[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4576115, member: 22779"] Speaking only for myself, it's not so much Planescape hate, it's more just being really tired being told that the new stuff sucks because they don't properly follow books that have been out of print for over a decade. Who cares? It's the whole "They destroyed Forgotten Realms" crap all over again. It's a new system. They've SPECIFICALLY SAID that they are not going to follow canon but are going to reinterpret everything. Judging the quality of a product by how much it differs from out of print canon is ludicrous in light of the fact that they have said that old canon is not going to be followed. The whole kerfuffle about the City of Brass being the oldest city is a perfect microcosm of the whole thing. If you got into D&D in the past 10 years or less, then Planescape completely doesn't matter to you. Why should we continue to be beholden to material that's been dead and gone for years? Judge the product on its own merits. If it sucks because there isn't enough information, or poorly edited or the art is crap, then fair enough. Books suck. But, claiming it sucks because it ignores Supplement 8321xY page 213 subparagraph 2 is a big pet peeve for me. [/QUOTE]
