[QUOTE="Blair Goatsblood, post: 3743284, member: 29730"] I never really found the fluff, planes, etc. part of the essence of D&D. To me that stuff was l for folks that were REALLY into the "Dungeons & Dragons Official Backstory." The type that would read the novels, were interested in the offical line on "where the d&d world came from", "how did mimics evolve", etc. The majority of people I play D&D with know nothing about the blood war, or sigil, or even have a clear idea of the planes cosmology. And, for me, as a long time D&D player and DM, and I don't want the responsibility of keeping up with canon. I don't want to read additional books to be informed about metaphysical politics & history. IMC Demons are from "The Outer Dark" and Devils...I don't use Devils. Slaad yes, Devils no. The Planes? Different [S]religions[/S] cults say different things...but the characters? Heck, even when it is their business to travel to other planes it's to kill things, take their stuff, and enjoy the scenery. [/QUOTE]
