[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 4812991, member: 2205"] In other words; "I like Planescape a lot, and I don't like how they aren't using it specifically." You sound like you're trying to make an attempt at objectifying your tastes, but really... that's just your taste. It's not true that Planescape is an objectively better cosmology than other alternatives. It's not true that the current set-up "has no history." It's not true that there are no longer shared assumptions that gamers across the globe can all use. None of those things are true. The only thing that's true is that there a superficial resemblance to Planescape has been removed from the existing 4e core cosmology. As someone who's [I]not[/I] much of a fan of the Great Wheel and how tied it is to the bizarre and clunky nine point alignment system, and a host of other D&Disms that I neither want nor support in my own games... I think it's a good move. In fact, they didn't divorce themselves [I]enough[/I] from the past in terms of cosmology. So, clearly YMMV. And when that happens, you can bet that for all your attempts at objectification, you're really just talking about "this is what I like just because I like it." [/QUOTE]
