Planescape Planescape IS D&D Says Jeremy Crawford

Planescape is Jeremy Crawford's favourite D&D setting. "It is D&D", he says, as he talks about how in the 2024 core rulebook updates Planescape will be more up front and center as "the setting of settings".

come on. the minute the devs use the term Multiverse they are opening that door. Problem is some of you are arguing copywright and some of us are pointing out that Multiverse means ANYTHING and EVERYTHING are now part of the game. Both side's are right amd both sides are wrong, and both sides don't exist, because MULTIVERSE

Show me a definition of multiverse from anywhere but this site that says it means literally everything that is or can ever be, real or imagined.

I think you missed the argument going on. Multiverse by definition includes every possibility . no citation needed when using that term.

Even as far back as 1984 (Marvel's Secret War #1), people weren't using it that way:

The concept of "universe" already encompasses everything. Multiverse just describes details of how the universe works.

the people living in the Multiverse of course only know of what they know. and of course the Idea that they had in 1984 isn't the same one they had in the 1930's when atom and flash and other characters could just slip into the macro and miniverse's. But here we are strangely in 2023 where that's exactly what it means in the Marvel universe where we have DC crossover's.

By virtue of everything imaginable being part of the D&D multiverse. The World of Darkness can be imagined, therefore it exists in the D&D multiverse.

The D&D multiverse does not contain everything imaginable. It is a specific setting with specific constraints.

No, that is the argument that’s going on. Some people are trying to use the term multiverse that way, and they are incorrect.

They are not both right. That is literally not what multiverse means.

Mathematically, an infinite set of things does not automatically contain everything in another infinite set of things. Click on the link in my previous post for an article on this topic.

yeah, I saw that, but it is still infinite… that explanation works with numbers, not really with anything else

no universe encompasses everything in this physical universe. Multiverse adds the idea that the Universe has 'other versions, or configurations, or whatever they are that are just as vast but simply different. the original Cosmos or what we now call Universe was presumed to be all the energy and matter we can measure. think of this this way. Our old concept of the universe existing as a flame burning. All we can see and measure is in the flame. The Multiverse is what the flame exists in.
