[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6388510, member: 20323"] Good point about barriers to entry. I think there's a balance to be struck between being designing an intelligent adventure true to the setting & making it accessible to a wider audience of gamers interested in adventuring on the planes. One thought I have is to gradually introduce things, a gatetown and a few factions here, the complexities of portal travel and dead gods there, and so on. Never say never :) I agree it's unlikely with the kind of budget I'd be working with if I did this myself (not to mention all the setting changes I'd need to make to stay OGL-compliant!). Though if it comes to that and the project gathers more momentum besides an ever-growing file on my computer and pages in my sketchbook, I'd be tempted to get in touch with all the original creators, Tony Diterlizzi included. Those guys poured a lot of love into the setting! Right now, given the "pro planar" vibe coming from WOTC and no guidelines about 3rd party material, I'm in a bit of a wait-and-see, though that doesn't stop me from writing :) Some of the artists - besides Tony D of course - I'm interested in are: Robb Ruppel (for the cover), Justin Gerard (possibly for a cover or full page interior), Attila Adorjany & Eoghan Kerrigan (interior art).
