Permanent Portable Magnificent Mansion?

[Greenfield]

Consider this alternative: A pocket dimension where time flows "normally", but aging is reversed. Each day there is a day here, but the body gets a day younger.

I mean, if you get to define the rules any way you want, why go halfway?

This is the problem though, your body has still aged a year. You return to the Material Plane at the same moment, but your body is older. Do that 50 times, and you've aged 50 years in a second. How does one prevent this?
We need a demiplane where time goes backwards.

You are not aging faster, you are travelling back through time to the same date you entered the portal. Your aging is completely normal. If you want, you can rule that time is slower or faster in the demiplane. You can even have the rate time moves be variable, say based on your mood.

I like the idea of a demiplane's very laws of physics following the moods of the plane's creator. Time could move faster when he is trying to get something done and slower when he wants to relax. The weather could respond to his feelings, creating storms when he is angry and bright sunny days when he is feeling chipper...

I'm trying to envision a sphere 360 feet across with a weather system.

I'm also trying to envision a sphere 360 feet across with a sun, stars, and a night sky. Or even a daytime sky.

Can a I make a demi-plane that incorporates an automatic "Shrink to 1/100th size" on anything that enters, and reverses it as they leave? That at least gives me a few pseudo-miles of space inside.

What happens if you get stuck there and cannot find an exit portal? Do you revert to a fetus at some point?

 

[Greenfield]

Pretty much. At some point you would regress to the point where you couldn't feed or care for yourself. I expect you'd die from that problem long before you reached fetal stage.

The elephant in the room, of course, the issue that nobody wants to mention, is that you could also create your demi-plane so it rains diamonds and rubies, and the ground is made of gold, silver, mthryll and adamantine. Literally unlimited wealth.

Along with eternal youth and fountains that spray the magic potion of your choice, I mean.

But then, those things go without saying.

Exactamundo. A demiplane can be the manifestation of your most creative impulses. You are G-d there...

If you knew how to come and go you could pretty much live forever, erasing the years you spend outside the demiplane, and still gain added mental attribute bonuses for growing older as the years passed. A plane like this would be a major quest for those who fear growing old...

Well, almost. Reversing aging reverses aging. Al aging, all aspects of aging. The modifiers are by age category, so when you lose the age category you lose the modifiers.

But consider this option: Decide when you set up your demi-plane that everything ages at a normal rate, in whichever direction it takes to reach the middle of your species "young adult" age category. So older people get younger but children mature normally.

Add a few conditions: Anyone who dwells here gains 1 stat point in all stats per year.

Now add the previously mentioned size modifier, where anything entering is reduced in size, and anything leaving grows in size. Include spell areas and ranges in the size twist, and make the factor 5280 to 1, just to keep it simple. You world is 360 feet across, if measured from the outside. It's 360 miles across if measured from the inside.

The entire place is under a permanent Plant Growth effect (the "Enrichment" variety, so forests are always lush and crops are always plentiful.

You'll have to plant those forests and crops, stock the streams and lakes with fish and import some wildlife, but you could establish some really nice retirement property there.

Ahh Genesis, one of those spells that causes issues because people don't look at other forms of it.

Sadly, the Spells SRD were not updated with the errata, but the Psionics version was properly detailed as to NOT allow for Time traits, or specialized features (at best you can make simple terrain of hills and valleys of inert dirt).

If you believe the Time side of things is the important one... Why do you care about all of that when, if you follow Greenfield's format, you can just breed an army?

Boon Traps of Create Food and Water for feeding the hungry masses and a constant battle to ensure XP gain. Steal 12 children, lock them in the plane, come back in a day with a Living Construct who can train them. Create another Genesis 180 feet away, and let the magic happen.

As long as you produce wooden weapons and other materials, ship in occasional other items, and keep your Living Construct minions alive the Planes will merge and collide at SOME point (if you use the 'add plane' feature) around 1000 years after the Genesis effect is triggered on the one side. Teach them to battle each other, gain power, create an entire culture...

And you'll have yourself some delightful people to populate your new keeps, who have spent thousands of years being indoctrinated that you are likened unto a GOD.

Slainte,
