[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 8348044, member: 83242"] No worries, I just noticed in another post the Eberron is in its own Prime in 5e, so it seems like the idea of multiple primes still exist. I can see how my attitude could give that impression. Sorry about that, it is not my intent. I will have to think about how to discuss the topic and provide an alternate perspective without being dismissive. I will note that you also treading close to that line as you continue to grapple with the viewpoint that a combined cosmology of some type could be less restrictive. First, I don't see how such a set up is functionally different from what we have now. That is basically what I work with. In my D&D cosmology some worlds are in the same Prime, some are in different Primes. Some of the different Primes are functionally close and others are extremely remote. The only thing that connects all of this together, the various Primes and cosmologies, is the Far Realm / Blind Eternities. The Far Realm is extremely difficult to travel through, even for deities. Therefore, those Primes that are functionally far away (like Eberron, DL, and (even more so) the MtG worlds) are almost completely cut off and their own separate realities. I know this is not the official stance, but I really haven't see anything yet that contradicts this viewpoint (not that I would care I'm using it regardless). I'm not so sure it does. Now it could be the case that I see what I want to see and don't what doesn't work for me, but I have not see anything in a book that suggest this is 100% true. This could be exacerbated by my tendency to assume lore in books is just one possible version/story and not the definitive truth. [/QUOTE]
