Wait, do we know the format for Planescape? If it's 64/64/64 again I need to change my vote to "nothing" lol.No interest in the Giants or Planescape books, on account of the topic and the format, respectively.

Yes, I believe it's a 3-book set, like Spelljammer. Here's the ENW thread reporting the announcement:Wait, do we know the format for Planescape? If it's 64/64/64 again I need to change my vote to "nothing" lol.
Goddamn actual idiots.Yes, I believe it's a 3-book set, like Spelljammer.

Planescape - 5 New D&D Books Coming in 2023 -- Including Planescape!
At today's Wizards Presents event, hosts Jimmy Wong, Ginny Di, and Sydnee Goodman announced the 2023 line-up of D&D books, which featured something old, something new, and an expansion of a fan favorite. The first of the five books, Keys from the Golden Vault, will arrive in winter 2023. At...www.enworld.org

Awful lol I guarantee you most people voting Planescape don't know that.
Yeah, last I heard that was what they were going for.
I thought this would put more people off, and was surprised that Planescape was doing so well in the poll.
I mean... maybe they could innovate and print it all in tiny, tiny font? And then sell an official reading device add-on?Goddamn idiots.
Well that makes that completely and totally worthless. You're just going to explain the ENTIRE Planescape setting, all the races, subclasses, Feats, and so on, in 64 pages, then waste 64 pages on a Bestiary of obscure-ass beings that hardly anyone cares about, and waste another 64 pages on a terrible adventure that 5% of people who buy the book will ever run, and 80% of those 5% will only run once ever?
The sheer wasteful stupidity of this kind of design is just mind-boggling.
Awful lol I guarantee you most people voting Planescape don't know that.
That is my concern too. I would be a lot more interested if there were some assurances about what ‘backward comparability’ looks like. I suspect it will mainly apply to adventures.I think the main thing that has me less interested in getting more books is that with the changes to OneDnD, any player options that come out in books this year are likely to be out of date as soon as OneDnD comes out if they're something like subclasses.
You know they won't. It'll be a really bad adventure too. The Spelljammer one was particularly double-awful because it couldn't even be run "out of the box", you had to go to D&D Beyond and get the free level 1-4 adventure there to run before it lol. Like, what the hell is that? Talking about treating it like a videogame.But I'm hoping Planescape swap out the adventure for more setting info.
Yeah, it's like, even if they hadn't done this OGL stuff, if we'd just had as much discussion on the direction of 1D&D as we've had, and the same revelations about that, I think I'd be a lot less keen than I was.Getting a vibe for all of their future plans tells me that I just probably am not that interested in the direction they're going, and I'm off looking at products from other companies to see what there is to get excited about.
Not based on the UA playtests: all the Species elements will work the same, as they have since 2020, and the Class bits seem to be compatible.I think the main thing that has me less interested in getting more books is that with the changes to OneDnD, any player options that come out in books this year are likely to be out of date as soon as OneDnD comes out if they're something like subclasses.
Yeah I don't need another DM screen.Personally, I don't mind the 3 book format. But I'm hoping Planescape swap out the adventure for more setting info.
Also, swapping out the DM's screen for either maps or more pg count would go a long way too.
Class bits are only somewhat compatible unless they haven't structured subclasses the same across the board. Even with what we have now, a current bard has 3 levels assigned to subclasses whereas a onednd bard has 4 levels assigned to subclasses, it means if we have a bard subclass pop up in planescape, it isn't going to easily translate to onednd.Not based on the UA playtests: all the Species elements will work the same, as they have since 2020, and the Class bits seem to be compatible.
I think adventures are part of it, another part I think is the old classes running in a onednd game should still work fine but have to use the older subclasses, but since I intend to upgrade to onednd when it releases, any subclasses in these 2023 offerings will be quickly out of date.That is my concern too. I would be a lot more interested if there were some assurances about what ‘backward comparability’ looks like. I suspect it will mainly apply to adventures.
