The Raw Magic feature is something I’ve wanted sorcerers in 5E to have. They can shape magic to their will and could cast a spell they don’t even know… but would pay dearly for it
MCDM’s Beastheart is a perfect fit for this setting! I ran a one shot with an infernal beastheart and it was an amazing session! The party having a borderline feral monster traveling with them makes an unforgettable experience. I think I’ll be picking up the Planegea book soon for a mini campaign I’ll run this summer as my main group takes a break from our 6 year long campaign.
Every time you post a planegea video the ooga booga part of my brain starts grunting and banging on rocks. Keep ‘em coming Jorphdan the clanfire demands it!!!
Currently playing a campaign in Planegea! A little Starling Lunar Sorcerer named Io trying to get her way home. We’re only level 5, (started at level 3) and I love it!
I am loving this setting and your coverage of it I loved the part where you talk about making weapons from saber tooth tiger tusks and all of the preparation and ritual surrounding it. All I could think about was the sand people in book of boba fett making gaffi sticks. Love it.
I am so loving this setting, ty for showing it. My first character would be a Saurian leatherwing deep forest warlock. I really hope to play it someday.
My copy arrived on Tuesday, I'm excited to go through it and nick bits for my Spelljammer & Talenta plains adventures and slowly grab a group to play it properly with. I'm loving the ideas in it so far😊
Omg this setting sounds like SO much fun. I can't wait for my copy to arrive and try it out! Thanks Jorphdan, and I hope you keep making more Planegea vids!
This setting would be perfect for exploring/crafting the backstories of characters, especially Demon Lords, that we know were once mortal. Take Baphomet for example, whose lore states that in life he was a man who made chattel of the Gods. Imagine being the party that has to unite the major clans to face down a great orc warband that has been desecrating God Hollows for the Divine Ivory. Whose chieftain (the BBEG/Baphomet) is the first know Archdruid after having leeched the Divine power from them, and now seeks the greatest power of all, that of the Worldheart Dargon within Blood Mountain. And although the Abyss is yet to exist in this setting, I think, when it is created his soul could be one of the first condemned and reassigned for the great evils and transgressions committed in life.
Since the world is young and still forming, zones of wild magic would be a common occurrence, forces of creation running rampant in an area, generating all sorts of weird and deadly creatures. Using some of the weirdest animals from fossil record as inspiration would probably work really well here.
You don't really have to use the hounds of Tindaloss to stop players from creating bronze. You can just have it where their characters have no idea what the ore looks like or that it can be smelted down. The area they are in might also not even have the right minerals for it. After all, America lacks a reliable source of tin. I love the idea of wizards tattooing spells onto their bodies. I would also incorporate the fame optional rule as your standing within the clan and your clan's standing within the larger area. Having tieflings be ones touched by a god kinda flips their interactions with the world on its head. That sounds incredibly interesting. Another thing I feel is important is keeping track of spell components. Your 1st level spellcaster should not have enough components to continue casting their spells infinitely, especially since a lot of the components listed for spells are not available. Instead a big part of the early adventures for them should be going on quests to find the special materials used in their magic. I've toyed with the idea of a stone age campaign multiple times in the past, but never really managed it. This might be a good way of finally playing it.
Metal doesn't exist in Planegea. It's not just that people haven't discovered how to exploit it, it is actually not present in the world. The only exception is the five metallic dragon consorts of the Worldheart Dragon. Everything else 💯
lovely video. i'm honestly curious what your thoughts on esper genesis are. i know it's not new, but it's like... the most well-thought-out and supported 5e sci-fi 3rd party supplement
I have not got the books but from what you described yes I am very excited to play should I get a chance. Character wise I'm honestly not sure what kind of character I would play. The way they think of magic and use it sounds perfect in my mind and id probably try to play a young spell skin I think you called them or possibly a scavenger
I like the idea of warlocks in this setting being the attempted birth of a new god where some gods start out with warlocks before it slowly transitions to clerics
I don't really have a consistent schedule to play D&D, but if I did i would probably want to try the green reaper sub class for the ranger from grim hallow ( i think?). Something about using poison seems right for this setting especially if it would have some drawbacks, like if you couldn't eat what you killed because you poured poison into it.
I know nothing about DnD classes or subclasses. What class would I best choose to recreate spear from genndy tartakovsky's primal? Barbarian? Would he be able to have an animal companion (preferably Fang the tyrannosaurus because I'm trying to recreate the show characters) or would that depend purely on the game master? Is there a way to get shapeshifting abilities without bwing a druid? (I was very happy to see my boi in the thumbnail btw) Edit: Ok I admit I should have finished watching the video lmao
I’m actually wondering if you do absolutely want to add metal into the setting I would have it be a very rare gift from a God you worship or a very rare find from a high-level enemy. I would believe that technically this isn’t giving them new technology, as it would be giving slivers of divinity to whoever uses such tools in very rare amounts perhaps only the person who is gifted the tool could use it properly.
All this makes me want a Velociraptor animal companion. Who wouldn't want a savage little lizard the size of a turkey chewing on their enemies! And speaking of animal companions Jorphdan, can I ask after Oskar?
A Correction... Sabretooth tigers had fangs (carnivores) not Tusks (herbivores). As a Massive Age of Hyboria and Dark Sun Fan...Planegea is right up my alley! This is the only Channel that directed me to this wonderful Primal setting!
@@johnspencer448 correct! they don't pursue prey (shell fish) but root them out. Big Cats actively puncture vertebrae and spines which fangs are for quick dispatching. Yes Shellfish is prey and Walruses are predators.
Ya sorta implied that only herbivores have tusks though, which isn’t true at all. Also, it’s kinda irrelevant if he called them tusks instead of fangs because it’s pretty much just an argument of semantics. It’s like when someone calls an antler a “horn”. It comes out of the head and can stab and/or bash you.
@@johnspencer448 Scientific Fang Definition: Any of the canine teeth of a carnivorous animal, such as a dog or wolf, with which it seizes and tears its prey. A long, sharp, pointed tooth, especially a canine tooth. Fangs are for Seizing and Tearing... Tusk Definition: A long projecting tooth or toothlike part. Implications maybe taken or not. But the Science is clear.
How does one play a spellskin in this setting? You would be totally bound to one location unless you had a way to magically access your wall, and the wall would need to be MASSIVE
It might make sense to make it a 1 foot square per level. Then, at least the wizard could feasibly have multiple walls. Exhaustion is also extremely punishing. The party would have to wait days for the spellskin to add spells to their wall and recover off exhaustion. I would want to either use different rules or make the exhaustion easier to remove.
Feels like the druid got shafted a little in this setting. Just for living in union with and drawing strength from the natural world everyone wants to kill them. I feel sorry for them.
The Way of Abnegation, themed around depriving oneself of material comforts and needs to the extreme. Think the monk that survives on only a berry a day
that is true! But if you want more the authors have a patreon setup and have been actively supporting the setting there! Check out their subreddit for more info too! www.reddit.com/r/Planegea/
And even then, I still think the bronze age would still happen if not by accident, but by time, as I would believe, especially since you can’t write down words in any format. Is that an oral tradition would be a very widespread practice with people being taught from birth to remember even the tiniest of details in conversations.
Honestly? I would ask my GM if I could make a version of my Dire Honey Badger Barbarian here. He is a modified Orc I made for fun one game. Literal Beast class Barbarian. Very hard to put down, and just as difficult to keep down. He would fit in perfectly!
Runes and any symbols are dangerous as they flirt the line between a phonetic alphabet and abstract representation. Spellskins are viewed with distrust as they often go too far and bring down the Hounds. The idea is that symbols are pretty much okay so long as they don't start representing sounds. The whole thing is dangerous, though
For the purpose of the setting they are in-book one of the 'saurian people'. Look pop culture is still at odds with the idea of feathers, maybe in 2100 we would have shifted to 'avian dinosaurs' rather than 'pterodactyls'
Some of the classes just do not fit this setting. Especially monk. If the theme of the setting is "struggling to survive" , then a character that needs NOTHING as they level up is just antithetical to that setting. I'd also argue that paladin and bard also don't fit, but they're much less odd than monk. And obviously artificer should just not exist based on the lore about not having any tech. If the wheel isn't allowed then neither is anything they can make.
Swarmkeeper would fit very well with using birds or small dinos. Sounds like a very fun setting
Rules as written, velociraptors *are* Tiny in 5e. 🤔

After your last video on Planegea I went and bought the book. Huge book, lots of good stuff, worth it. 👍
Hope you enjoy it!
Me too
Same here, and no buyer’s remorse in sight.
I bought the boxed set and I'm enjoying it. I just feel the included adventure is too short and basic.
This setting seems so cool! One of my groups is working on a 3.5 version (the skills we're coming up with are great) I can't wait to play!

Like 8 hrs before you released this video i was searching for Plangea stuff because it sounds so cool!
Nice! Hopefully another one next Wed!
@@Jorphdan taking a corpse to the cave to study tattoos or markings on a wizard is metal. Tanning someone's hide has a whole new ferocity

Such a cool, unique setting that can be open to anything D&D.
looks so cool !!! certainly will want to play in this setting

I'll happily join that 😂

I made a list of suggestions from multiple third party sources in the previous Planegea video. Maybe you might find it useful to look into.
This setting would be perfect for exploring/crafting the backstories of characters, especially Demon Lords, that we know were once mortal. Take Baphomet for example, whose lore states that in life he was a man who made chattel of the Gods.

Love this setting been looking to run a game set in Planegea
Kingdon Death Monster is a setting that could definitely use a lot of the concepts planegia has when running in 5e
Great video can't wait to use this for my Primal game I was making for C&C system 👍
Thanks for doing these videos. More people need to know about this amazing setting. Honestly, I do not use the Dragonborn instead I use Saurians
Very interesting, but too many games to play right now. Enjoying this series.
This sound so cool. Awesome job
Love the setting. Very… primal. Retcon things to exist in primordial times like owl bears is a okay with me.
Since the world is young and still forming, zones of wild magic would be a common occurrence, forces of creation running rampant in an area, generating all sorts of weird and deadly creatures. Using some of the weirdest animals from fossil record as inspiration would probably work really well here.
good gods that was one of the best inserts of theatFrakes video ever.
Already a dinosaur fan now I've been double sold on the book.
In case you’re doing more of these, pretty sure the monks are called Ascetics (pronounced “uh-SEE-tics”) - loving these videos!
“Ass-et-ics”
Aesthetic and ascetic is two very VERY different things my dude
That held "continuation" at 0:22 had me nervous...phew
You don't really have to use the hounds of Tindaloss to stop players from creating bronze. You can just have it where their characters have no idea what the ore looks like or that it can be smelted down. The area they are in might also not even have the right minerals for it.

I would also incorporate the fame optional rule as your standing within the clan and your clan's standing within the larger area.
Having tieflings be ones touched by a god kinda flips their interactions with the world on its head. That sounds incredibly interesting.
Another thing I feel is important is keeping track of spell components. Your 1st level spellcaster should not have enough components to continue casting their spells infinitely, especially since a lot of the components listed for spells are not available. Instead a big part of the early adventures for them should be going on quests to find the special materials used in their magic.

And here I thought Plangea is what happens when you over prepare for your sandbox campaign.
YAYYY OMG THE PLAYER OPTIONS VIDEO!!!
I don't know if I like the setting itself, but I have been considering a prehistoric campaign that a lot of these rules would help with.
Well done on this video.
If I can't be a kobold I would build a dino race to be a little raptor person and be a druid/monk
I think I'm gonna try making one shots in this setting for the bar I regular

Kinda disappointing that paladins are just paladins instead of getting a unique primal spin like most of the others.
