[Worlds and Monsters] My sense of wonder is back

[Simon Atavax]

After reading Worlds and Monsters, I have to say that the book has done what it is supposed to do. My sense of wonder has been restored after substantial 3.5 burnout. The flavor text and the beautiful artwork (especially of the various realms/planes) makes me chomping at the bit for 4e.

 

[Nebulous]

I agree. I was already hyped about 4e, but after flipping through the book yesterday i'm even more excited. The art really is great.

 

[Xethreau]

Hummmmm.... I might just get it now, if I can get my hands on some money.

 

[UngeheuerLich]

Oh yes, especially the two page pictures of the various planes and cities are awesome.

If they make posters, i will buy them.

Also the little bit of fluff for the various places and planes makes me really excited running a 4e game.

 

[FreeXenon]

Me too!

The pictures are great and inspiring. I cannot wait to see what they do.
I am inspired by what I have read.
Yea!

Have to love how the tieflings ruins are an homage to the architecture of Sigil.

Heh, I was wondering if anyone else had noticed that too. I was thumbing through a couple of old Planescape books last night, getting ideas for some Bael Turath ruins I want to use in my 4E game.

Speaking of homages...

Am I the only one who noticed the "spelljammer" ship sailing the "Astra Sea" in the "Astral Dominion" art on p.17?

Yea! Those spiky towers covered by jungle looks cool. It made me think that underneath the ground were all these corridors of a larger structure attaching them and stuff. The preview book has me really pumped for 4e. I do wish they did more actual previewing of stats though, rather than ambiguous fluff.

I noticed that as well, and it made me totally stoked. The way I look at it, the Astral Sea can incorporate both old "transitive" settings, Planescape and Spelljammer.

Dang, dogg; I just thought of this: At heroic tier, you get a ship. At paragon, you enchant that ship to fly. At epic level, you install at spelljamming helm and sail the Astral Sea.
