Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steampunkette" data-source="post: 9028041" data-attributes="member: 6796468">I'm weird in that I like Planes but also I hate planes...Certain planes I like. Having heaven or hell just be "Earth but different" like the Plane of Shadow? Yes, please! Give me a whole Celestial Plane of various worlds spinning in light rather than darkness, each its own special kind of joy. And an Infernal Plane where each world is its own unique hell...But then stuff like... the Elemental Plane of Fire. I hate it. It's so pointless and weird. "The air, the ground, and everything else is fire!" just never felt interesting or engaging to me. Sure, the City of Brass is there (And the Brass is also fire, I guess?) but it's just -dull- as a concept.And then some stuff... it's probably just easier to do a Planet. Or, like, a series of planets. Mechanus, for example, is much more interesting as a group of quasi-borg working outward to try and 'order' the universe... and bumbling the entire way because the universe is too big for anything they do to matter and leads to interesting ideas for breakdown behind them. Pandemonium as a place that was once 'ordered' by modrons but has fallen into screeching chaos without order's steady hand.To me that just feels 'better' and I'm not sure why.As far as combining the Abyss and Hell: Sure. The pro is that you have a hellish plane of constant battle and different forces of law and chaos battling each other for the souls of the damned. Which is something you already have with two different hell-realities, you're just now saying they cohabitate rather than living next door to each other. Works fine.The only significant difference is that when people get randomly assigned to a plane when a Plane Shift or something goes wrong you have to collapse a couple options.</blockquote>
