Pope to change D&D cosmology

[Warbringer]

In response, the Slaadi decide to invade the Prime Material plane.

Now there is an excellent idea for a high level campaign.

t is just no longer the default destination of babies and virtuous pagans

After I'm finished with this EN World session, I'm gonna close my browser, take a shower, make myself a nice lunch, and then start a band called The Virtuous Pagans.

I think my brain is bleeding now.

I've mentioned the breast tree in about five threads before and nary a bite; now everybody wants one.

Christmas, you see. The scraggly, dying pine in the living room looks pretty weak by comparison.

In response, the Slaadi decide to invade the Prime Material plane.

"We'll show them who should be abolished," a Grey Slaad was quoted as saying.

"It's Slaad-slaughterin' time!" responded Thog, a half-orc barbarian, when informed of the impending Slaadi invasion. "Human Pope do good to bring Slaad down to Thog!"

This is now a one-shot for my weekly game on Saturday, Olgar. Thank you.

Man, this is almost as bad as when Nirvana broke up.

You rock.

Forget the slaadi. What about the githzerai? Show some love to our favorite kung-fu fighting, githyanki hating, illithid stomping extraplanar humanoids.

That's... a really cool idea, especially for a modern magic setting. 'Theonic Engineering' could create and destroy planes of existance, engineer gods into and out of existance, gather parts of disparate planes into one, break apart the Astral and Etherial (or put up barriers in them). The 're-directing souls' thing is a great idea. They could be used to power the greater rituals once things get of the ground - instead of going to their place of rest, say, all the souls destined for The Seven Heavens end up in a big mason (Or Mason?) jar somewhere, ready to be used as fuel to create a new plane, build a safe pathway throughthe Astral, construct one of those cool Astral Citidals, make a demiplane, etc...

I have been contemplating, for a few days now, the concept of an Experimental Theologian as a character...

Slaadi invasion and High Priests getting together to use their faith in a brand new (and exciting) way! I smell high-end campaign!

This really is the best thread ever.

Interesting stuff. Strange how one guy has the power to change the Multiverse*

As a note, in my understanding, in Eastern Orthodox theology, limbo is a temporary resting area for all souls, waiting for the Ages of Ages when God judges all for eternity (Heaven or Gehenna/Hell). How those souls deal with the Slaad remains to be seen.**



*pffffffft! Who made him DM?
** my guess, a Slaad fork.

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.

Wow. That's an obscure bit of lore. One of my main PCs worshiped a goddess based on that article. That must have been about 20 years ago?
