Or maybe TSR wanted Interplay to use their existing D&D setting to drive up book sales, not invent their own. I bet you're not even arguing in good faith.

That's a good point with TSR. It's almost true and I give you that point. "Chris Avellone: Boring answer, but here it is: Interplay had the license [ ...] The setting and engine was dictated to us" src (small sidenote: TSR was bought by wotc in 97, game was released in 99, so tsr was on its deathbed and didn't have any say in anything).

I definitely argue in good faith that Chris Avellone is overhyped.

Since you love PS:T so much, what about Tides of Numenera? Why is Avellone's work in Cook's universe not praised as much as Avellone's work in Planescape?

edit:

that rpgwatch article is a really good source. It links to Ravel_First_Draft.doc written by Avellone which has 19 pages. The Ravel_Final.doc has 124pages and Avellone states in the interview that it was written by others. Not saying he isn't a good lead designer/writer, but most of his accolades is coming off the work of others.
