[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 1668546, member: 11697"] I can't honestly say that I consider myself one of the old guard Planewalkers. I was new to DnD in 3e and only discovered Planescape after it had already been folded back into the main DnD line (aka abandoned largely). I'm the person they should be trying to cajole into their new planar material, but it doesn't work when I've seen the older material and enjoy it orders of magnitude more than anything that's been published in 3e. Yes the ruleset for 3e is much, much better, but it lacks the soul it used to have before I'd picked my first 3e book. *sigh* I've gotten my own gaming group addicted to Planescape (under 3e rules) and all of them are new to DnD in 3rd ed except for one of them. And you know what? They've bought perhaps two or three books amongst them in the past year that weren't novels because of the perceived drop in quality. More PrC's, ECL +0/+1 races, reprinted templates, etc doesn't make them want to spend the money for a book when they're well accquainted with the quality that has come before and has since ceased to exist by and large except for glimmers for a few select authors who have done their best to tease our appetites (but it's not enough).
