[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 6131600, member: 11821"] The Blood War was introduced in the 2e monster binders, as part of the edition's demon/devil mommy-friendlying. The differences between the 1e MotP and Planescape are pretty big, and for completely understandable reasons. The 1e MotP sets almost all of planes as incredibly hostile to non-immortal life, and specifically sets them up to screw over high-level adventurers. Planescape massively tones them down and makes them more "adventurable" even at lower levels. I love the mystique and flavor of the 1e MotP, but it was largely unusable for actual games. As I understand it, this was part of the whole design philosophy of Planescape, so it's weird to see that major shift in focus and intent just glazed over. It's a weird argument, and one I honestly don't get. (And as an aside, Planescape changed up the names of somewhere around half the Outer Planes, so there's that, too.) -O [/QUOTE]
