A very neat idea, and it offers all sorts of interesting possibilities to anything that can travel freely through that matrix.<br /><br />As for the blurred boundaries, tegeus' comments on the trolls, I'll likely be posting a comment about ghouls soon that plays with similar themes.trollsmythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895349218958093151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28751902.post-24894029771613305202009-05-05T23:01:00.000-05:002009-05-05T23:01:00.000-05:00I like the concept that the boundaries between pla...I like the concept that the boundaries between planes blur at certain times of the year. I always start very big as well, although my in-game conception of time and reality is very different from the normal planar explanation that you find in D&D, T&T, etc. In my campaign every possible combination of energy in the universe exists in static form as a single point in something termed the Infinite Possibility Matrix (IPM) by the first beings to discover it. This means that such concepts as time and alternate realities are radically different; what an individual experiences as consciousness and the passing of time is really a series of connections between different points in the IPM. Every possibility exists at once in a perpetual moment. The universe begins and ends at the same time. A "thread" is a particular collection of points in the IPM that we might call a lifetime. However, every being has an incredible number of threads that diverge at every possible moment that the being could have gone down a different path. What would be called alternate primes or strange outer planes in other campaigns are simply radically different possible combinations of the universe's energies. Planar travel is simply a matter of jumping from one point in the IPM to another while maintaining the thread of your consciousness. I have no idea if that condensed explanation makes any sense! Well, I mostly just wanted to say that I take a similar approach to you in terms of the big picture first; I like what you are doing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648499022366444265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28751902.post-20324929570759646412009-05-05T19:32:00.000-05:002009-05-05T19:32:00.000-05:00Wow, you really do start big.

Still it is an interesting approach. I especially liked the line about the trolls. It means they could be considered neutral creatures guarding the boundary to fairy rather then mindless fodder on dungeon level X.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
