[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9576366, member: 7006"] That is an interesting way of looking at it... Limbo being the planar "doorway" to the alternative metacosmos of the Far Realm. It actually makes a little more sense in that way... because the Material Plane does seem to be a little too low-key to survive actually being connected [I]directly[/I] to the Far Realm. Like there should be a buffer between this metacosmos of madness and us poor shmucks on the Material Plane. Heck, we don't even connect us with our own Outer Planes directly, we have to go out via the Astral Plane to get there. But by that same token... if the Far Realm is an entire alien metacosmos separate from our D&D Multiverse that seeps through Limbo... it makes one wonder whether there are other metacosmoses that seep through the other Outer Planes? A Far Realm of pure alien order that connects through Mechanus, a realm of ultimate alien good through Elysium, and a realm of alien evil through Hades? Of course... now that I say all this... it makes me again wonder why Mechanus, Elysium, Limbo, and Hades would need to play second-fiddle to these metacosmoses? Why can't they just be their own ultimate versions of Law, Good, Chaos, and Evil, rather than needing to go [I]beyond[/I] them, LOL? Thus I end up right back at my original question... why isn't Limbo good enough to be the premiere realm of chaos and madness-- alien or otherwise? Feels like we're kicking Limbo in the shins for no good reason. ;) [/QUOTE]
