[QUOTE="Grossout, post: 4014723, member: 45646"] I don't post on here often, as I haven't "gamed" for years, but the more I read about 4E, the more excited I get. I bought both of the preview books and I thought they were pretty cool. But I just finished Worlds and Monsters and I think I've come to a general conclusion about what I [I]dislike[/I] about the D&D universe - I don't like planes. I don't know if its a little too "high fantasy" for me or what, but I think I'd rather just game in one solid world. Maybe some of it is undiscovered, but its all one planet. I guess I don't mind that there [I]are[/I] other planes, after all, devils/demons/gods have to come from somewhere. I just think its a little too "out there" for me to say my character is visiting such a place. I'd rather be able to play my character from levels 1-30, living and fighting on the same plane of existence the whole time. My enemies could still sometimes be demons and such who visit my world, but oftentimes enemies would be NPCs of high level trying to take over the world. I know WoTC would never say you [I]have[/I] to visit other planes during your campaign. I just worry that many of the products/adventures for high level play assume as much. [I]Most[/I] of Worlds and Monsters focussed on different planes. This topic obviously isn't a big deal - I was just wondering if anyone felt somewhat the same. Am I alone here...? [/QUOTE]
