[QUOTE="ferratus, post: 4634329, member: 55966"] I'm definitely a fan of the "chop shopped" Ravenloft and Planescape, because there was always too much baggage to incorporate elements of Ravenloft or Planescape to my own campaign. Presenting Sigil as its own city between the planes, without all the planescape factions, locations, and backstory it makes it much more palatible to absorbing into my own homebrew cosmology. Likewise for Ravenloft, I don't want all the B monster baggage, but a Domains of Dread that I can use as part of an overall campaign (or a break from it) I really like. Thus, with Manual of the Planes and other things about cosmology, I don't mind the mining of those old settings for inspiration. However, if it is simply importing planescape or ravenloft, I'm not going to buy it. It will be for Planescape and Ravenloft fans, of which I'm not a member. I say if the demand is there for a Ravenloft or Planescape supplement, then let it be unapologetically made. However, I see no reason why we can't take choice peices of those settings that the rest of us can find cool in the meantime. [/QUOTE]
