[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7476527, member: 22779"] Which, to me, would be the best way. Divorce Planescape from the rest of the game, in the same way that every other setting is divorced from every other setting. IF you want to play Planescape, cool, go for it. Just stop forcing every other setting to adhere to Planescape concepts. Nope, not officially. None of the Ravenloft stuff is actually canon in Dragonlance. It's one take, but, sorry, no, Soth never left Krynn according to DL. Krynn was never part of the Great Wheel. That was stuff that was bolted on later. In Krynn, Takhisis is the Queen of the Abyss. There are no other greater beings in the Abyss than Takhisis. At least in that setting. And Hell, and Gehenna and all the rest, never actually existed in the setting. They are never referenced, never appear and are completely absent until retconned in later on when TSR decided to smash all the settings together. Fun story. Not canon. As easily ignored as a couple of mentions of orcs in some of the earlier books. And, even then, who's to say that this is the same Demogorgon that appears in other settings? There's no reason why it would be, unless, of course, you insist on smashing all the settings together. But, it's never presented that way. It is always presented as fact. And it infects every other setting. Thank you for proving my point. You can't actually have devils living under the mountains unless it's mountains in Hell. Which forces every setting to actually HAVE a Nine Hells, whether that setting should have that or not. At this point in time, the two are indistinguishable. The Great Wheel IS Planescape. Has been for decades And that's fantastic. Great for you. I totally understand loving a setting. Wonderful. Just please stop trying to shove your preferences down my throat. You can have your Planescape. Just keep it out of anything that isn't in the Planescape line of products. Or, well, I'll just keep doing what I've always done and completely ignore all the Planescape stuff, which means all the planar material for D&D, and thankfully now I can simply rely on 3pp to give me what I want. I have to admit that PS means that I can easily tell whether or not I want to buy a product. I know that something like Mordenkainen's is a product I will have zero use for, so, I won't buy it. Easy Peasy. [/QUOTE]
