I remember a lot of threads where people asked for resources, ideas, and inspiration for planar campaigns, and lots of folks -myself included- gave them lists of various Planescape books/pdfs when relevant to the particular sort of campaign they were trying to run. I can't think of a single instance when someone with a homebrew cosmology had anything try to force them into using the Great Wheel. And I've never seen any antipathy towards campaigns like started out using a cosmology distinct from the Wheel (like Eberron). The only friction I recall was directed against instances where a campaign setting previously using the Great Wheel was retconned into something different (like FR), and in those cases I think the rancor was directed not at all against the idea of settings using different cosmologies, but against forced retcons. If I ran Eberron for instance, I wouldn't try to force fit it into using the Great Wheel - I'd use its own cosmology, and I think the retcon it appears to have looming on the horizon is a bad thing (and I'd say the same if that 4e cosmology retcon was going to place it into the Great Wheel cosmology).As for alluded rage against anyone using something other than a canonical Planescape setup for a campaign's cosmology, well the Planescape mafia is going to have to come after me, because my home campaign is not in any way using the Wheel as written. I've got my own spin upon the original 2e material, and I happily included a number of the 3e changes to the setup. And of course, there's the <a href="http://paizo.com/pathfinder/pathfinderChronicles/v5748btpy84bb" target="_blank">Great Beyond</a> for Paizo that's very much its own thing. Oh yes, I'm obviously demanding people use the Great Wheel as written in Planescape and never straying into any alternate cosmologies at all. Only a jerk would design something different for a new campaign setting.
