What I was trying to say was that the proverbial writing seemed to be on the wall for what would happen if such a revamp happend.All things Planescape deal with the core cosmology, but not all things dealing with the core cosmology are about Planescape.That being said, I felt this was a case where a cosmology discussion warranted mention of the setting; since something as integral as they way they're setup seems to mandate that all aspects of that cosmology be looked at, and PS is too large to ignore in that regard. You can't have a major alteration to the cosmology and not have it affect that campaign setting, in other words.I guess I just don't see these as being problems. How many DM's had to deal with a character who did fly up in the air as high as possible? Is there anything really wrong with letting the character do that, since nothing's there? Heck, what's to stop them from doing that on the material plane (and head out into space)? This just isn't something so crippling to a campaign.I guess I just don't see infinity, in this regard, as being that troublesome...the other things you mentioned I responded to in my first post.A lot of this thread has spilled over into being about WotC.  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /> The point I was trying to get across was that I viewed Dungeon and Dragon as being the last really official place for new material on old campaign settings (again, official fansites notwithstanding). However, after feeling burned on SJ, and somewhat burned on DS (honestly, the fact that Dave Noonan's article sounded better and it was edited into something not as good is what hurt the most), I'm now feeling lukewarm to even the idea of the magazines trying to reintroduce an old campaign in anything other than bits and pieces (because the bits and pieces articles, such as Al-Qadim's Sha'ir, were great) which is really a shame, because I want to be excited and not anxious when I hear you guys are going out on a limb with something so bold and overarching in regards to the settings that I miss.Seeing you calling for a complete overhaul of the cosmology now has me out-and-out worried that if you guys ever did a PS reintroduction, it'd have revisions (or perhaps edits to someone else's relatively faithful conversion) that'd make it practically a different animal.</blockquote>
