Its not like there's any Guardsmen ON CADIA or anything. When the fuck are AM going to get anything to make them even remotely relevant again?
>>52236252
>tfw all you want in life is getting lumbering behemoth back
It depends. If the rumor that AM are getting squatted is true, it makes sense that they aren't releasing anything really for them.
I think it's possible that they may make a new set with the new edition, though. Having Orks vs AM set on Armageddon is perfect. It would also give them a chance to release the new codices and model lines. However, this is GW and logic is not their strong suit.

NORMIES REEEEEE
Thread starter: How high a tech/magic level do you prefer for Sigil and the planes? The old boxed set insisted that Sigil should be kept medieval, but is this plausible if it attracts travelers from elsewhere, and can push out its influence into every other plane?
Discuss Planescape and the Great Wheel here, whether the original AD&D 2e version, the 3.X version, the 4e version (traces of the Great Wheel exist in 4e, down to the baernaloths, the yugoloths, the Heart of Darkness, Maeldur et Kavurik, Tenebrous, Pelion, and the Last Word all being canon as of Dragon #417), the 5e version, or your own original blend.
I am exceedingly well-lanned on planar canon under a holistic blend of 2e, 3.X, and sporadically even 4e lore. If you have any questions at all about the setting's lore, feel free to ask, and I will give you direct quotes and citations from as many primary sources as I can, unlike afroakuma. I will note when something is open to GM interpretation, and explicitly note whenever I give merely my own personal interpretation.
If you would like to ask anything under the context of a single edition and nothing more, please mention such.

EXPLAIN WHAT THESE ARE
>>52232596
According to AD&D 2e's Hellbound: The Blood War: The Dark of the War, page 10, the Heart of Darkness was an artifact used by the yugoloths before the Blood War to purge all traces of law and chaos from themselves:
>The Casting of Law and Chaos. The General of Gehenna, the first ultroloth, creates the Heart of Darkness – a magical stone that drives the "impurities" of law and chaos from the hearts of those that touch it, and utterly destroys those who champion good. The General gathers the host of yugoloths to it, and uses the Heart to make them pure.
>The General channels these expunged forces into the natural larvae of the Gray Waste; the influx of law and chaos twists the creatures into new beings that eventually become the first baatezu and tanar'ri. (Some histories mention that the General spoke with these larvae and imprinted dire magic in their heads before sending them on their respective ways.)
The same page dictates that such a history comes from the annals of the yugoloths, which means that it could be nothing more than yugolothic historical revisionism. It can still be reconciled with the tanar'ri creation myth in the 3.5 Fiendish Codex I by saying that the obyriths uplifted the chaos-tainted larvae into tanar'ri. This can also be reconciled with the baatezu creation myth in the 3.5 Fiendish Codex II by saying that the fallen "angels" (which could have been Mechanus-born aphanacts) had transformed into baatezu because of exposure to the law-larvae, and had turned further law-larvae into devilish beings much like themselves.
Personally, the idea does not make that much sense to me, the yugoloths were clearly fine with a little law in their souls seeing how the majority of them later migrated to LE/NE Gehenna. This could be explained as the yugoloths initially valuing NE purity, only for most to loosen up that belief as the centuries went by, causing a schism between the "old guard" of the Gray Waste and the "new generation" of Gehenna.
>>52232596
Maeldur et Kavurik was the source of all fiendish teleportation in the 2e era. He was a planetar from Mount Celestia captured by the baernaloths and flesh-warped into a space-twisting matrix.
Anyone whose true name was known to the Maeldur was granted teleportation. This was an instinctive gift, and only a handful of fiends even knew the Maeldur existed. The yugoloths had access to every single fiend's true name and fed them to the Maeldur. (The books never explained how this was possible, which was a major setting hole and gave the yugoloths an undue advantage.)
The yugoloths' plan was to accustom all of the Lower Planes to teleportation, and then later, manipulate mortal adventurers into dunking the Maeldur into the River Styx to wash away its memories. This would remove the teleportation ability of all fiends. The yugoloths would then pin the blame on the mortal heroes, retrieve the Maeldur, cover up the Maeldur's existence, tell it all of the yugoloths' true names, and offer to restore the teleportation of other fiends in exchange for vows of loyalty.
2e-canonically, this is exactly what happens in the adventure Hellbound: The Blood War: War Games: Squaring the Circle. That 2e book and all subsequent 2e books assumed that the yugoloths' plan succeeded, and that the mortal adventurers were duped most thoroughly. (Despite this, the adventure explicitly allows the adventurers to foil the plan by killing the Maeldur outright, or by doing something else to secure the Maeldur for the Upper Planes. When I played through the adventure, our group did the latter.)
4e likewise assumes that the yugoloths' plan was successful, going by page 6 of Dragon Magazine #417.
5e never outright states it, but it also implicitly assumes that the Maeldur scheme was successful, seeing how all of the yugoloths in the Monster Manual have teleportation, whereas the demons and the devils have it rarely.
3.5 is ambiguous on this, since it gives most fiends teleportation.

Song of Swords is a a tabletop RPG centered around realistic medieval fightan' with a ludicrous variety of weapons and fighting styles, centered around a dice pool system. It's currently in beta, and can be used for both fantasy and historical games. Kickstarter is happening NOW we are kicking ass baby!
Call of the Void: Ballad of the Laser Whales is a pulpy sci-fi tabletop RPG about fighting space-nazis and hunting giant whales with harpoons made out of the moon. Its combat system is more modern, based in the early 20th century, but can probably handle combat up to the present day.

Note that the latest version of the game is v1.9.9 but with additional supplements. It's NOT what's currently on Opaque's website, because Jimmy is Jimmy.

Hey /tg/, how does cosmology work in your setting?
I've been trying to figure out the history of my custom setting, but I can't really figure out how all the planes should work or how they came into being. I'd like to come up with something other than "A super god made all the planes before fucking off somewhere" which is what most settings seem to do.
Say what you will about WoW's writing, but I always did admire how fleshed out their setting was. Everything floats in the twisting nether, the emerald dream is the blueprint of azeroth, the elemental planes were built by the titans to imprison the elemental lords, etc. Most settings don't really have a reason for elemental planes existing other than the fact that they were just always there.
I really dislike planes. The world should just be 'the world' and anything beyond that is basically too mysterious and far off to understand.
Or better yet, if you go for mythic fantasy, all other realms of existence are reachable through the world. For example if you climb a really high mountain you can find a gate into heaven, or go really deep into the earth to find hell, etc.
>>52228598
I actually really like that idea. Keeping the cosmology a mystery has a pretty nice feel to it. I mean honestly the planes don't really matter in a game unless the adventure involves plane-hopping, which most don't. The only issue would be when the players start summoning fire elementals or jaunting into the astral plane with certain spells. but even that can be handwaved away I guess.
After a good monster/demon thread the other day I've decided to kick off a new thread dedicated to one of the less common art dumps: Landscapes. I personally find these to be great for inspiration and it's a bummer how they're so often drowned out by more common art requests.
