I would not bet on this, as the old set was very devoted to talking about weird little rules. Like weapons losing pluses
On different planes.

That's setting information. The setting involves weapons losing plusses. What's not setting info are monsters, races, classes, etc. Things that will be found anywhere.

And I like the Primus dropped the spawning stone in limbo to force a sense of order on the creatures there.

I wonder if the reverse also happened and that's where rogue modrons come from. Personally, I don't think any god should be able to affect a plane in that manner, but...

Monsters are for sure setting info.

Minus all the gods that affect planes or rule over a chunk of them.

Keeping something stupid because of canon doesn't make it not stupid.

That assumes that everyone agrees with you on what's stupid. We all have our opinions, and that's all they are.

Monsters are for sure setting info.

What location is monsters? A setting is where you play. Monsters are what you encounter IN the setting.

Nah. None of them affect the ENTIRE plane like you just described Primus doing. Nor do they affect a plane other than the one they dwell on, like you just described Primus doing.

Stuff you encounter in the setting is part of the setting.

Nah. None of them affect the ENTIRE plane like you just described Primus doing. Nor do they affect a plane other than the one they dwell on, like you just described Primus doing.

There are many examples. Take Cyric after leaving the Grey Waste, he ripped an inhabited Realm of Limbo out of it and made it into his own plane the Supreme Throne in Pandaemonium.

I can't find the link, but I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere WotC saying in coded language that they heard the negative feedback on the slipcase format, but that Planescape was too far advanced in production and it was too late to make any changes there.

that sounds unlikely, even if the content had been advanced enough, they could have still created a single book with 256 pages instead of a slipcase
