D&D (2024) DMG Chapter Preview: James Wyatt Talks Cosmology

[Parmandur]

James Wyatt talks about Chapter 7 from the new DMG, talking about Cosmology.

Interesting tidbit here, and Wyatt isn't sure if he put thisnin the book or juat the idea in his head: the Shadowfell and Feywild are noy echoes of Material Prine worlds like the Forgettern Realma or Hreyhawk, but wxhoses of the shattered First World. So both Shadowfell and Feywild can cross between different Settings, because they reflect the unbroken world thst prexists the current D&D Multiverse.

That matches my headcanon, so that would be a good choice to include in the book.

It's been mentioned before, but I'll bring it up here for visibility - the para-elemental planes, although not outright removed in 5e, are back to being explicitly different planes and have re-gained the para-elemental name.

That's the Magma-Ooze-Ice-Lightning group, right?

That's the Magma-Ooze-Ice-Lightning group, right?

Traditionally Magma-Ooze-Ice-Smoke. Now Ash has replaced Smoke.

They feature a bit in the Scions of Elemental Evil adventure.

Interesting. Ash use to be one of the negative Quasi-Elemental Planes. So, what happened to Smoke?

It's now the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Vape.

Oh, right. Lightning was Positive-Air, not Fire-Air.

 

[Corinnguard]

Smoke was Fire-Air. Ash is Negative-Fire.
