A Lecture on the Birth of Universes

[Tsillanabor]

It is my understanding that there is only one Prime Material Plane, but there may be multiple Material Planes.

Quasqueton

Heh-there are multiple Material planes. Whatever plane the writer lives in mysteriously becomes the 'Prime' Material plane. I call them collectively the Prime Material planes to distinguish them from the Materium. Each Prime can consist of several sub-planes, in which case the primary plane would be the 'Prime.'

You, sir, are a genius! And you have caused my brain to function at more than idling capacity (which doesn't happen often in this country). I salute you!

Of course, in my own D&D cosmology, it's actually the plane of Shadow in which all cosmologies coexist like apples in a barrel (or in my own words, like islands upon an infinite sea). But your post is something I can take with only slight alteration and actually present to the PCs as text right out of a book their PCs find fragments of. This is great!

Thanks.

I respectfully disagree.

Since we deal in theoretics, there is room for disagreement.

there is room for disagreement.

Utterly reasonable.

 

[Tsillanabor]

Having read your theory, I believe that there may be more similarities than you might realize. Consider the following:

What about things beyond the comprehension of mere material creatures? What about the creatures so bizarre that our very minds would shatter to conceive of them? While I believe that the Spirit (sometimes known as Outer) Planes are created in a similar manner to your theory, what is the impetus to the creation of the Prime Material Plane? Where do the Elemental, Positive Energy, and Negative Energy Planes fit in?

Hmmm... perhaps our threads should merge... easier than posting to two different threads, eh?

Hooey. It's turtles all the way down.

This gives me a great idea for a really bad adventure...

 

[Tsillanabor]

Probably-anyone want to do that for us?

 

[Tsillanabor]

btw-I was thinking of adding the question and answer session to the appropriate page on my wiki site (see sig). Would any of you mind? I won't use names (unless you have one you want me to use, of course).

 

[Felix]

Ok by me. Names that is.
