For new players, It's easier to digest especially if you want to adventure them through different aspects in order to open up new ideas on what D&D is. Currently, most newer players think D&D is just Baldur's Gate or the Sword Coast.

I find new players resonant more easily with World Axis because of the mythology aspect.

just wanted to check in make sure you understand that the 5e version of the wheel has incorporated a lot of the world axis cosmology such as: Elemental chaos Feywild Shadowfell Astral Sea - which has dominion similar to 4e (see below) You can see from the image below that various planes are...

This :)

I like the mythology aspect, and its simplicity to break down for new players. Everytime I've tried to explain the great wheel concept to new folks they pretty much glaze over. But if you go with World Axis style... they get it.

I agree with the chaos part wholeheartedly.

I enjoyed Planescape. I never really cared for the 4E mechanics but I did like how the lore and such was written in 4E.

Am I just weird? I'm 57 in March and this summer will mark my 50th year in D&D. I've hated the Great Wheel ever since I can remember. The shift in Cosmology and the addition of the Feywild and Shadowfell in 4e I thought was brilliant. I was disappointed when 5e went back to the Great Wheel...
