So if you want to stick with the Great Wheel and erinyes and all the rest, do it. WotC may well put out a supplement some day supporting that. Despite the gnashing of teeth by some, third party publishers ARE doing that (look for the old school succubus and erinyes in the 4E Tome of Horrors, for instance). And, of course, you are always able to grab the PDFs of OD&D, BD&D, 1E, 2E and 3E products and continue to use their metasetting indefinitely.</blockquote>
