Since you define everything about the planes described in 2nd edition to be "Planescape", you would naturally see it everywhere. What about "Lords of the Iron Fortress" (which I do not own) references "Planescape" by your definition? If it mentions Sigil, gate towns, spell or gate keys...

We've been over this with you - you're conflating "Planescape" with "2nd edition D&D planar material / the Great Wheel" and throwing in your own assertion that the Planescape material somehow demand special treatment in canon. Other people have argued these points with you at length, and yet...

Your arguments go around and have many interesting points, but you keep returning to this blind assertion.

Experience Points?

Well, by definition - whatever the highest possible strength in the game is, Thor is slightly stronger than that. At least while wearing his stuff.

Since we're striving for realism here, I'm sure you all also agree that WotC should move D&D back to the days of limiting female characters to a lower Strength score too, right? ... do I need a sarcasm tag here?

Put them in a location where you don't mind them thinking of the locals as the "enemy". Design a city with evil merchants and a worse government, where the good people don't have anything worth stealing. Make your local police a worthy (evil) adversary that the players can feel victorious when...

Vikings were farmers too. Raiding was a hobby, or perhaps a sideline business. IANAHistorian, but I believe their real advantage was simply that they were better sailors and could attack "out of nowhere" and retreat where they couldn't be followed.

That's an interesting side effect of the level change to Teleport. I wonder if WotC considers that a bug or a feature?

I dunno - being a raider is like being a large predator (like a lion). You have to kill something to eat every single time. You can't afford to fight something that could even conceivably kill or badly injure you. On that note, the food chain on most D&D words is just as out of whack. Can...

They weren't mine, they were my brothers (AD&D 1st ed) - and my parents bought them for him as a Christmas present. I wound up playing way more than he did.

You do, really? Personally I think the Balor would look strange in thigh-highs, but to each his own I guess.

This sounds like one of those issues where you have to look at sales numbers. Did modules intended for generic campaign worlds sell better or worse than modules set in specific campaign worlds? (Although the best indicators would be from 2e, where records are poor.)

I'll have to remember this phrase the next time I get into an argument about fire snakes.

I wonder if it would be easier to come up with a backstory reason why your low level starting area is (a) threatened by a lot of monsters right now, but (b) hasn't been so until recently.

Yes, that's what I think. You didn't read the comment or think about it until I'd said some variant of it for the fourth time. Demonstrating that you only argue with what you think I'm saying, not what I'm saying. I suspect more people do agree with me - they're just not bothering to post in...

Thank you very much!

As I said when I first mentioned it, that was what I was told. While I may be mistaken - the fact that you only this time around even brought this up tells me how much you're actually reading my arguments. The fact that you think that tells me a LOT about you and how you think.

I plan to have an encounter with a legendary moose. What you need to do is compare a creature in the MM that has legendary actions, with a creature of the same CR that does not. I suspect that the legendary creature does not have fewer HP or do less damage than the non-legendary. Ergo, no...

As I have pointed out many times, WotC has already addressed the comment of "underage offspring of a sentient race" by deliberately removing the stats for baby dragons from 4e and 5e. So it's not up to me, as it's already been ruled upon. And I question your statement that the burden of proof...
