BlakeRyan,
I found it helpful to think of gehenna, bytopia, etc. as estuaries (between the "big 8" planes) as much as full blown planes in themselves. It makes them more up for grab: boundaries shift easily (ditto the nature of the planes), power converges--new items and races can come from the convergence, souls are up for grab, and even good planes can have intrigue. You could have: Archeron as a heavily patrolled demilitarized zone between Hell and Mechanus, Gehenna as a part of Hell...

I preferred the newer names of Yugoloths, Gehreleths etc. Otherwise, it Demon, Daemon, Demodand, basicly - Demon, Demon, Demon... Anthraxas is a good name, because it makes it sick just hearing it. You know is bad without any explanation. Phraxus could be anything - it could be a new model of car.

Are you saying to ignore players who want modules they can unbolt? I don't have a lot of money, but I'm sitting on a skill system I developed for C & C, and I think it'll fit this game perfectly as long as you can't Feint with a Bluff check.

Zippy, there are spells that bring characters back to life, from old school reincarnation to true resurrection at higher levels to raise dead at lower levels. It was a pain but if you needed to keep plot lines going with certain characters, these were ways to keep them going but also modify them because of setbacks. If the characters always survive, the game is boring. If the PCs always succeed, the success is not that cool. Surviving a killer dungeon with riddles, and interesting traps, and...
