I really didn't like the PS boxsets at all. Seems like there was no rhyme or reason for why some information was in one booklet while other info was in the other booklet. Just needlessly cluttered things.Nightfall said:Pants,
I like the box set that Rappan Athuk Reloaded is coming in. Some people also liked the Midnight box set, along with the Judge's Guild box set.
But there you are.
Meh.Razz said:PLANESCAPE was awesome in that it:
1) Was definitely a fantasy game taken to the "edge" (edge of time, reality, whatever, heh...)
I didn't much care for this aspect. Seemed like every setting put out by tSR 'back in the day' got shoehorned into the Great Wheel for no really good reasons. Just because.2) Connected ALL the campaign settings, universes, worlds, etc. WITHOUT invading too much of the campaign's theme (though in some cases it invaded more than others, Forgotten Realms for example, but it worked out still)
3) The crossovers were just awesome: Tiamat/Takhisis, Vecna and Ravenloft, Orcus and Primus with the Modron March thing, Elminster/Mordenkainen/Dalamar get-togethers...I dunno about you guys, but cameos and crossovers in Planescape was what made my players in PS swoon.
Part of the appeal of PS was that it allowed lowbies to "safely" adventure in the planes while still having challenges for 'epic' adventurers (even though 'epic' sorta meant Level 13+ back in the day). That was cool.6) It's simply fun and a good place to take epic level characters too, as well
