So how useful would you say the 4e MotP would be in that situation? How much of it is "general planar material for 4e" as opposed to "specific 4e cosmology"? How much of it is both easy to fit into the old cosmology as well as unique & interesting enough to warrant it?I have no problem tweaking and re-fluffing but considering my 4e library is currently nothing, I'm being kinda stingy in figuring out what to purchase to get started.(Of course, I might forget it and run something else entirely, or my group might still be utterly resistant to 4e... but I figure that if I can run full-theme Planescape in 4e, then it's alright.) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
