[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6397266, member: 22779"] I was trying to think of good examples of what I meant and I remembered I actually own Fiendish Codex II - Tyrants of Hell. Now, it's a fantastic book. Well written and absolutely dripping with flavour. It's a great setting sourcebook. But, that's the thing, it's a setting sourcebook. It does exactly what Kamikaze Midget talks about - it is very broadly definitional. It tells you in no uncertain terms who lives where and what those places look like. There's no suggestions in the book, it's stating exactly what the setting looks like. Sure, it doesn't define 100% of the planes, but, let's face it, at this point it's The Planes Setting that is being talked about. For me, what I want is a planar guide to Hell that says, "Ok, look, we got 9 infinite planes, but, feel free to mix and match what you want. Here's a couple dozen things you could likely expect to find when sauntering about the Hells, again, feel free to pick and choose." IOW, I want a resource book, not a setting guide. [/QUOTE]
