[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7780644, member: 37579"] Twitch sez: "[I]Sorry. Unless you’ve got a time machine, that content is unavailable.[/I]" But the quote does sound pretty definitive. But, again, he could be referring to a PDF. I'm not willing to put down any money that plans haven't changed or schedules shifted. That will work well for a setting like Dark Sun. If they make that setting akin to [I]Guildmaster's Guide[/I] it will work well. That would be my guess, but that really requires psionics to function. But there's not nearly as many monsters for Planescape that haven't been done. There's very little applicable crunch for players (apart from races we've seen). There's less to fill out the book, unless they go for a small 160-pages. Sigil would work better as a full adventure, like [I]Dragon Heist[/I]. Big adventure and small gazetteer. Heck, before [I]Dragon Heist[/I] was announced, a lot of people were predicting that. People have been predicting Planescape for three years now... Right. And that vast majority won't give an eff about a classic setting. Updating [I]Castle Ravenloft[/I] is not the same thing as updating the Ravenloft campaign setting. They can update [I]The Great Modron March[/I] without "updating" Planescape by making it self contained (as I suggest above in a response to another poster). And we only got one on Waterdeep because of an adventure than was mostly adventure with a very minor section on the city. If we get a Planescape/ Sigil book you can also expect a comparable 24 pages on the city and 200 pages of adventure. Give or take. It likely won't [I]just[/I] be a setting book like we saw previously. Here's the thing... 100% of Planescape in 2e is still applicable. Literally nothing in Eberron changed because of a timeline change, because the timeline didn't change. The only setting that needs an update is the Realms. That's why the PDF approach worked for Eberron, when they released [I]Wayfinder's Guide[/I]. It updated the crunch for people who already had the books and were fans of the setting, letting them use material they already owned. That will work just fine for Dragonlance and Spelljammer and even Planescape. True. But then why would said audience care about a new book written about a setting from an edition they never played? Why do they care? WotC updates settings for the old fans, because the new fans have zero attachment to the worlds. The world of Critical Role and the Tal'dorei Campaign Setting are ten times as appealing as Eberron or Planescape to the new fans. [/QUOTE]
