Less Robby the Robot and more Maria from Metropolis. This is a reboot I support.

Me too!

Confound their devious marketing shenanigans!

This has been their MO for the past few boost, just this one is easier for us to guess the context fully.

Is this the first glimpse of the robots from Barrier Peaks?

I love the looks of these!!
Also, aren't those displacer beasts next to the title one of the Eberron house logos?

EDIT: Looks like House Thuranni!

Oh, how curious? Maybe they will have some robust non-Greyhawk suggestions or support after all.

Those are the training robots from near the end. A Boxer/Wrestler, a Fencer, and Martial Artist.

This is one of the reasons I love this forum, so much knowledge of TTRPG history!

I hope so! I can also see the marketing team needing cool-looking filler art, and just using something they already have on hand, too. I hope you are correct, however! Would be nice to see!

These are all pre-Planescape. At the time of publication a planar adventure was hopping over to Gamma World or Boot Hill, not galivanting around the Great Wheel cosmology. Much more like the Marvel multiverse that is familiar to modern D&D players.

Planescape was 2e. The great wheel was 1e, with one of the great 1e art pictures being A Paladin in Hell. Gamma World and Boot Hill were alternate prime material planes, and so weren't really planar adventures at all.

I know from my experience that DMs were creating true planar adventures in Hell, the Abyss and other planes during 1e. Now, it was much harder to go plane hopping in 1e than it is in 3e-5e, but it happened and in official products. And let's not forget Queen of the Demon Web Pits, which took the party to the Abyss. And The Throne of Bloodstone that also went to the Abyss. Ravenloft 1e which was on another plane(demiplane). There was also Tales of the Outer Planes which were short adventures on other planes. I'm sure there were others.
