D&D 5E (2014) Two more Classic Settings to go

[Aldarc]

You’re forgetting that a large part of the Planescape setting is treating anyone without higher understanding as ignorant Primes. It’s fairly common to associate the same arrogance to the players who prefer the setting.

But when it comes down to it, if two people have conflicting ideas about how something works, at least one of them is wrong. If you have a disagreement about what’s the center of the solar system two common arguments are either the earth is the center or the sun is the center. For millennia we thought it was the earth. We were wrong. For centuries we thought it was the sun. But we were wrong. Now we know it’s a point near the sun thanks to the gravity of Jupiter.

If the cosmology of the planes is an established fact, either the people of Eberron are right or wrong. Either the Planescape notion of cosmology is right or it’s wrong. Both can’t be right, unless we’re going back to crystal spheres and applying that to cosmologies somehow. But both could be wrong.

Weird thing is, though, is that both could be right, especially if one reads Eberron: Rising from the Last War, which talks about the special status of Eberron in its relation to the Great Wheel and its cosmology.

They give DMs options.

They give DMs options.

That's a good approach IMO.

That's a good approach IMO.

And that is what I feel the official approach is: keep things fuzzy, present possibilities for what people can do with their own version.

I'll point out these two more classic setting are just what was previously promised, more are likely planned.

Winninger said as much, yup.

We can agree Dark Sun is one of the alpha lines, mong the favorite ones or most popular, but it needs more work than the rest. The psionic powers have to arrive before, and it has an art style very special. WotC has to think about possible changes, for example adding the PC races from Expanded Psionic Handbook, or allowing space for future no-arcane classes (for example the ki-swordsage or the totemist shaman).

Planescape and Dragonlance could return as a compilation of modules, and the setting would arrive later.

Darksun will have its time, but I agree its alot more work then many others.

Weirdly, that's also the new marketing slogan for Viagra.

That’s pretty damn funny
