[edit] Merger discussion

I believe adding information from this article to the Planescape article would provide context for the Planar Handbook, and add more publishing history to Planescape. Turlo Lomon 07:18, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Actually, this and Manual of the Planes would both be reincarnations of Planescape. -Jéské (v^_^v Kacheek!) 07:30, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Not sure I agree there. Manual of the Planes was originally created before Planescape, and then in the addition after Planescape. It has a long publishing history unto itself. However, the Planar Handbook was basically a Player's Handbook for a Planescape campaign, including faction info, overview of planes in the Planescape cosmology, etc. Am I wrong in this interpretation?

You are because Planar Handbook doesn't have overviews of the planes; Manual of the Planes does (at least in 3E/3.5). -Jéské (v^_^v Kacheek!) 07:42, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

I've got the book at home so I will look at it when I am off work to see what it entails. I may redo/recind this request based on that. Turlo Lomon 08:04, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Same here; I know what I'm talking about. The Planar Handbook simply adds spells, races, planar touchstone sites, and new classes. It doesn't discuss the planes specifically. -Jéské (v^_^v Kacheek!) 08:11, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Oppose. This is completely different. -Werideatdusk33 (talk) 07:27, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Don't merge. Same setting, different system; this is essentially a d20 supplement and it doesn't make sense to merge it into an article based on the older ruleset. Marasmusine (talk) 14:31, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
