At the moment, the real problem with it isn't the number of dimensions it uses.  To my knowledge, no string theory has ever predicted a thing that we could verify experimentally that cannot be explained by another theory.  This lack of experimental verification is somewhat troubling to many scientists.But, enough digression.  About Eberron's cosmology...I'd expect the short description of each plane to be pretty dull.  Short descriptions don't give much detail.  Remember that a short description of a prime material plane would also be pretty dull, but you can have a whole interesting campaign in one.  It takes an entire supplement to make the standard wheel cosmology start to seem interesting, so I'd expect the same need for Eberron's new cosmology.The thing that annoys me more than anything are the made up names that seem to have little or no connection to the contents of the plane.  Made up names for the sake of having it sound foreign annoy me.</blockquote>
