I'm no big fan of the Great Wheel, because I find it too symmetric in its urge to squeeze the whole neatly sliced alignment system into drawers. In this regard, I prefer the new FR cosmology, although it does not mean that I use it as written.On the other hand, I really like the Manual of the Planes; it's one of my favourite D&D books, and I don't see it devaluated by any of the other publications. Not even the descriptions of the planes are really lost, because they can be recycled for other places in my own cosmology. I like to mix and match, and I prefer "my otherworlds" <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=";)" /> to be in a flow, anyway. If a player states that the place I just describe should be Hades and that that particular stone, according to the book, should lie five feet further to the left, it's his problem and not mine <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />. This means, I can use both printed cosmologies together, without much headache.As far as my original question is concerned, it still seems to be a near perfect 50:50 split between the old original grey box and the 3E campaign setting. That's a very interesting result <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.</blockquote>
