[QUOTE="Maldin, post: 2433764, member: 27170"] Yes, the tree vs. wheel really are just two different ways of visualizing a complex multi-dimensional matrix within our (DM or players or PCs or NPCs) puny 3 dimenisionally locked brains. ;-) A tree vs. layered wheel or tesseract will depend on whether you emphasize the geography of the plane or the connecting pathways. Personally, I emphasize the planes and not their access points, so my cosmology is the layered wheel+ (the "+" being the things outside the wheel, such as the elemental planes substructure). And of course, as someone has already mentioned, I consider all sorts of variant views (ranging from partially correct to outrageously wrong) to be the false propoganda taught to prime mortals by their deities (who all have their own personal agendas and reasons for deluding their followers). If anybody is interested in reading a description of how the multiverse came to be (no matter what your cosmological paradigm) and how that explains all the rules of magic and D&D physics, time & space, planar structure, intelligence, deities, elementals, etc., check out my Grand Unified Theory (GUT) on my "Life, the Multiverse, and Everything" page (go to the sitemap for my website [url]http://melkot.com[/url] and click directly to the page). While my own campaign is based in Greyhawk, my GUT can be applied to any cosmology with minor modification, since its real purpose is to explain the rules of any D&D campaign. Denis, aka "Maldin" ============================= Maldin's Greyhawk [url]http://melkot.com[/url] Check out the ton of cool Edition-independent stuff on my website, New Spells, Magic Items, Notoriety, Artifacts, Kyuss, secrets of the Twin Cataclysms, the Codex of the Infinite Planes, the Dreadwood, the cities of Melkot, Greyhawk and Irongate, a Grand Unified Theory for all of D&D, magic and the Multiverse, and much, much more!!
