If you were wealthy and knew that your favorite FR author would put a
charactor in his or her book that represented you for money.(1)Would
you do it?(2)Why or why not? (only answer #3-#4 if you would do it.)(3)Tell us about the charactor.{name,race,class,etc..}(4)What author would you choose if the choice was yours and
why would you choose them?
For now,I will only say I would.I will explain the rest of the answers
later other than The only way I would do this is after I helped those
that needed help first. |

Yes,expect the unexpected.While you hold an axe acting as though you are trying to hide it someone tries a backstab.
It was an experiment and it wasn't perfect but it just proves that by nature we are curious. |

He he he he he  I had like two people other than myself post before I changed the name of the string.Call it an attention grabber or delivery system,It worked as I had hoped or almost;I had hoped more people would answer all the questions but overall I am pleased. |

I thought someone at least by now would ask why I named the thread as such but maybe you are all smarter than I give you credit for. |

I was just curious,I didn't have any material on Ravenloft but I couldn't understand how it could be the Plane of Shadow.
Thanks for explaining so well. |

This is due, in part to the confusion of the multi-campaign planar structure of 2e PS. In 2e, Ravenloft was simply called the Demi-Plane of Dread, adrift in the Ethereal Plane, much like the then, Demi-Plane of Shadow, which was itself a separate demi-plane.
In 3e, the Demi-Plane of Shadow was 'promoted' to full plane status and now exists outside of the Ethereal Plane, resting co-terminus with the Prime Material Plane.

Ravenloft is called the Demiplane of Shadow in some sources. Beyond that, O Sage? |
| William of Waterdeep |
Posted - 18 Oct 2003 : 08:51:40
Doesn't Ravenloft have something to do with the Plane of Shadow? |

Alaundo really should finish those portals...it would make life here a lot more interesting... |
| The Sage |

Yes  .
Sometimes being a Master of Realmslore is too restictive.

No interest, really. Just asking questions based upon what little knowledge I have of Ravenloft.You're the Sage, you get the stupid questions... |
| The Sage |
Posted - 18 Oct 2003 : 08:32:29
Not really. The mists allow travel only between the domains of Ravenloft (within the plane) - the different core regions, and outlying lands.
Both the 2e Domains of Dread, and 3e Ravenloft Campaign Setting tomes detail the purposes of the 'mist' pathways fully. I would suggest, purchasing one or the other, especially if you have an interest in gothic horror settings.

Don't the mists allow planar travel(in normal Ravenloft)? |
| The Sage |
Posted - 18 Oct 2003 : 08:20:02
Yes, and no. You can get in (sometimes), but you can never leave (most of the time).
In fact, in my planar structure, the demi-plane of Ravenloft was cast out of the Ethereal Plane all together (due largely to Azalin's escape attempt), and now exists on it's own outside of the flow of time, forever disconnected from the planar structure.
Therefore, Azalin can never attempt to escape (neither Vecna), and I have a nice little prison to hold PC's who cross me...

Isn't Ravenloft locked off from most planar connections, however?(Never played in Ravenloft.) |
| The Sage |
Posted - 18 Oct 2003 : 08:04:30
In that same regard, the Ravenloft setting has always posed problems.

Which is why most everyone has not separated the two. |
| William of Waterdeep |
Posted - 18 Oct 2003 : 07:38:00
I know that they have to be seperate but it was the thought that counted.FR has borrowed monsters and everything else from PS and I hate to see it go the way it has. |

Only for the DL 3e cosmology, as it works so well. Besides, with the generalised 3e D&D plane/cosmological structure most...if not all of the changes that have been wrought upon Krynn since the end of the Age of Despair would be near impossible to fit into the D&D plane make-up. The appendix on world creation and deity/plane structure in DoaVM clearly illustrated the 'need' for a different planar structure.
With the way things stand now, the DL cosmology sets the world of Krynn apart from the rest of the standard D&D worlds...as it should be.

 You're kidding. You actually think that a campaign world shouldn't be connected to Planescape? |

Lets just vote PS into the FR,they basically had so many ties in 2e that they should have been one.
In the case of my own FR campaign, the lines between PS and FR are so blurred that it is sometimes very difficult to determine where exactly one setting finishes, and the other setting starts.
In fact that is pretty much the case with all my home TSR/WotC settings (and homebrew worlds) that I run, except the Dragonlance setting. Now that Krynn's own planar cosmology has been established in 3e (and it works quite nicely actually), I don't think it needs to be connected to the overall planar cosmological structure that I (and members of the online PS community) am developing.

Sounds good to me. I never liked the idea of Faerun being essentially ignorant about the people in the planes. |
