[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 2761181, member: 18701"] All of the 2e Planescape material of course! :cool: There's the Planescape Boxset, Planes of Law Boxset, Planes of Chaos Boxset, Planes of Conflict Boxset, & Player's Primer to the Outlands Boxset. That covers the Outer Planes. Then there's Guide to The Astral Plane, Guide to The Ethereal Plane, & The Inner Planes book. If you find Sigil interesting, pick up In The Cage, A Guide to Sigil. Another very nice book that player's can use (sorta like Planar Handbook only much better) is the Planewalkers Handbook. Keep in mind, all of these books require d20 adjustments, but if you get the 3.0 book Manual of the Planes, it helps with planar crunch rules. It's a pretty good book, but contradicts a lot of Planescape material. I only use it for the crunch conversions. The PS books are expensive to buy now, but you can get pdf's online for pretty cheap. The best thing about Planescape was that it focused 90% on fluff and 10% on numbers. Every book still comes in handy in my 3.5 games. So much good info to use. That's one thing I really dislike about d20 books...I don't need more feats/spells/prcs and rules to do more things with skills and templates. I really wish there was more info for things like monsters in the MM's...reading more about social habits and history about a creature would be nice. Planescape MM's had plenty of that info. If a new D&D version comes out 10 years down the road and I want to switch, none of my 3.5 books will really come in handy. But My 2e PS books can be used forever. [/QUOTE]
