[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 8277125, member: 59082"] If you have to pick only one. I realize there is overlap, or rather some of them are just different versions of the same thing, so in a way it is more a question of [I]cosmological approach.[/I] I personally like them all, and hope that if--no, [I]when--[/I]WotC finally tackles the planes, they offer chapters on different cosmologies and how to incorporate any and all into your campaign. But if you had to choose just one...or rather, which do you like best? Here are some visual aids (my apologies for the simplicity of the Dark Sun one - it was the only one I could find; it is kind of nice, in a homebrew way, though): [B]Traditional AD&D Cosmology, aka The Great Wheel: [ATTACH type="full"]137076[/ATTACH] Great Wheel, the Planescape variant:[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]137078[/ATTACH] [B]The Realms Cosmology, aka The World Tree:[/B] [ATTACH type="full" alt="1621302282878.png"]137061[/ATTACH] [B]The World Axis (4E Era): [ATTACH type="full" alt="1621302469439.png"]137062[/ATTACH] Mystara Cosmology:[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]137077[/ATTACH] [B]Eberron Cosmology:[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]137075[/ATTACH] [B]Dark Sun cosmology:[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]137080[/ATTACH] [B]Spelljammer, aka Wildspace: [ATTACH type="full"]137079[/ATTACH][/B] [/QUOTE]
