No no. The Astral Plane links all the Outer Planes with the Prime Material Plane and the Ethereal Plane. The Ethereal Plane links the Prime Material Plane with the Inner Planes.

[Jamski]

Yes yes. You are right - It links the Outer Planes with the Material Planes (the real worlds) - but I am right too, in that the nature of the Astral Plane is like ghostly projections of the Planes it touches.

Sigil has connections to everywhere though. Perhaps to every single Plane.

I am confused. What does this mean?

That sounds like an interesting place.

Is this just like the tube station game but with planes?

If so I think you'll find the outer plane is countered by my use of the ethereal plane. I'm just hoping you don't use the Astral plane gambit.

[Jamski]

Well, Sigils IS like an interesting place. That's why PS:T is such a good book.

The structures of the planes are pretty odd to describe...

Imagine a soup - the Etheral Plane
Now there's meat floating in the soup - the Prime Material Planes, like Earth, or the FR, or Greyhawk.
Now imagine that the meat juices in the soup, while being the same form as the bowl, also indicate the location and form of the meat chunks. - The Astral Plane.
Then imagine that each type of protein in the meat chunks has its own home, on a crouton - the Elemental Planes and the Planes belonging to certain alignments.
Now also imagine the bacteria that live in this soup have gods and demons, and they are in control of air bubbles - The Celestial and Abyssal Planes.
Now Sigil is like a "magic spoon" that contacts everything in the soupbowl at once.

Get it?

You know, I think that's my favourite post ever. If only I could fit it all into my sig.

[Skanky Burns]

That post confused me.
But I am strangely hungry now.

A bit long, but it's not too big.

[DrSpike]

Damn.

Idea thief!

[Urban Ranger]

I completely concur with Skanky.

[Jamski]

I'm not sure if I should be proud or not

I thought my soup-metaphor would help explain... perhaps I should have tried to draw a diagramm instead.

[General Ludd]

The soup makes sense to me.

[Skanky Burns]

As long as it isn't a Pekka-style diagram.

[Jamski]

"What is a Pekka-style diagram?" he asks, wondering if he really wants to know...

I had thai noodle soup for dinner tonite.

I understand its traditional to eat noodle soup on Persian Fire Festival night, which tonight is. Though i didnt know about the tradition when i had the soup.

Obligatory on topic: any strat games including both Thais and Iranians?
