Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zappo" data-source="post: 115091" data-attributes="member: 633">Planescape has always been a rules-light setting. The rules are all in the MotP, but that's about it. All the good stuff in Planescape lies in the setting, and there's very, very little of it in the MotP.The MotP is a great book, and it's good to play Planescape, provided that you've also got the real Planescape books too.No. I get it. You'll notice that I hadn't yet answered to your posts here. What I can't get is certain details of the "why" one doesn't like it.The "munchkin playground" comment in particular strikes me as extremely odd, since it is stated rather explictly in the books themselves, and repeated over and over and over again in more or less explicit forms, that combat power and fighting are not the point of Planescape and will likely get the characters killed. If someone tells to me that he doesn't like sugar because it's bitter, I can't help saying "WTF?!?"The cant thing I can't understand, too, since it can be safely ignored without changing a single comma of the rest - if we had the books in electronic format, you could just make a Search and Replace for "berk" -> "stupid", and click on Replace All. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />The blood war, well, I see it as the inevitable consequence of two very powerful and very evil races with easy access to each other and radically different political views. And, as already said, enmity between demons and devils (and the names tanar'ri and baatezu) are not a Planescape invention. But if someone doesn't agree on that, I'll shrug and go away.OTOH, I can understand the comments about going on the planes at 1st level. I could talk much about the reasons for which that is good, but I recognize that it is a matter of opinions.</blockquote>
