[QUOTE="Cyan Wisp, post: 8121373, member: 38623"] What a great read! Well done, folks. This unbridled imagination is why I love D&D and, in particular, Planescape, so much. I have to say, though, there is a dark quality to most of these! Nothing wrong with that, by the way, I love me some Grim. I'm going to attempt some lighter, marshmallowier planes. I would have thought of cool names, but I loved the idea of “Wall”, so… [B]Stars: [/B]In an octarine void, bathed in a marinade of gentle melodies and soaring alien symphonies, float the Stars – two-dimensional pentacles of light, some ridden by wide-eyed spectrum-washed beings agape with ecstasy.
