I’m putting a lot of hope in the extra 32 pages the sourcebook gets. I’m hoping for more text and tools to help me run my own Planescape adventures.
...i think planescape + planebreaker will be the way to go for fifth edition, similarly to spelljammer + the ætherial expanse, but of course there're also always DM's guild reprints to flesh out TSR-specific setting lore...
...i did the math last week with an imaginary shopping cart and calculated that we can get the entire corpus of second-edition planescape material in (re)print for about $300: tempting, albeit pricey...
An adventure for levels 3-10 and 17.
This right there? This is why nobody plays high-level games.
Structuring an adventure with skipping Tier 3 entirely sounds interesting, NGL. It's not something we have seen before.
It's a very strange approach.
Having played Planescape: Torment for the first time back in 2018, I've been wanting to run a game based in Sigil since then. Currently resisting the urge to pre-order rn, ugh.
Resist the urge to preorder. The book isn't going to give you enough information about Sigil to run anything. If you want to spend your money well go into the DM's Guild and pick up the 2nd edition PDFs of "The Cage" and the planescape boxed set instead.
Hnnng, yeah I guess. Not that hard to do with their Spelljammer release.
Is there any down side to wait for reviews of the books contents? While this theme heavily Interests me, the last Releases of WotC have Not been too great in quality
…used to be that the limited editions would sell out quickly but i’m uncertain whether that’s still the case…
Planescape: Torment is a favorite of mine.
Sadly, Torment: Tides of Numenera didn't really scratch the itch for me.
Follow Morte as he presents
What's up, chief?
Looks like no new subclasses based on the description. Nor are there any races listed (what's the new term? ancestry? Species?) so this feels lacking in the character options as well. Maybe that bodes well for the setting materials?
- Discover 2 new backgrounds, the Gate Warden & the Planar Philosopher, to build planar characters in the D&D Beyond character builder
- Channel 7 otherworldly feats, new intriguing magic spells & more powered by planar energies
Oh wow...2 background and 7 feats. I am impressed /s
Fuck you WotC. This is even more half-assed than Spelljammer.
So, it's going to be utter shit just like Spelljammer? Got it.
Pass.
Once again, they refuse to learn the important lesson: When you make a book for everyone, you make it for no-one.
