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 wonder how much of the page count is taken up by all of these art pieces? Could drop the word count significantly.

I wonder if threads (on twitter,not ENWorld) like these are done in partnership or the behest of WotC as viral marketing. Did they pick someone and say, "You can share art and the ToC from this one book this week. Next week, you can share art and ToC from the adventure." or whatever.

If they are, does it really count as showing up "in the wild"?

Those archons are gorgeous! The baernaloth looks particularly wicked, and I'm glad to see larva finally get 5e art!

That's an ethyk on the back of the bariaur! Odd that it doesn't have a stat block, but I suppose it's a cameo

That's above my pay grade.

They explicitly fo that for Magic card previews, they even provide a schedule in advance for the public. Unclear how coordinated these are, but they give these preview copies out on purpose and must provide some sort of guidelines.

Okay, I have questions about the Beastlands picnic picture. Yes, happy time with your animal friends. An adorable otter, a cute kiwi bird, the bear's scarf is a nice touch, the golden snub-nosed monkey is a deep cut, ...but what in the Nine Hells is that enormous transparent tardigrade? That thing is both nightmare fuel and nothing nature ever intended.

I mean, if we have giant spiders, snails, fire beetles, etc., why not a tardigrade?

I was never really into Planescape when it first came out. I was happy to just stick to the World of Greyhawk. But I do like what I have seen thus far. For me, the real kicker will be how much support this setting will receive in terms of "official" adventures and how well they are written.
