    2nd edition states they never build structures on the surfaces of Avalas, since they will inevitably be crushed by a colliding cube. Yet, if you read the descriptions of all the locations on Avalas, and look at the map for Avalas in 2nd edition, there's structures everywhere on the surfaces. Don't know what's up with that lol.

    • @Kualinar

      Those need to be built at the bottom of the craters dotting the surface of the cubes. That's the only solution that I can think of.

    Yes finally! Acheron is such a unique and underrated plane and now there's a whole hour of lore on it. Keep up the great work!

    You do a great job putting these places together, I imagine its not easy with all the revision over the years.
    This stuff always reminds me of Planescape Torment, where you go to Baator, Carceri, Limbo, Sigil, Negative Energy, Mechanus and a few others. They're all interesting, some very interesting. Great channel!

      Thank you so much! Ya it’s a ton of work, but it’s interesting. I still need to play Planescape: Torment. It’s in my Steam library but I haven’t gotten around to it. I’ve heard fantastic things about it.

      I thought it was more of a 'Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.' turned into an entire Plane. At least for those who believe in this utterly instead of merely quoting it.

      I really want to, I’m just not sure what exclusive content to put on there people would want. Technically, according to WOTC’s fan content policy, I’m not allowed to use their intellectual property on anything I put behind a paywall, so I can’t really do D&D lore on there.

    The colliding cubes seem more of a chaos lean to it than lawful. It is next to Mechanus after all.
    Just a thought.

    • @Genghis_Sean
      @Genghis_Sean  Місяць тому

      But the colliding isn’t random. According to 1e, someone with an Intelligence of 18 can make a check to figure out the pattern of the cubes’ movement in a specific area.

    The 2024 DMG has a bit more in its paragraphs about the Outer Planes, including actually listing the layers by name in a small table (though each layer still only gets a short line describing it). Are you going to include that going forward, or just stick to the 2014 DMG content for 5e?

    • @Genghis_Sean
      @Genghis_Sean  Місяць тому +1

      Thanks for mentioning that. I don’t have the new DMG but I’ll need to find a way to get it so I can include it in these videos. I want to be as encompassing as possible. If I’m being honest I was so disinterested in the new books I completely forgot they existed and didn’t check for plane content.
