Since it was up on the planescape mail list I thought i would simal cast the idea here for peoples so they can have happiness
Ok Dokie so here is what they wanted to put up.
(what they wanted)
Ecology. Eating habits. Life cycle (I love having age tables for things).
Psychology. Anatomy and physiology. Outlook. Culture.
Do genasi make good craftsmen? What do they produce?
What do lightning genasi make from the vividium found in Lightning?
Do genasi keep pets, and what kind of pets?
How many geansi does it take to change a light bulb?
Is there any genasi literature?
These are only a few of the questions I'd like answered. And I already have
some potential ideas....
(End of what they wanted)
Ok before I go on I would accually like to see some of the talented people around contrubite not fight and bicker with each other like the mail list degenerated into.
Ok Something from me and intro to the book
(If you guys like it that is)
'Though demons and angels have always held a special place in the human heart long before they are considered the mind regards the elements as there primary interest.
Humans seek water and then fire above all else.
The Dwarves seek sheleter in the bowels of the earth.
And the Elves long to breath clean air free of oppression.
Long before we fear the animals around us as children we fear the fires power as it is much more tanable in what it can do, you feel it against your skin before you even approch it, warm and inviting yet it's nature is that of distruction.
We seek out the water as gives us life, some even say that this where we were born from, a raging sea that gave rise to life.
Yet to much and we will drown.
The earth gives us shelter, when the heavens split asunder we seek it's shelter, yet how many of us know of tales of miners lost to it's bowels.
And Air it gives us life above all else so much so that it has bonded us like slaves if we are with out it for mere moments we will die.
Do you see the theme my fellows?
Though each one lets us live, they do so with only a touch for too much of this raw power and we will die or become slave.
For this is the cunning nature of that which sustains us.'
(In the brown quote sections like cut and paste you have seen planescape books you know what I am talking about!)
"Great more fraken wierdos, I remember when we could just sit and have a coffee by oursleves"
A Narzugon commenting on a passing Postive Plane Gensi to a Hound Archon.
(half way down the page)
" 'That' is coffee? "
(At bottom of page)
"You know what I mean!"
What you have provided isn't what "they wanted" answered. Those questions you have quoted were MY questions. You have provided no information from others on the list - just mine. Will you please contribute something from the others on the list?
Also, the list degraded into bickering because 'Galen Musbach' was trying to tell me that Radiance doesn't exist (which it does) and he falsely stated that the Inner Planes were devoid of life, which I proved was incorrect with the proper source materials from the Planescape core.
There are other examples, but that would be anal and my point is clearly made. Radiance and the other para's and quasi's did not magically disappear because Galen wants it to be so, and the Inners' are not "devoid of life".
