Information said:Well, I'd say its about time they did something just for old schoolers...
1. "Demon" and "devil" are still entirely inseparable from the "tanar'ri" and "baatezu" names, and the Blood War, unfortunately, is still canon.
Gee, what they did there was make it so both terms where entirely valid. I thought that was rather clever of them.
2. Despite the ceaseless grumbling of Planescape fans, the Great Wheel detailed in the MotP is much closer to that setting than the original MotP. Sigil is referenced and the Lady of Pain is still around.
Oh, Sigil was mentioned. A paragraph or two destroyed the book for you. You'll understand if I don't feel sorry for you.
Most of the Planescape titles for planes are still retained, such as Celestia, Bytopia, Ysgard, etc.
AND by their original names... The Seven Heavens of Mt. Celestia, etc.
"Yugoloth", rather than "daemon" (as it should have been), was used.
They had a good reason for that: to dispel confusion.
For once, why can't you "new schoolers" cut us old timers some slack!? We have to endure your crap, so put up with ours a bit.
I don't know about other old timers (I have been playing since OD&D, BTW), but I can tell you why I think they don't owe anything to you: They have striven to compromise in multiple ways, yet you remain unsatisfied that anything has been done for your benefit. You don't want a compromise. You want it your way, period.
