[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 3690035, member: 11697"] For the first two certainly. Considering the extent that Planescape is/is entwined with the standard D&D cosmology, and considering how much material from the setting continually appears in Dragon and Dungeon, monsters in the various Monster Manuals, and comprises one of the major sources for the 3e Manual of the Planes, 3.5 Planar Handbook, the planar content in the BoVD, BoED, Fiendish Codex I, and Fiendish Codex II, and even the most recent Expedition to the Demonweb Pits (for the planar elements)... yes it would sell. There's not much distinction between Planescape and D&D cosmology, just Planescape proper would specifically delve into Sigil as a planar city, and involve itself more heavily with warring ideologies and philosophies of the planes, the Blood War, and the factions.
