Planescape Manual of the Planes for 5e on DMSGuild

WHEN SETTINGS COLLIDE
This is the largest in most detailed section of this chapter and it delivers a lot of good ideas on how to connect different settings as part of a planar adventure. Cover things I hadn’t really thought about (what do you when your power source isn’t present in another setting) and giving a little background info on the settings included. There is a lot of fun stuff here, but this is felt, to me, like it was to MtG specific. It covers Ravnica, Arcavios, Theros, and Eberron (with some Krynn too) I would have liked to have seen more D&D settings covered. As a person who mostly homebrews I don’t necessarily know how to connect greyhawk & krynn & forgotten realms & ravenloft, etc.

Bummer that it doesn't seem to include Spelljammer. Seems like it'd be a good setting to combine into a multiverse/planes campaign. Maybe it'll be part of the proposed update.

I covered a fair amount of classic Spelljammer material in the Material Plane section. No way I would leave it out of a book like this.

There's changes coming. Big changes. We're going to make a major update to the book and wanted to wait until that update was ready before launching the print version. Here's some of the changes you can expect to see in the update:

• More content. Across the entire book (not just chapter 3) there'll be lots of new content and some revised content! We have most if not all of the ideas generally laid out, but are still writing up the details. Want to know how many extra pages the book will have? Roll 8d8 and expect that number.

• Revised graphic design. Simply put, some parts of the layout and graphic design were rushed. We're going to take the time to do a proper job of ensuring the book is visually top-notch. Does that mean added art? No. Still no art.

• No price change! The price of the digital version of the book will not change.

• No content removal. No content will be removed, although some content may be moved around a little or tweaked.

• Still a free update! If you've bought the PDF already, or if you buy it before the print version launches, you will still be able to access the updated content for free as a new download option from your DMs Guild/DriveThruRPG library.

• Still expect a discount! If you've bought the PDF already, or if you buy it before the print version launches, you will still be able to get a discount on the print version equal to the value of the digital-only version ($30).

Feel free to respond here or send me a DM if you have any more questions!

Will there be more monsters in this update? I'd love to see your take on some more obscure Planescape creatures, like the bacchae, the reave, or the ratatosk! Your team has a knack for converting the monsters over, and I'd love to see your takes on more beasties!

There will definitely be new monsters, although I'm not saying which ones just yet.
