Whoops Tijo is a fighter, sorry, the one with all the command skills.
Fitz is Vengeance and has just stacked every point he can into Con, his mission is to try and get Half Orcs accepted back into society and out of the slums so he tries to fit in with them.

He was actually rather stupid.

Honestly, I've always felt the 40k lore works best if you assume that Emps was just an enormously strong psyker warlord who arose at the end of the Age of Strife and everything else is just propaganda he surrounded himself with.

Thread starter question: What is Planescape to you, in terms of overall thematics and motifs? Not what any of the books say, but what you personally think it should be.

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.

Nothing?

>>50205955
Do the planes span out in a flat, infinite expanse (or expand for infinity in whatever dimension they default to like Carceri)? Also how does the sun work on Bitopia if it's two layers that are parallel to each other, meaning there can't really be a noon on it?
>>
>>50207272

As far as I am aware, each planar layer spans out to infinity in all directions. Arborea's first layer, for example, will stretch out its verdant fields and forests indefinitely horizontally, and likewise has an infinitely deep underground and an infinitely high sky. (Note that there is very little canonical information on the undergrounds and the skies of each plane, or even how suns, stars, and moons work. They could be a mysteries that many planar scholars are eager to delve into.)

These infinite dimensions, of course, can be cut short by fulfilling the conditions needed to transition into a new layer, voluntarily or otherwise. For example, as page 48 Planes of Conflict: Liber Benevolentiae will tell you, if you help travelers along the path to your destination in Elysium, you will soon reach that site, infinite dimensions be damned. Likewise, if you follow the Labyrinthine Portal explained in page 5 of Planes of Law: Mechanus, you can reach any place in the clockwork nirvana.

Gehenna is a notable exception to this. As mentioned in page 24 of Planes of Conflict: Liber Malevolentiae and page 111 of the 3.0 Manual of the Planes, while the plane's black void is infinite, the fourfold furnaces are finite in size, to the tune of "literally hundreds of thousands of miles across, up, and down." (For reference, Earth's sun has a diameter of 864,575.9 miles.) The books never come out and say it, but I imagine that the Gehennan yugoloths are suffering from an overpopulation crisis and are trying to deport as many native Gehennan larvae and petitioners as possible to clear room for themselves on the slopes.

If Tiber Septim wasn't a god, then the Septim line has no divine right to rule and therefor Skyrim should be fee. If Tiber Septim was a god, then the Empire is morally wrong for outlawing his cult and forsaking its founder, and needs to fall to a new dynasty that will honor their founder.

Checkmate Empirefags.

Just got back from seeing Dr Strange and its put me in a magical mood. Now I want to do some work with Mage: The Awakening. The themes seem appropriate (revealing knew truths, living in a bigger universe than is readily apparent).

My one hesitation is that the fluff of World of Darkness is so heavily bent towards conspiracy theory shit. Any tips for keeping the mystical mystery of MTA but making it more appropriate for big magical adventure shit too?

Is such a thing even possible? Is such a thing even moral?

>>50257325
Mage is probably one of the gamelines where you can ditch the conspiracy shit easiest.
Just ignore it, fuck off whenever they kick up a fuss, and explore the different dimensions and realms that make up the cosmos.

You get Arcane Experiences for investigating mystic shit and advancing your own understanding of the cosmos and the supernal.
Not for dicking around playing politics.
>>
>>50257362
honestly didnt mind that stuff too much. i wish theyd done someof it in different environments than just cities, and that theyd done a tiny bit more playing with which ways shit could be bent.

the finale was legitimately awesome though. different and clever compared to the rut of pleb action comedy stuff that marvel has been running into the ground.

Have them do profession checks, make sure they're the more expensive trained hireling. On average, you will make more than you spend on them every week.

I once made a level 1 Aristocrat in 3.5e that made several hundred gold a week just by having hordes of trained hirelings doing profession checks.

Of course, this was a theoretical character, never actually played it.

For their defence, it's 30$ per pdf and the core rulebook has something like 370 pages. But for both books it goes up to 60$ and that's a hefty price.
