[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 6355641, member: 11697"] [URL="http://imgur.com/a/W5BQl"]http://imgur.com/a/W5BQl[/URL] It looks like a lot of the Great Wheel with some elements of the 4e World Axis put in. It isn't perfect, but I can work with this, and would happily write for it given the opportunity. I really dig the incorporation of the 2e Planescape symbols for the various outer planes, that's a surprise to see, and it made me smile. While I can appreciate the 3.x simplification of the Astral/Outer and Ethereal/Inner split as regarding transitive planes, 5e going back to that system is again a surprise and something that's kinda cool to see. As possibly the internet's biggest fan of yugoloths, it makes me so so so so so incredibly happy to see Gehenna, the Waste, and Carceri back rather than the 4e Blood Rift. I wouldn't have included as many 4e elements (quite possibly none of them to be honest), I would have handled 5e tieflings in a -much- more inclusive way rather than inexplicably making them devil-blooded only and thereby completely excluding 2e/3e style tieflings, and I still don't like the name Shadowfell rather than the Plane of Shadow... but I think that I can live with it. I'm also rather pleasantly amused to see the 5e Feywild and Shadowfell as Material plane reflections between the Material plane and the Positive and Negative energy planes, which is exactly how Pathfinder's cosmology has handled its own fey realm of the First World and its own Shadow Plane. More reactions once I get my hands on a copy (and if for instance anyone has a physical copy of the book and finds out more details on anything specific, lemme know). [/QUOTE]
