You're definitely putting a lot more thought than I would have into it. I rather like the idea of a nuclear bomb simply being "game over" for everyone within a couple miles of the blast. Even powers and demon lords would have cause to fear them.My thinking is that the powers shut advancing worlds off from the rest of the planar cosmology in part because they can become a direct threat to the powers themselves, but mostly because it has the potential to obliterate the balance of power in the planes. If any side, regardless which, gets access to that sort of power, they will dominate their enemies, in turn bringing more followers to their own philosophy, in turn making them yet more powerful.Also, I wouldn't think philosophy and belief enter into the exile at all. If a society continued to grow technologically while at the same time having readily apparent signs of the arcane and divine, there wouldn't be a whole lot of a difference. Rather, it's the fact that the gods abandon the world that causes the world to shift religion and philosophy to a lesser importance.Oh, and just to be clear, I don't plan on spending much time in the actual world that gets brought back. The PCs might take a day trip there as scouts or something, but I expect it to be quickly taken over by someone and then destroyed by that someone's enemies.</blockquote>
