Message: <blockquote data-quote="DammitVictor" data-source="post: 8214027" data-attributes="member: 6750908">I try to avoid using them at all, especially in my favorite D&D settings-- Spelljammer and Dark Sun-- to the extent I warn players that they're less accessible and they might not work the way players expect, and really, guys, the campaign's over here... and you've already probably guessed how I feel about that. I don't like the D&D Multiverse, I don't like every D&D setting having a shared cosmology, and I don't like having all of the settings that are already the most alike constantly crossing over.In my own settings... the one that's most like a D&D setting only has Worlds (primes with similar laws of magic/physics) and the Warp Zones which individually function as different mixtures of the Astral and the Far Realm. My wuxia setting, fittingly, has about a billion different Heavens and Hells and a bunch of undefined miscellaneous outworlds; these might individually be named, but they will never be categorized. My space opera has what humans call "Hell", functioning as both the Nine Hells and the Abyss and the Far Realm; there's theoretically a Heaven where the angels come from, but the angels don't want us to find it and the devils hate us more than they hate the angels at this point.</blockquote>
