Pope to change D&D cosmology

[Psion]

Best chuckle of this sort I have heard since the Semi-gnolls post.

Sounds like a great high level adventure; disturb the committee before they decide to abolish the material plane....

Sounds like it definitely has a Hitchhikers Guide ring to it. "Why are you complaining about the destruction of your plane now. The plans for it have been on display in the halls of Nirvana for 500 years...

Of course baby heaven is just a bunch of nipples!

That's my heaven too.

The clack in Sigil is that the Slaadi decided to destroy Limbo when they learned that their plane was also a dance. The Lady of Pain would neither confirm or deny this comment.

In other news, posters have appeared in several cities on Toril and Oerth claiming that the multiverse is far stranger than mortals know or can know.


Ssendam and Ygorl released separate statements claiming that the efforts of the slaadi to find a new home were lead by the Hidden Slaadi Lord known as Kermit.

Word is that Kermit's followers have shown up at the Bifrost bridge, seeking some "connection" revealed by their leader in song.

There is also word that Kermit's followers are seeking someone who can guid them to a new plane beyond the commonly accepted cosmology, which may reportedly be merely a small part of a larger whole. There is word that they seek an obscure orcish goddess named Miss Piggy whose cult was described by the sage Roger of Mooria.

Wait. So you're telling me that breasts DO grow on trees? My wife was soooo wrong.

This just in..

Celestial planes, as well as the United States of America, have sealed off their borders to Slaadi refugees.

President Bush was quoted as saying "We just can't support those frog guys with our enconomy out of whack, because it's just not in whack right now."

Thor of the Asgard Pantheon, however, was angry at Odin's decision to follow suite with America, citing that frog legs 'taste like chicken'.

Many Angels and upper-class Americans breathe a sigh of relief, returning to their evil-judging and golf games, respectively.

Meanwhile, Protestant Officials spoke out against the abolishment of Limbo and are threatening to take away Purgatory in retaliation....

I've given up on upper-class Americans learning on how to accurately judge evil. However, for all their wings get in the way, Angels have shown a surprising aptitude at golf.

I, a Catholic D&Der, heartily endorse this product and/or service.

So, if Limbo is abolished, the Slaadi's current residence would be in limbo, yes?

Wait, no!

GAH!

Whah!!!!!

Game with Elves and Dragons, and you are worried about logical coherence.

Yeah -- if your elves and dragons don't logically cohere, the game is less fun.

Wow! I've mentioned the breast tree in about five threads before and nary a bite; now everybody wants one. The guy who took over one of my Vancouver-based campaigns actually ran an Aztec-inspired Planescape thing as the next arc in the campaign, running about 25 episodes I think.

If you're interested in running an Aztec Planescape-style game or just grabbing some good Aztec stuff for Planescape, I recommend Nicholson's Firefly in the Night. Although discredited in that it removes much of the complexity and ambiguity from the real Nahua worldview, it ideally adapts Aztec cosmology into something one can place in a D&D game. It even has diagrams that look surprisingly like something out of the 1E MOTP.
