[QUOTE="Psion, post: 2182168, member: 172"] Don't get me wrong here. I know I can't make anyone like anything they don't, but there seem to be a few foregone assumptions about what the planes must be like, and are avoiding the planes because of it. Perhaps if you realize that there is more to planar gaming than the Great Wheel, more people would try it. Some of you that are thinking of the planes strictly in terms of the Great Wheel might consider the likes of Elric instead. Planescape was set primarily in the outer planes. I don't think that's unmanageable, yet many people profess not liking the feel that if you march three days [i]that way[/i] you'll end up on Zues' doorstep. Okay, I can't question your feelings on the issue even if I don't share them. But here's the thing: Not all planes are homes to gods. [i]Beyond Countless Doorways[/i] doesn't have any planes that house deities (though the Ten Courts has the lords of each court, but they are not deities.) [i]Classic Play: Book of the Planes[/i] has a few classical heavens and hells, but also has planes like Mal, that are simply meant to be explored and be a challenge to the players.
