I'm afraid I don't recognize the names of the other people you listed, but I'm sure they're just as dedicated and hardworking as those mentioned above.In answer to your last question, a project like this will likely never be complete.  It's hard enough to get people to meet deadlines when you pay them...quadruple the time when people are designing and editing for free.  This project started right after 3E debuted, and we're just now seeing the fruits of fandom labor.  Some people have real jobs that draw them away from the project (like me), while others find their design talents better suited for commercial aspects (like Brannon).  Still others simply get tired and quit.  C'est la vie.Check out what they've got on planewalker.com so far...the races, skills, and feats are all up, so you can certainly start up a campaign.  Until the "official" version of the factions is released, try using my prestige classes to tide you over...track down a back issue of Dragon #287 for six of them, then follow the link in my signature for the rest.  Yes, there will be prestige classes in the Planescape 3E version but no, that is not the mechanic decided to handle the factions.  You'll just have to wait and see.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
