I like the idea of the Angels being the creatures that spontaneously arose or were created when the universe and therefor the LG and NG planes they originate from ( I may be mixing pathfinder and DND here) or by the Actual Creator of the Universe (assuming the game has one). who are simply a...

that's true but the planescape boxed set is too much like the white wolf game all dark and dreary. It really does a terrible job of showing the true variation of the individual planes and focused too much on sigil and the lower planes.

I do have a problem with how much angels overpower everything else. You could do that, buff things like Valkeries or other servants of the local diety, or maybe the Angels don't all serve the same gods...Plus you'll have demigods, Giants, mythical creatures and those high level adventurers...

in fact read the Broken Sword by Poul Anderson. This is the Aesir and the Vanyr gods who would live on the same plane fighting thier endless fight through mortal and fey proxies on the mortal realm mostly. This is a great example of two CG pantheons not getting along.

And I didn't say CE viking population. I said a CG population that idolizes combat and warfare as the epitomy of all that is good............Might not be the Christian good, but it was the Viking Good. CG is a very scary alignment. If killing everyone is the bigger good then it's just...

Really you think all the vikings leaving the mini ice age to get food and money for thier families were evil? Probably not. Also Odin's perspective on what's good and Zeus's perceptions on what's good and your perception on what is good is probably 3 different opinions on the subject...

logically proving a negative would be quite the rewrite of logic.

I never saw those. That's interesting

AThas Athas 2nd edition was not connected to the Ethereal Plane. It was in some way out of phase and totally unreachable from the greater DND cosmology and gods. Why was never explained. It may just be that's where it was created or it may have been moved there by the great civilization of...

Dont forget Barrier Peaks in Greyhawk. There is a crashed high tech spaceship there. Expedition to Barrier Peaks was the module. It had some really viscous charts for figuring out things like Grenades. You could roll badly and pull the pin and watch it blow up in your hand.

technically Gamma World was an alternate earth and the egyption civilization in forgotten realms came from earth so probably. I can't imagine they'd ever do a supplement of it but there are some easy to miss references that hint that Forgotten realms is connected to earth somehow.

or evil demons have infiltrated the Happy hunting grounds working thier way towards Valhall trying to steal Odin's spear to use it on Asmodeus. Hercules falls in love with a valkary and Odin and Zues go to war over who gets to keep him. basic motivations are the same out there you just lose...

every zone of the upper planes is full of people living the afterlife from each era. I wonder how well the Vikings get along with the English they warred with in the 13th century in the plane of CG? Lot's of shorthand there if you step back and remember the entire reason for the plane is to...

I don't know where 5e rules are on switching vision but I do still enforce blindness for a round or two if you are using darkvision and someone lights the area up. I don't know of any animal that can see in the dark that isn't jacked up by bright light so I'll always do the same as DM if...

you can hide or stealth against darkvision. (leaving invisibility out entirely here). No reason you can't scout even if you dont' have darkvision and they do. Rolls would suck but you could very quietly and slowly slip past someone with dark vision. They can still be distracted, sleepy,or...

My take: (note in my experience CG can be just as scary an alignment as CE or CN. Doing the right thing without regard for other people's reality is quite disruptive even when good is the intent. and LE played intelligently is very often taken for a G alignment. While LN played harshly is...

So if you look at what is in the upper planes. You have less than 1% of it mapped out. Nothing says it's full of Angels who span the entire plane, (or devils, etc, etc depending on plane). you can take nearly any animal or monster out of the books and apply an appropriate template and boom...

I don't think it's enough different for it to be a problem for DM or Player. It's like a game with well crafted table rules.

on both sides DM and player.....

I agree to a point. Dark vision doesn't let you see past the limit of it's vision. Unlike your normal vision. imagine the world if everything at 30ft, 60ft or 90ft was just hidden behind a black inky wall. If you couldn't see more than two or three houses down your street, or even driving...
