[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 4577579, member: 22779"] Shemeska, almost every single post you've made about planar material for the past year as it regards 4e has been negative. "They've ruined Yugoloths" "They're graverobbing the setting" "Why can't they be original" on and on. It's the same as listening to Nightfall going on and on about Scarred Lands. Yes, I get that you are a HUGE Planescape fan. I understand that. I also know that you know far and away more about PS than I will ever know. I accept that perfectly well. But, when the developers FLAT OUT STATE that the 4e version of the planes is NOT a rehash of earlier edition, but a reinvisioning, judging it based on earlier canon is ridiculous. It's like saying that Smallville sucks because it changes Superman canon. Or Casino Royale sucks because it changes Bond canon. Or saying that the Savage Tide sucks because it places the Isle of Dread in Greyhawk and changes a large amount of the island's history. It can't change canon. It's part of a separate canon that's inspired by similar sources, but, while it might borrow names and whatnot, isn't linked in any way, shape or form to earlier canon. Judge it based on what it is rather than trying to tie it to something that it was never meant to be. [/QUOTE]
