[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7754858, member: 6895991"] Two things came to my mind, I like to hear your thoughts on this: Ravnica - guilds Planescape - factions Can this material be used to substitute a new planescape adventure? The idea sprang into my mind when someone wrote angels and demons are common sight in Ravnica? Also world spanning city: I have only seen one city where this makes sense in any meaningful way: Sigil. It makes sense because it is limited in size somehow, supplies come in from different planes so no problem here. Ravnica otoh that seems a bit unbelievable, make cities as large like Sao paolo combined with some other metropolis maybe increase that by factor 5 that might work. Imagine a city with say 50-100 million inhabitants, you could make that work in a setting with logical consistency, no matter what magic / roof gardenfood or whatever shenanigan to feed the populace. BUT: Even this 100 million people city will not take up much space on the map. Check out some megacities with google maps, they take less area than you might think. A metropolis and its surrounding space with suburbs IRL is normally an area which fits in a circle of 30-50 km diameter max. Take that by five and it will be a circle 100 km diameter approx. This is 7850 squarekilometres . Earth surface is 510 000 000 squarekilometres! That is 64000 of your megacities! with 100 km diameter and 100 million people each! That means 64 000 *100 000 000 people total which is approx. 1000 x the existing IRL earth population and earth is considered overpopulated with its IRL population. Even if there are big areas of water involved the and the factors in my computation are reduced by a factor of ten or 50 this still does not make for a good explanation how this should work. [/QUOTE]
