D&D (2024) Check Out The New Map Of D&D's Planes!

Snapped from the Barbarian video.

If some one (Henadic Theologian) comments that a map indicates the geography shown on that map is "too samey" then its seems to me that a perfectly legitimate response by @Tonguez is to point out that indeed the lore suggests their geography is very similar. What, in your mind, should have been the appropriate response?

I changed it in celebration of the Voidrunner's Codex (I love robots). I'll change it back when the Kickstarter ends.

While that's fair, it doesn't explain why the literal prison plane is Chaotic.

My thought has been that Carceri is a prison like Pandemonium is an asylum.

It's not about breaking the law, it's about exerting power over others. Not a modern prison, just a hole in the ground to dump the multiverse's malconents, where they can all hurt each other instead of the rest of existence.

Pretty much - it's not really a prison with wardens, per se.

Carceri is difficult to leave even for people just passing through, and those creatures properly "imprisoned" there are magically bound to the plane in a way that makes leaving functionally impossible.

Prisoners are free to do whatever they like, from murdering each other en masse to ruling over their own petty kingdoms. They just can't get out of Carceri.

Who do we ask for help when we don't know which way to go?
You have to say "The Map!" say "The Map!"
"Louder! - I think you have to say it again!"

Yes, this is a magic item with some downsides when you are trying to stealthily navigate your way through a dungeon without alerting the monsters.

Nothing makes me feel like an old hand in this forum when I not only notice, but have opinions about, users changing their avatars.

I wonder how would be the demiplane of Dearthdark (Dragonlance: Wild Elves) if a planar gate was opened toward the Athasian Tablelands(Dark Sun).

What planes from the cosmology of Magic: the Gathering could be added to D&D? For example if Ravnica is a megacity, other planets in the wildspace could be focused to the farming.

I miss new elements. I bought Manual of the Planes and Planar Handbook in the 3rd Age. Then I don't want to spend my money to read again the same lore. And this can be read freely in the fandom wikis.

Zagyg could create a new demiplane, style Ravenloft of Witchlight, but focused into comedic parodies style Castle Greyhawk.

I actually like the picture itself and the graphical style but... other than using it as a poster or on a t-shirt, I wouldn't know what to do with it.

If I was doing a cosmology based off of MtG, I'd probably combine and symplify:

W -- Astral Sea
U -- Mechanus
B -- Shadowfell
R -- Elemental Chaos
G -- Feywild

WU -- Sigil & The Outlands
UB -- The Far Realm
BR -- The Abyss
RG -- "Prehistoric World" echo plane
GW -- Arcadia
WB -- The Nine Hells
UR -- Ethereal Plane
BG -- Underdark
RW -- Wildspace
GU -- "Future World" echo plane

RG -- "Prehistoric World" echo plane[...]
GU -- "Future World" echo plane

Personally, I love the option of "Blobby Plane of Goodness" and "Blobby Plane of Badness" and that would be it. Because, frankly, that's effectively what the Great Wheel is. You can talk all you like about how all these different planes serve different purposes, but, at the end of the day, they don't. They're all pretty much entirely superfluous.
