It's hard to have a campaign centered around (players) making the hard moral choices when all choices are ultimately equal. Planescape's conceit is the utilization of the planes as the stage for the players' actions; if all perspectives are not valid, then the stage tilts, perhaps permanently. That's a Big Deal. That's the underpinnings of reality that are changing.I think that's perhaps part of my disinterest in Planescape: the stage is so large the characters, by contrast, are always tiny, and the amazing becomes commonplace.I think I would enjoy PS more if there were different levels of conflict; if "mortal" planar denizens contested with other mortal denizens, trying to carve out space for themselves in the middle of warring undying petitioners, while angels and demons clashed over both of them.  The presumed grandeur of the Outer Planes loses something when you can walk into a bar and find a planetar and a slaadi playing at darts (well, the planetar is playing darts. The slaadi is playing at toasters and pretzels and does-the-halfling-fit-into-a-mug).There is an abundance of that.</blockquote>
