[QUOTE="Asmor, post: 4739966, member: 1154"] There isn't a "world of Magic: The Gathering" any more than there's a "world of Dungeons & Dragons." Dominia is a multiverse with countless planes. There's sort of a "core group" of planes which interacted in an overarching story for a long time. Specifically, Dominaria was the original setting of Magic in 1993 and featured heavily in the game's storyline through the release of Scourge, 10 years later. That storyline also included Phyrexia, Rath, and some others I don't know off the top of my head. However, the very first expansion for Magic, Arabian Nights, took place in the plane of Rabiah which had no ties at the time and as far as I'm aware has never been revisited since. Mirrodin was only tenuously connected to the events in Dominaria (a dominarian planeswalker named Karn planted the seeds of Mirrodin). Ravnica and Kamigawa are completely unrelated with each other or any other planes. I don't know anything about the planes of the most recent sets, Lorwyn and Alara, but I'm pretty sure they're largely independent as well. Dominaria and Lorwyn are largely "traditional" fantasy settings. Ravnica is a planet covered entirely by a massive city. Mirrodin is a world where everything is partially mechanical, and even the seas are made of quicksilver. Kamigawa is an oriental fantasy, Rabiah is Arabian fantasy. On top of that, the planes are not necessarily static. Mirage took place on Dominaria, but on a continent known as Jamuraa which was based heavily in African imagery and lore. The Ice Age block took place during, well, a magical Ice Age on Dominaria, and feel wise it was very different from the normal Dominaria. So what I'm saying is there's quite a bit of variety there. Personally, I'd welcome a book based on a Magic setting, but I believe they've said in the past that that's never going to happen. Particularly, I'd like to have a Brothers War-era Dominaria setting or a Ravnica setting. I've even gone so far as to adapt some Magic things to D&D, specifically [url=http://www.encounteraday.com/tag/magic-the-gathering/]slivers and the Ravnican guilds[/url] Pray tell, what specific objections do you have to a setting based on any of the Magic: The Gathering planes? Assuming your revulsion is anything other than a kneejerk reaction. [/QUOTE]
