And tell those kinds of neat stories that go beyond your... And yeah, maybe recast it as like the life of a hero can include not just, you know, saving your town or whatever, but it can span the realms and it can bring you to the home of your deity or the biggest villains and just... Yeah.

becomes not a weight i just think this brevity has you know like if i look at 2014 the table with the alignments which you can debate how useful that is or not i know how you feel you know at least it tells me arcadia the peaceable kingdoms of mechanist the clockwork nirvana of you know akron the infinite battlefield of something that tells me what the why i'm even looking at this otherwise i'm just looking at stuff on a page that's meaningless

yeah and non-inspiring except that on dnd beyond right now you can go by planescape the book and see all and get get the answer to all of that yeah i could also get confused by it or you know i don't yeah i i could also buy the 2014 book and it'll tell me more i don't know i just think that they've gone to to brevity right with like the question that prompted this of you know what do we make of

This being so drastically reduced. Well, I think a couple of things. One thing is you've you've removed the gods entirely. And in some ways that makes sense because you're not trying to limit the scope of things. But you've also made it so that deities are further disappearing from play and importance and in consideration. And I don't know that that's fun.

I would debate the fun of that and the service that it provides to the players, the benefit to the players to remove that. Similarly, with the planes of existence, I think that when you've distilled it down to this one page of text and an image, you've lost a lot of what made this interesting.

Yes, you know, sure, it can be in the DMG and stuff, but that's the book that people keep on saying they've never read. Right. Even DMs. And yes, there is a planescape setting, but then you got to go by that and read all those things. And, you know, how many people do that? We know the numbers are low on that. And so I just this was your chance. This was your chance to inspire and inform.

And I feel like it's right.

And I feel like it's right.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and maybe that's it is that, you know, fifth edition 2014 being a new edition, it felt it had to declare what things were right. Um, like separate a bit from the dawn war of fourth edition and things like that. Um, and maybe 2024, uh, I might even say tricks itself into thinking, well, I don't have to say that because there's all this other stuff.

But but I mean, this is your this is your first book for a new player. And so I think it does. I think it should give me what I need to know. Otherwise, then remove the entire section. Right. What you've told me here is guns don't matter.

Yeah, I mean, and I think you and I, we may sound further apart than we are, like you made a comment in the show notes that I totally agree with, which is like, you know, tell me what do gods in the multiverse mean to your setting? Right. So that you position then settings to tell you, I think that would be great. Right.
