[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 8506782, member: 18182"] I actually love how gloriously convoluted and complex the D&D cosmology has become over the years. It's wonky, doesn't make sense, and is a mish-mash of ideas from mythology, literature, and philosophy. Love. It. :) However, I do tend to simplify things somewhat in my own campaigns, not that it matters to my players as they are bashing their way through dungeons . . . . the only real change I make is that instead of each plane being infinite in scope and size, they are more bounded and exist within regions. So, I have a "heaven" region where all of the various good-aligned realms exist . . . both together and somewhat separate in impossible geographical relationships. This region blends into others for "hell" (evil), chaos, and law. It doesn't make much of a practical difference, all the same places are there . . . it's just works better in my head. [/QUOTE]
