[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7946751, member: 20323"] Huh. My impression – that it is the same Astral Plane for all campaign settings – came from the [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JHyJj8C21c&feature=youtu.be']Sage Advice on Planes and Worlds 7/23/18[/URL]. So you don't have to watch the whole 45 minute video, Greg Tito opens with a question (paraphrasing): [I]So is it the same Nine Hells for all of these worlds? How does it work?[/I] 12:30 Jeremy Crawford: [I]The way we present the core books for D&D is totally Planescape. It's just core now... ...and one thing we talk about, not only in books people have now but in D&D books stretching back decades, is that people in different worlds can imagine these planar relationships in different ways and might even have different names for them.[/I] 17:30 Jeremy Crawford: [I]Let's talk about the worlds within the Prime Material Plane.[/I] [I][B]I often get asked are all the worlds in the same universe?

I haven't run or read the whole 19-adventure Scales of War path, just Siege at Bordrin's Watch (one of the early adventures), Tyranny of Souls, and then the final adventure Last Breath of the Dragon Queen.
