Reroll is such a cool app. Well worth the $7.
You need to put out more monster lore i find it way more interesting.
idk if I missed that, but it's just for DnD fantasy and so? Or is there palette for sci-fi, modern soldier character equipment?
your dscryb link doesnt work.... i mean it goes to dscryb, just to an error page on dscryb
The ethereal looks similar to the phlogiston 🤔
Fun theory: the phlogiston is the ether 😂
Title: Why you should fear the deep Ethereal.
The Deep Ethereal: Taste the Foggy Rainbow
Fear*?
@@iwistudio7337 r/whooooosh
@@enderking6904 used confusion, critical hit
@@enderking6904 you just wooshed a man for no reason 👂😛👂
Their makin the fog gay!
campaign idea: the players, playing as low-level adventurers, are charged with recovering a magic item from a low-level villain. Unknown to the party and the villain, this magic item serves as a one-way gate to the Deep Ethereal. The bad guy activates the gate during the fight, and transports themselves and the adventurers to the Deep Ethereal, and the players must go on an Odyssey-like journey to go back to their home plane. Along the way they'll run into all the sorts of things you find in the Deep Ethereal.
You Don’t go strait to deep etherial, you go to border etherial.
@@martinhildebrandt2716 now normally that would be the case, but the idea behind the campaign is to have the players explore the Deep, and transporting them to the border ethereal doesn't accomplish that. A magic item that specifically sends them to the Deep Ethereal, instead of a normal method of etherealization serves that purpose and is well within the realm of possibility.
They simply would not survive.
Wormscape was supposedly created unintentionally by a giant space wasp laying its demi-plane baby in a dead god, creating a stillborn plane of earth and filth. It's incredibly metal
"I just wanted to make sure that you guys were aware of Wormscape. It was important to me that you would be told of this place. You're welcome."
"I saw this thing, so now you have to, too."
Same energy.
Rhexx, regarding Ptah: "If he finds you boring, he will teleport you out of his sight."
Me: "If I could have one power..."
I find this channel very comforting. It's like chilling with a passionate nerd in matchmaking, getting an earful to make the grind smoother and quicker.
This is a fantastic way of looking at it.
Yesh
Same here; he can be talking about the most terrifying, monstrous space beast or whatever and it's still my comfort channel
So comforting!
*listens to Rhexx start describing Wormscape in detail*
...........
*shuddee* So comforting.......
"Creation juice...that sounds weird" haha, that one got me
Cramming as much dnd lore as I can now while prepping my campaign, Mr Rhexx pops up, coming in clutch, every time.
Bro same
tell me about it, I have been taking notes and slowly building a campaign, like 75% of it is from information I have learned from his vids. The other 25% is me just making crap up to connect the points of interest and making up some side quests, also bringing back some choice prestige classes form 3.5. Right now it is pretty much going to be the party will either unknowingly side with a black dragon who gives them some "cursed" necklaces or if they suspect he has ulterior motives, they could end up sided with a silver dragon and breaking his curse, either way the grand quest will remain the same for different reasons. The necklaces will basically allow them to tap into the prestige classes that I choose based on their class and goals and will level with their classes. Stats will also improve by plot points, so only armor ever needed perhaps. They will also have a dream early on allowing them to choose a favorite color and a single choice in the dream representing believing in their own power or relying on weaponry, and get a small boon or weapon based on it as well as when the necklace is used in battle they will gain spectral dragon armor themed by that color they chose, negates other magical armor though, so they can wear what they want for appearances, armor wont be needed unless they refuse to use it.
Long story short, you could go with my friend's description when I described it to him: magical D&D power rangers. I prefer Legend of Dragoon, but meh.
@@gregpenismith1248 I read all that, nerd. 🤓
@@metagames.errata7777 mad lad
Don’t cram, just learns. But and leave lots of room for the party go all crazy
3:18 Aurora Borealis..? at this time of year? at this time of day? at this part of the cosmos? localized entirely within your sector of the ethereal plane? May I see it? - SuperIntendent Chalmers
mmmmm.... no
LOCALIZED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR BAG OF HOLDING???
Well Seymour, you are an odd fellow, but I must say you manifest a good Prima Matera
Yeeees, because that reality exists in the Deep ethereal.
*Supernintendo
most horrific places in the dnd multiverse
1- Far Realm
2- Abyss
3- Deep Ethereal
I don't know the grey wastes of hades and the second layer of baator are pretty close
my basement...
I agree entirely with this list but isn't there a place in Hell that is exactly like Hellraiser where torture is carried out?
I mean also pandemonium is pretty shitty lol
@@sebaseba6710 not nearly the most horrific in fact for a lower plane it's actually kind of nice
*Sex education class:* semen
*MrRhexx, an intellectual:* _c r e a t i o n j u i c e_
When did he mention that stuff lol?
@@Simon-Sax I just made it up.
24:47
*Hentai:* Wormscape
I bet he would use that to make a video advertiser friendly if he had to lol
Why you should be afraid of the deep ethereal?
Jokes on you, my players are afraid of everything.
Prooooobably should hold back on the horrors a tad...or I could mutate one of them.
A road trip tp Wormscape maybe?
@@coriolass they get to be one of the worms!
Delightful wormy adventures
@@CidGaius A smorgasbord of nightmare fuel, the ethereal plane is such fun for a DM. The possibilities are by definition endless.
Wormscape sounds like a fun place
Created by the deepest fears of Junji Ito's fanbase.
Wormscape could be the name of the collentive fridge we hade when i lived in a working collektive in my early 20s
Not to be confused with Gummy wormscape.
I am changing the name of this but stealing the idea.
never had a gummy worm
"What comes before matter . . . " is just a little bit of pre-matter.
"Pack up yer bags oh holding and hop atop the Nautilus, we're going to Wormscape!"
but why though?
AY ay captain, we will be with the worms!
To sell Worms
No, please, I can’t go back, not again.
And now I have nightmares
So, in theory, the new College of Creation Bard would be godlike in the deep ethereal... interesting.
Me: wanting to waste time at work
MrRhexx: uploads 30 minute vid
So before this series started i made a cleric in pathfinder of the dream domain. i had a bunch of backstory written and now seeing how dreams are tied to the ethereal realm, these past videos have opened soo many doors for my writing.
"As a beeing it seeks to understand the bases of its existence, for it itself doesn't even know how it was made" Well, doesn't that sound familiar...
Feel like the deep ethereal is just an amalgamation of areas created by the SCP people.
Sort of, but possibly worse! 😅
@@gregpenismith1248 What ? One of the best fan fiction sites on the internet, pure trash ?
Mr. Penis Smith, I disagree.
@@gregpenismith1248 lol... it used to be mysterious and maybe even movie worthy, but it's gotten silly. 😅
@@gregpenismith1248 it's seriously heavily curated though and things get deleted all the time for not meeting their standards.
@@megamanx466 What do you mean? It's not one thing there are multiple canons, I'd hardly call them all silly. Also silly is very relative so again what do you mean?
Considering that time has no meaning in the deep ethereal, then wouldn't the "loading time" be meaningless?
Indeed, but your perception of that time could be very meaningful to that character.
To summarize: Yes, there is a “Hentai Dimension”.
hahaha well that would make someone happy
Hentai... most probably. x)
But if you want Horror Hentai... well there is always the Far Realm for that.
i like to think our dimension is the hentai dimension.
Wormscape?
I think that since I still have my male anatomy "down there", I'd like to go to a Yaoi Realm, please. 😆 Imagine all of those c@m gutters...😳.
*Katie falls asleep.*
_Oh my...what heaven is this? Or is it a delightful part of hell? Oh no! Its probably some kind of hellish torture where these sexy guys never tire! Oh my!_ 🤤
_Punish me, boys! I keep my core tight...among other things!_ 😘
My players recently paid a short term visit to the Deep Ethereal. I wish I had your video on it before hand, there are some neat things I would have liked to show my players!
Open a portal to wormscape, I need bait for fishing.
You could imagine an enchanted fishing rod that is always baited, which upon asking the merchant who sold you the item where it gets the worms from, you are advised 'not to wonder about such things'.
I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos, thank you for broadening my knowledge of Dungeons and Dragons
This is interesting. It seems that the bits about Tharzidun could link to Critical Role. Beau and Caleb are slowly being corrupted since they stared into the abyss, the book that Lucien has.
Okay, now that would be a specialty in spells to explore. A mage who draws on aspects of the etheral for everything. Etherall fog formed into food or drink, weapons, other spells, AIR.
Thank you for spreading awareness on Wormscape, now we can all suffer together.
Wormscape is simply Grandfather Nurgle bringing his gifts into the forgotten realms, with the endless writhing worms simply serving as an incubation sac for his greatest of voluminous children!
How about a Monsters of the Ethereal video? :)
I strongly suspect it would involve content not allowed on YT.
And tentacles... lots of tentacles... :|
I freakin love this channel. I love how enthusiastic you are how you speak as if the lore is all real
I just want to take yet another moment to appreciate how amazing of a lore master Mr Rhexx is! The way you dive through every edition as well as editions of Dragon Magazine, Twitter posts, etc. always leaves me impressed. Your devotion to lore has given us an invaluable resource in the form of your channel. If I ever need to give my players a lore dump between sessions, I'm sending them a Rhexx video.
25:24 Oh no! The greatest fear of any illusionist! Long lasting, real friendships!
Definitely make a video on places in the deep ethereal, and another episode on monsters!
I recon that the Demiplane of Dread exists where the Shadowfel touches the Deep Etherial. Where possibilities are tainted by horror and dreams give way to unending nightmares made manifest
The only part about the situation that makes this a controversial subject is the 'canon' maps showing that the shadowfel and the ethereal plain never actually come into contact with one another. Meaning that the two cannot directly interact with one another.
Sadly, this is one of the most unexplored thing in D&D lore and text, and I want more of it because I'm making a class inspire by Witcher's from The Witcher and rangers that pulls power from both of these planes. But researching it in order to explore how that might work has gotten up about nil for me ;-;
I wonder if the Astral and the Etherial were once one, but were separated by some entity because of some unimaginable catastrophe.
Hey, Mr.Rhexx I have a question/theory of an illusion was made real and then entered a Demi plane would the illusion dissipate, as a Demi plane is technically still in the ethereal
Demiplanes technically have their own rules based on who controls them.
For example Neth, the Demiplane That Lives would theoretically make that determination. However, it is mostly unaware of what's inside it at any given time unless something is being a real menace.
Ravenloft is ruled by mysterious unseen beings called the Dark Powers. If they determine that such a construct can elicit or experience sufficient dread, then it, too might find itself trapped for all eternity.
The real short answer is "it depends".
@@daviddaugherty2816 thank you I’m running a game In a Demi plane now so this info was much needed
Thank for my next sub quest, a The Wriggling Man trying to find and dominate wormscape in order to expand himself closer to divinity... o just to come back home.
10:18 "ETHEREAL TRAVEL" ... "Greetings Mortal, are you ready to die?"
This video was super intriguing. I love this new series about the planes you are doing amazing work.
I get pumped when I see you put a new video out. Awesome content man!
Come to the deep ethereal we got:
A living demiplane,
The prison of therizdun,
AND TENTACLE HEN- ahem uh wormscape, wormscape.
You are the only one I actually use the sponsors with just BTW love your content
My homebrew world is technically a demiplane, but my players don't know that yet (I've been dropping subtle hints, and it's tied to the BBEG's final plan). This video and the last one are really helpful to my worldbuilding, so I can't wait to build more of the world with this knowledge
Thank you for making me aware of Wormscape. My life will never be the same
Ah yes, more planer stuff. I hope this series lasts for ages, it’s so helpful
6:28
"...spices that are so devistating, that they are baned on all but the lower planes."
...
Are you trying to tell me that *Limbo* has *drug regulations!?*
...
That dosn't sound verry *chaotic* of them!
omg you are on a roll with these! this is my favorite series! right above the dragon series.
Great stuff! Love this deep lore.
Ptah (creator of the Universe)
Me: This seems big and feels like it should have more emphasis
Also me: "Do you know the way"
I really would enjoy a video on the Ethergaunts since you cover things better than what I can seem to find to read, but they don’t have a 5e stat block :/
Was waiting for this :)
You sir, are a treasure. Thank you for making these :)
26:33 the fair? the feyer? what are you saying here, nad where can I find info on it, please and thank you.
Feyr. They're not in 5e (yet), but you can read more about the 2e and 3e versions here:

@@Boggboy Thank you. I'm a 3.5 fanboy myself, but I appreciate what 5e brings to the table, and even I hadn't heard of this thing yet. Much appreciated
See now you have my brain crossing streams with how travel works in the Deep, and how the Planeswalkers shift from plane to to plane in Magic the Gathering. Basically using the same abilities but naming it something different.
The Well to Everything in dnd could be the Door to Nothingness in the plane of Mtg. But it's the same thing. Connecting the realms. Lol
Mr Rhexx you are the man. Really enjoy your vids
I was at lunch when You talked about wormscape. I was lucky enough i passed the wisdom saving throw to do not throw up
Sooo it's much like the Alex Verus series type of "Elsewhere", that sounds terrifying.
Actually i think there is a way to defeat "the final boss" of thr ethereal realm. And its using its own laws of creation against it using another magic user who is trained in the school of illusion magic arts ;). His own strength is its own weakness.
I'm rather hooked on your D&D lore series. It's wonderful. Really enjoying the planar travel series especially!
The Ethereal is one of my favorite planes... I especially like the Planescape 2nd edtion book that you referenced a lot in this video about the Ethereal.
i dont even play D&D not even once or 1 pc game, but i love your videos, have something the way you say or relate things that is awsome and now I kinda want to play baldurs gate the newest, hope you keep uploading this kind of videos ! :)
Great scott some of these demiplanes sound terrifying but cool.
Wormscape sounds fun
Bruh sometimes I think you good to the mtg card database and pull images, and I'm Loving it not gonna lie
Dope vid bro
It's not the most efficient idea, but I like the thought that wormscape is used as a "body disposal plane" for some nefarious wizards XD
Oh my God. Wormscape is the material that makes up Worm that Walks or atleast is a Worm that Walks it self
Quite Literally pumped my first and said ‘fuck yea’ when I saw both you uploaded and it was over 30 minutes
I always thought Wormscape was tied to the star Nihal.
No notification makes me happier
I thrive on things in the ethereal being afraid of me.
Now i want to start a campaign in the ethereal realm...
Reroll is absolutely worth it. I've been using it for a couple months now and I use it for all my characters
Glad we covered wormscape. I'll be sure to make a pathfinder equivalent.
A calming talk to listen to while gaming, thumb ups from me
7:12 memes lurk in the deep ethereal
The Deep Ethereal is simultaneously all memes that ever were, are, and what may yet be.
I forgot we were talking bout just the deep ethereal. I failed my saving throw
The best thing about Wormscape is that there exists a spell to allow one to breathe.... worms. **slurp**
Thank you for informing me of the existence of Wormscape Rhexx 😂
My Paladin uses the Ethereal regularly so I feel like this could be interesting
I like to imagine Ptah just chills in the Etereal, creating new worlds cause he sees that as his purpose. He preffers staying here because he find the politics of the Outer Planes exhausting and in the way of his craft.
I would be very interested in seeing a video on the Bodak
Wormscape sounds like a nightmare
Could you defeat the Phantasmal Killer(PK) buy making an illusion of your greatest hopes? A being that is always on its creators side that can do everything PK can do except it’s able to destroy PK? The strongest, purest being you could imagine; basically a god.
Or make an individual that can become its target but cannot stay dead, thereby forcing the being into a constant loop of frightening and slaying this decoy for eternity.
I love this channel
Masterpiece
I always assumed wormscape was the true physical form of the worm that walks
Quite possibly.
Question: where can I find the different monsters of the Deep Ethereal?
Wow, so much input for a small demiplane side scene in my campaign! I hope i wont overdo it tho...
Hell freaking yeah Reroll!!!!!!
Wormscape sounds like the domain of Kyuss.
25:40 One: this shit right here is why we need witch hunters.
Two: if the mage didn’t have a specific target wouldn’t the spell just fail, and even if he had a target wouldn’t the phantasm be mostly ineffective against any but its original target? How does it know the greatest fear of anyone it meets? Is it telepathic? If not then it should have no ability to change its form to an effective one for its target because it cannot know what a targets greatest fear is and it would have no reason to develop telepathy unless something told it to.
My bugged out when I heard (PTAH). I was reading about him as an Egyptian god of creation only a few days ago (the only god shrouded in darkness). I love how D&D takes a little bit from everywhere and just makes it something both new and old at the same time.
I would suspect that Wormscape probably has something to do with Kyuss. Maybe either some kind of origin or an expression of the Demi-god himself.
This would be interesting to one of my characters considering that he is from beyond the dream world.
DUDE! I was eating noodles when you started talking about the plane of worms, put me right off my food. :(
Oh heck yeah, Reroll is getting adds now. I can’t wait for more updates to it
Drawers and magic runes please. Another video another comment ,great video by the way.
