[QUOTE="Varianor Abroad, post: 1708006, member: 12425"] I did this a year before BCD for a campaign that spans multiple worlds, using cosmic Ways that crisscross throughout the universe. That approach isn't as applicable to planar conjunctions, since all Lands only connected to the Ways. What I've thought about for a BCD-style waxing and waning set of planar conjunctions was two ideas. The first (so-so) involved twelve planes set up to reference the zodiac. Go check the horoscope on game night. Houses in the ascendant are waxing planar conjunctions. The waning ones are the opposite. The current zodiac plane is in very close contact with all other planes for it's month. The second (better?) idea that popped into my head was also tied into the nature of magic. There are magical Flows in the cosmos between the planes. Planes pick up affinity to a certain type of magic. They get attracted to other "opposing" planes and drawn towards each other. En route, they can pass close to similar-affinity planes that repel them, sending them onto new courses. I like this theory better, but I'd have to sit down and decide on which planes to use to get a working model together. Someday.... [/QUOTE]
