[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6333740, member: 22779"] Now, I'm nowhere near this extreme in my view. I'm not going to quit D&D simply because it uses a bunch of Planescape canon. Since that pretty much only applies to planar creatures, the simplest solution for me is to not use a lot of planar creatures. Not a huge deal and certainly not a deal breaker. Losing a large handful of monsters out of the massive pot that is D&D monsters isn't terribly difficult for me. Never was anyway. And, Yaarel, I'm sorry, but the base system should not be terribly helpful in letting you completely reimagine the game. This isn't GURPS or Savage Worlds or FATE. D&D isn't a generic system. I might not like one part of the pizza that is D&D, but, that doesn't mean that I think that you should be able to make Chinese pot stickers out of it without a lot of work on your part. D&D is a lot of things, but, that setting you are talking about isn't something that D&D has ever supported out of the box. There is no reason to think that 5e would be any different. People really need to let go of this idea that "5e is inclusive" means "5e supports anything I can think of". If you couldn't (easily) do your campaign world in any edition of D&D, you won't be able to do it easily in 5e. [/QUOTE]
