[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9571212, member: 6801845"] If it has to contain everything I would say that it almost needs to be some kind of nexus point, a crossroads of sorts. So not only have relatively easy access to other planes (feywild and shadowfell in particular) but also other worlds. If a new book comes along and introduces a new species, it's not a big deal. It happens all the time. Perhaps a world with different "shards" that occasionally appear. Usually the gateways these shards open up are from somewhere else to the world, but occasionally they go the other way if you want to have people fall into something like Ravenloft or some other module that just looks interesting but doesn't target this new world. As far as magitech I'd forget about trying to mimic medieval Europe but not go as far as Eberron. I'm not convince mageocracies are guaranteed, but that's a whole separate argument. I'm also not sure it would make for enjoyable or relatable world building. [I]Some[/I] rulers could easily be high level casters, but just like most of the most powerful politicians in today's world are not warriors that have led armies having access to powerful spells doesn't automatically give you political influence.
