[QUOTE="jasper, post: 2186311, member: 277"] Millions of Tanar'ri and Baatezu swarming like red and black ants across the ashen, bleak landscape of Oinos, living and dying under the shadow of the Wasting Tower of Khin-Oin, a 22 mile high citadel carved from the spine of a god. Shapeless, formless entities locked within the ice of Cania or swimming unseen beneath the bottomless mire of Minauros… Cool Hey Dm Shemeska do you have a map of the citadel? No Then just another description yawn. All these bad guys hopefully they will ignore little old me. First level plane hopping hmm next week can I buy a plane ticket to ride on the river Stynx or visit Thor at door number 4. Happy hunting grounds next stop. Please note that the following spells are not allowed on this plane, and the ones marked in red will get you such a beating. Don't send PC's to the Gray Waste to fight in the Bloodwar, send them to the Gray Waste to deliver battle plans to a Platoon of fiends. The PC's could fight low level stuff on the trip and get picked on by higher lvl stuff...good roleplaying keeps you alive on the planes. Let change this Oryan 77 Don’t the pc’s to Plain states to fight in the Oil Rumble between the People Republic of PirateCat vs. The Empire of Jasper Send them to Plain states to deliver beer to troops. Why throw in plane travel if I just minion and can to the same on the Prime. .. It's just a different way to describe doing the exact same thing. Like everyone keeps saying, it's "weird". Planar games are really no different than other games… Oryan 77 So In this multiverse PirateCat is female and Dialgo loves d20 and Hong is twins and both are nice guys. But the next plane over Piratecat is Piratedog (from Spike from Tom and Jerry), Dialgo is church mouse who hates d02 and Hong was hung for crimes against the Enworld in 03. So how great is it if you just switching Pepsi with Coca Cola or Coca Cola with Lime. I don’t own any plane books or care for the blood war. When I and my players decide to go to the outer planes I will decide what is out there I don’t need no stinking book telling me what is there. Of course I may steal from parts of stinking book. Why got me is once the stuff was written it became oh goody here is new monster and I can use because we on plane x and the book says so.. If you like traditional fantasy, you can run it in PS.
