In order to do Planescape the right way it would require having the ability to reference and use material from all of the other various WotC/TSR settings. So you're either going to be paying for multiple setting licenses or doing a half@ssed job; neither of which is an attractice prospect. Thus it hasn't been republished as its own setting (its more a meta-setting in the first place). WotC has carved it up and spread its innards across dozens of books, but they haven't specifically gone and published books specific to the planes of DnD (which Planescape is inextricably linked to, they're one and the same). The best we've gotten was the Manual of the Planes and the Planar Handbook, and that was watered down Planescape and more crunch than not, respectively.Still, looking at the overall spread of material from Planescape that has been scattered about in 3e, there's arguably more Planescape material than Greyhawk material that has seen the light of day.The Kargatane had some good writers, and when SSS got the rights to publish the setting of course they went after some of those writers both to get talent and make inroads with the market of fans that would be buying their books. I don't doubt that if Dark Sun or Planescape was published by a 3rd party that they would look for the people writing for the fan sites for both of those settings.I like to think we've done a decent job on Planewalker. Slowly putting out material on the factions, sites and persons on the planes, a 100 page guide to Sigil, other material added to the site constantly, etc. And winning an Ennie this year for best fansite. We were pleased as punch with that. <img src="http://arcanofox.foxpaws.net/shemmywink.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
