It simply came across as too simplistic. I felt it had its place, and made for a great story, but not for a great setting or great game. It reduced the options for planar politics, and was a bit too absolute for my tastes. I liked the concept of it, basically, but not the execution.  As it is, I rather like the idea of it having been there in the past, but being currently 'on hold'. Having that simmering tension there, just below the surface, seems filled with story possibilities. In my current game, the PCs have a few tentative alliances with devils. If their missions take them and the devils into the Abyss, can they accomplish their goals without accidently reigniting the Blood War? That's a more interesting question to me than simply having them there to observe - or attempt to survive - an eternally ongoing conflict.</blockquote>
