That's not necessarily a bad thing, but when they're also your target audience...PS fans would, in general, expect everything to be the same but have slightly new rules. Most old setting fans, I think, would want the same. Trying to incorporate clerics into Dark Sun in Dragon Magazine promoted outcries a-plenty, IIRC. Making a Planescape without a missing layer of Arborea and a clockwork Mechanus filled with Modrons would be tantamount to heresy there too, I'd imagine.And, personally, I'd have much more confidence in "4e-ifying" the setting from the crack web teams of things like PS and DS than I generally would from WotC anyway. I mean, they put out the Planar Handbook, one of the stinkers of 3e....It could have worked for 3e. Enough tidbits were around to let you know the Great Wheel was still the Great Wheel, and 3e would have done well to explore it as one of those iconic urban D&D landscapes. I'd LOVE for it to work in 4e. But knowing what we do now, it would either require (1) ignoring the CORE setting in favor of the Great Wheel, which is less meaningful if it's not attached to an expansive Prime that includes the core setting, or (2) using Sigil and changing it for "points of light." But that's all speculation. Either way, I don't think it's high priority for Wizard's when they have a chance to drive up interest by running a Setting Search every few years online. I know *I'll* have a PS4e campaign, regardless of what they do. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />In fact, I think I would adore a chain of books on the "iconic" D&D cities, including Sigil and Greyhawk and Waterdeep and Sharn and other great urban centers...but then, I'm a huge fan of urban fantasy. <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>
