[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6053994, member: 22779"] Well, MC8 would be a prime example of dumping Planescape into the laps of every setting. After all, the introduction of demons and devils (and various other goodies) into 2e came part and parcelled with the Blood war. Product after setting product started mentioning this or that bit of Planescape. You mentioned Spelljammer and it was just the other side of the same coin. Fortunately, it wasn't terribly popular, so, you didn't get a whole lot of Spelljammer stuff leaking into other settings. But, looking at modules and whatnot, all sorts of Planescape stuff creeps in. Plus, every single demon or devil entry basically has to mention the place these creatures take in the Blood war. Never minding any other evil outsider, which also has to get it's proper location in things. 'loths? It's not good enough to just be mercenary demons. No, you have to be mercenary demons in the Blood War. Sigh. Hey, I'm not saying Planescape was all bad. It wasn't. There's some seriously cool ideas. I just don't want any of it in core. The same way I don't want Krynnish minotaurs or gnomes in core, Mythal in core or cannibal halflings. Keep setting specific stuff to an absolute minimum and keep it as generic as possible. [/QUOTE]
