[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 8872882, member: 326"] Hey Beefy amigo! :) Cool. Entropy being analogous for a universal cancer means that it grows by virtue of other realms succumbing to it. But certainly there is a tangible malaise and apathy congruent with that dimension. I don't want to give too much away yet but in my version 'Byss' is primarily the physical border between Entropy and Reality. That's where stuff actually still happens - albeit by these crazy new monsters and factions I'll talk about in the book. It makes sense for each dimension to up the ante and the power level. In some ways think of the dimensions as a massive kosmic dungeon. Moving from one to the next is like going deeper into a classic dungeon. The threats are increased, but so to, the rewards. Certainly the outer planes or wherever can have hostile inhabitants who are dangerous. But I think that is different to the dimension itself being hazardous to the health of immortals. Plus when you think about it logically, gods would not choose to dwell in places where they were not top of the food chain. They would not dwell in places where they were under threat all of the time. So the Far Realm may be an interesting place for powerful immortals to go adventuring. But they would have to be mad to try and live there. I don't think there is a right or wrong way of structuring the outer planes any more. I do like the streamlined simplicity of the 4E model where the Astral is the home of the gods (and devils), whereas the Elemental Chaos is the home of the Primordials (and Demons). But at the same time I always loved the Great Wheel, especially for the lower planes. Either way I am sort of leaving out the Astral/Outer Planes and Elemental/Inner Planes from my new Kosmos Chapter. To explain, I don't mean 'leaving out' as in they don't exist. I mean leaving out in terms of they have been so thoroughly explored that I really don't need to further write about them in my material. At least not beyond the bare basics. Whereas places like Byss, the Far Realm and the six other dimensions I WILL be detailing, are either completely new concepts or conventionally misunderstood places (like the Far Realm). [/QUOTE]
