire him to do 4/5ths!

There will undoubtedly be more stuff for the settings released via the DDI, though.

Much to the displeasure of the many who don't want to go to the DDI.
