[QUOTE="Chaosmancer, post: 8855798, member: 6801228"] Did you see [USER=6716779]@Zardnaar[/USER] 's response? They pre-ordered and then rushed to cancel their order based on bad reviews. But... who is giving these bad reviews? Most of them are people who are saber-rattling about how it isn't as much as the entire library of material they had from 2e. I'm aware of one or two people who didn't like this who don't know 2e, but they certainly aren't the majority of detractors. And Planescape is ALREADY getting declared as being a terrible release and mishandling of the product, not because anyone has seen it, but because OF COURSE WoTC is going to ruin it like they have ruined everything they've touched. So, how accurate are these reviews going to be? And for the people who aren't online, who just bought this box set at Wal-Mart (saw them on the shelves last night) and enjoyed it, if they see the box set for Planescape and buy it... doesn't that prove the products were good? If they take their experience with this spelljammer material and say "I want more like this" isn't that proving the point wrong that this setting material is worthless? [/QUOTE]
