[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 9381724, member: 6790260"] Welcome to my world. Half the evil planes are [I]completely indistinguishable[/I] unless people dive deep into the lore. Acheron is probably the only one that really unequivocally stands out from the rest. Elysium, the Beastlands, and Arborea also look literally identical here. Not that I could have told you anything about the differences between them, because [I]those differences have literally never mattered once in my life[/I]. The Great Wheel is incredibly profligate solely to [I]be[/I] profligate. You really don't need 17 motherglubbin' planes. Mechanus, Limbo, the Abyss, the Nine Hells+Acheron (make Acheron's cubes the "shores" of hell, perhaps?), Celestia, Elysium, and Beastlands+Arborea+Ysgard, with Sigil and the Outlands as the "hub" between them, would be plenty. That's less than half the planes shown in the above thing. And most of the cool stuff from the other ones...can just be [I]part of the many layers of the above planes[/I]. After all, the Abyss is nigh-infinite and most of its layers have never been discussed. If you [I]really[/I] need it, smush Carceri+Hades+Gehenna together--the battlefield over which the Blood War is fought, where prisoners are kept, where the land itself is warped and twisted by the horrorshow happening day after day, year after year, century after century.
