And it's great.Not using 3E rules mind you, but it's still the best campaign worldthat TSR ever created. Though I think that rewriting planescape for 3Ewould suck it dry of all the fun and originality that Cook and Baer putinto it.  In Planescape, the gods didn't even have stats of any kind;they just did what they wanted, and PCs trembled in fear of their everybreath. I also miss the Level Titles, the pleasure of levelling up without havingto consult 13 different sourcebooks about which PrC to take, and thedescription tables from DMG2. The cover art in 2E was much better, IMHO. I especially detest the "fake pastiche jewel" look of the core 3E rulebooks. Awful. The coverof the 2E DMG with the evil wizard opening the doors was the perfectpicture of a GM in his prime. I also miss the monster and NPC descriptions that didn't have a wholecolumn or page of complicated stat blocks.  The flavor text for the monsters,for example the fabulous Fairy Dragon, it sorely missed. God, it takes me hours in 3E just to make one NPC. In 2E - albeit with a lot of fudging - I could have done it in my head. As Mr. Nostalgia would have said if he were still alive: "Those were simpler days..."  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
