I've explained it at least twice on this thread already but for your benefit i will do so again.It is UNNESCESSARY for any PS fan to have to explicitly demand that PS be brought back at the expense of the current setting, because it is implicitly AN INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCE that if PS was brought back it would be at the expense of the current setting.Do you understand?To say "sure we want PS to become the "default" setting but that doesn't mean we want to force it on anyone or make them stop producing the other planes stuff" is an absurdity, it is like saying "sure we want the Yes side to win the referendum, but we don't want the No side to lose".  It really doesn't matter whether you want it or not, "berk", if you win, all the non-PS fans lose.You can't have both.  To want PS to be "the" planar line (and there is no other way for Wotc to do it: Wizards cannot afford to have TWO planar lines), is to DE FACTO want PS to be the ONLY planar line.Do you get that now?I don't need to show you any website with a PS fan talking about how much he wants to take away the current Planar setting from its fans, the mere fact that he wants PS to be the official WoTC setting, or published at all, is enough to mean that DE FACTO that is what he wants to see happening.Some people here on Enworld had proposed that Wizards could just make a single one-shot hardcover, or give PS to a third party.  Wizards can't really afford to do either: 1. Doing a one-shot would lead to unimaginable confusion among the fans.  Fans will be wondering why all of a sudden there are all these elements in the planes that weren't in the previous books, and they'll be wondering why these aren't in the future books. You'll essentially be creating two canons that serves no purpose other than to placate a tiny group of hardcore fanboys.2. Contracting out the license would be even worse because then you'd have someone directly competing with Wizards for what is very close to the same setting. Currently other companies do Planar books but none of them are allowed to use sigil, the great wheel, etc etc. If Wizards contracted it out, then they'd have another company directly using the same setting in competition with Wizard's own books.  The only reason Wizards might want to do this is if they were to stop making books on the Planes altogether, which would bring us back to the DE FACTO exclusion of all non-PS fans.Nisarg</blockquote>
