    "The plane of water feels rather gentle..."
    YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY THALASSOPHOBIA!!!

    Inner planes feel more like a thought experiment than actual setting. Even more so than rest of Planescape. Most of the elemental planes are deliberately so hostile to the regular PCs, it makes no sense to go there at all. But still the writers made the effort to turn each plane into their own small setting with interaction between, power players with design on other planes, interesting places to visit, secrets to uncover etc... that it gives the DM and players plenty of reasons to invent reasons and means to go there.

    • @baitposter
      @baitposter 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Out of the bunch, the Negative Energy plane is probably my favorite because it fully embraces that hostility. An airless vacuum of true death, annihilation, nyctophobia, and undead that you'd basically need a magic spacesuit to survive in? Sounds like a fun pit stop, and for worldbuilding, a true terminus for all things to eventually end.

    • @darthbrooks4933
      @darthbrooks4933 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It being so hostile is the exact reason planar creatures set up outposts. Keep pesky humans away, lol

      @blockeontheleafeon หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Many of these feel like Liminal Spaces. Especially most of the Quasi-Elemental Planes such as the Plane of Dust and the Plane of Salt.

    You have a real talent with your description of the planes, I saw your Outer Planes video a while ago, and I keep watching it today as I run my own Homebrew Campaign. You’re a really cool guy who explains everything perfectly, glad I saw this video as early as I did!

  • @steved1135

    Nicely done. Since back in the 90's, I've always struggled with the Inner Planes as a DM. The single-mindedness inherent therein makes it difficult to avoid monotony. Recently (the past 10 years...) I've gambled in using the Inner Planes and I've found success in making use of what I think of as 'impure' pocket spaces. Working so far...

    • @WadeAllen001
      @WadeAllen001  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yeah pocket spaces is a good idea. Other ways to avoid monotony are making use of the border zones of each plane and having settlements that people have built within the planes that work counter to the planes they're in (for instance one could imagine a civilization that's built inside a magic force field in the plane of water. It drifts through the plane of water like a bubble, but inside is a city with normal functioning gravity and air and everything else). Though I guess that second idea could already be what you're doing with pocket spaces, depending on if you mean pocket spaces in the sense of the naturally occurring ones in the inner planes or more like the artificially constructed one I described.

    Youre the best dnd content creators ive come across because of your cadence and the way you dont do jump cuts and shit and it feels like youre teaching a class thats actually fascinating man.
    I watched your video about Sigil and you made it come to life in my mind usual visual aids and your musing on about the alignments but you dont try to force your thoughts down anyones throat you just sort of speculate and allow us to speculate.
    You do the same thing talented college professors do.
    Ty for the fascinating lore of a game i have never played in its tabletop form.

    I've really enjoyed all of your planescape videos. A lot. I ran a high level planescape campaign when I was 17 to 19 (I was born in 1980 and started playing D&D by 1985). I ran the high level adventure from the Blood War boxed set. I kinda regret starting the players out at 18th level, but my players sure didn't. That made it that I couldn't pen them in, anywhere really. Especially once they spoke their own names to the Maeldur and gained the teleport ability of 2nd edition fiends. Of course they were all from the Fated too. I also ran a rough repeat of that campaign in 4e and took the party on a demon prince hunt. That all being said I would really enjoy seeing a video on the transient and prime mirror planes (astral, ethereal, faewild, shadowfell {with ravenloft}, famous pocket planes {plane of mirrors, etc.} and the far realms). Another one worth looking into would be a series of the powers published in planescape, with the addition of info from all the other editions there is on said powers. I know AJ Pickett has already done these but maybe you'll find some info he missed. Plus I like the way you cover things. I did just get the 5e planescape boxed set a few days ago and I think it is worth including from here on, but that's just my stinky opinion.

      Awesome! I recently got the 5e box set too, so i still have to read the whole thing before I make a video on it, and then I have to figure out exactly what that video is. The next video that I'm working on now is a guide to Baator.

    The way the planes can be infinite while having borders is to assume extra dimensions. The planes can be infinite in the first three dimensions while finite in the additional dimensions.

    • @mustafaerdogan8937
      @mustafaerdogan8937 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I like to think of each plane as kind of conical in shape. The tip of the cone is going to an undescribed center of the inner planes. Where the bottom of the should be is the direction the plane is infinite in. Where the cones come close together, are the demi and quasi elemental planes. Now, most of the places described in the inner planes book would be relatively close to the tip, ie. close to the other planar borders.

    Back when the AD&D manual of the planes came out I ran an elemental adventure. Where they started in air then fire then earth then water. Then to one of the towers extending into the positive and finally to a castle hanging above the negative. I made changes as needed for story like in Air you just float like Water put no swimming.

    @TexmacWhse-u8w 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I had to explain where the elemental planes "meet" as similar to portals on the prime. It is a place where the "energy or frequency" of the 2 planes overlap to create a portal. Because the elemental planes are so close in "frequency" the overlapping sections are so large they are essentially a separate plane.

  • @PIMKAMINA2
    @PIMKAMINA2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    a little silly to me that salt is its own plane considering salt is itself a mineral. are there pockets in the mineral plane of specific minerals and gems? is there a place there populated entirely by quartz? a space of only diamond? an area of amethyst and nothing else?

    • @SecondPlaceYuya

      Salt has arcane and divine properties that other minerals don’t.

  • @quinnbuffet3825
    @quinnbuffet3825 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You likely CAN walk across them in the same way you can walk across the corners into the different faces of a cube. They're different planes but they take up the same space, you just have to find a way through and it's likely because the elemental planes aren't 3-dimensional or linear.

    I have to imagine that on theme spells are actually much more powerful in appropriate elemental planes. If you cast a fireball in the Plane of Fire, it should be really strong. Buuuut, given everything you would likely be fighting there would be made of, or at least immune to, fire it would do you no good.

    • @WadeAllen001
      @WadeAllen001  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

  • @SonySteals

    Plane of air seems to be OP and exist within other planes the most. Neither life under water or fire cannot exist without air. Which suggests that plane of water and fire are both full of air.

    If the plane of water has "laws of physics" like the plane of air and earth, regarding gravity, could you crush someone with your superior wisdom, just by thinking, that the place the other person currently swims is "down" so the water pressure is higher? And is the plane of water, like the plane of earth, in total darkness, considering the fact that there's no more light below 60 meters?

    • @rainbowmothraleo
      @rainbowmothraleo 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Description given in this video is inaccurate, at least according to the Inner Planes book. In the Plane of Water there's no gravity at all and water pressure is consistent throughout the plane

  • @filipinoguy5037
    @filipinoguy5037 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Could you fly in the plane of air just by believing infront of you is down?

    • @WadeAllen001
      @WadeAllen001  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Maybe if you've got high enough wisdom (like above 20). I feel like most people wouldn't be capable of such a thing, as it wouldn't feel like flying, it would feel like falling, because gravity is pulling you. So to mentally overcome the very real sensation of falling through the sky and gaming the laws of the plane to your advantage would take a particularly exceptional person.

    • @rainbowmothraleo

      With practice you can even ensure yourself that there's no gravity and hold yourself in one place

  • @demonhunter505
    @demonhunter505 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I feel like everyone who conceptualized inner planes, and outer planes, and wild space/the astral sea, all did so without the assistance or communication with the other creators. Wildspace and the astral sea make sense for us humans
    , because they’re just different fantasy interpretations of solar system space and outer space. Outer planes make sense, because there are portals to every single outer plane, both upper and lower, within the astral sea, just outside of every single individual solar system. But the inner planes make zero sense whatsoever. They’re essentially just “alternate universes,” or exist solely within one’s imagination. There’s no way to visualize their location on any kind of three dimensional map, because you can’t put them on a map, because they aren’t anywhere. If you sail out to sea from Baldur’s Gate on a spelljammer, then ascend to the stars, you will gradually leave the atmosphere of the “material plane,” which just refers to planets and their atmospheres, and end up in wildspace, which has other small bits of “material plane” orbiting the local star. One of the first things you’d notice is that there are no inner planes. There’s no sphere of wind, water, earth and fire literally encapsulating Toril. There’s no moon where the feywild is, or another moon where the shadow fell is. So all of these “maps” of the “inner planes” are just made by people who don’t understand that DND is set in a 3 dimensional universe that has space travel. I feel like the only possible way for the “inner planes” to exist, is if they’re all located inside of each individual planet/moon. As if they were all hollow. Then you could have quadrants of all the major elements, with small portions in between dedicated to where they meet and combine. But yeah, this whole rant was to express my frustration with the fact that getting into actual dnd lores and writing campaigns for them is nearly impossible, because every single book seems to rely on an entirely different fantasy universe with different rules and laws. There’s zero consistency, and you can’t have a world with both inner planes, as they’ve been depicted, alongside spelljammers. And the feywild/shadowfell? They just have to be completely alternate universes or something, with zero physical connection to the “real” world. I don’t even know how to begin rationalizing them lol

  • @baitposter
    @baitposter 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Gotta say, I'm not a fan of the elemental planes. A plane of solid rock, an entirely submarine plane, and being immersed into a sun just don't do it for me. Not the best planes for adventures on their own.
    The Negative Energy plane, though, is one of my _favorite_ planes in general. A plane of true death, annihilation, nyctophobia, and undead that you'd need a magic spacesuit to survive makes for a good adventure pit stop, and it's good worldbuilding utility to have an endpoint for all things.

  • @Wisteriu
    @Wisteriu 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    One round still equals 6 seconds. One turn equals 1 minute. There are ten rounds in a turn. The two terms are not interchangeable, which slips people up sometimes. Becomes important with spell durations though.

    • @WadeAllen001
      @WadeAllen001  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Not in 2e. Page 91 of the AD&D 2e Player's Handbook says that one round is one minute, and ten rounds equals one turn. Whereas in 5e, one round is six seconds, and there are as many turns within a round as there are combat participants (page 189 of the 5e Player's Handbook).

  • @Aurora2097

    Sounds like a rather primitive worldview, more alchemy than science. It sounds so antithetic to life that i cannot really imagine any actual story being set there.Life would only evolve where certain elements mix but maybe just my imagination is too rational and shortsighted to be able to think such elemental worlds.

  • @Atmatan
    @Atmatan ปีที่แล้ว

    Magic in every other setting besides dnd is generally based on the power of mind over matter meaning that no spellcaster should remotely have problems in any of the planes where personal belief plays a role.
    Lightning wont strike me because i imagine im surrounded in a metal cage to ground it, gravity is what i want it to be because i imagine the ground to be where i need it to be.
    This is why Mage is the superior ruleset when it comes to any form of belief based interactions.
    Why should i role for wisdom when the inherent nature of ny class should let me change how i view the world and my paradigm at will?
