Anyones thuaghts and ideas are welcomed! ^_^

Yeah, another setting. D&D with flying boats piloted into the vacuum of outer space, beyond the sky into the primal chaos beyond. It had some fascinating ideas in it, but it wasn't very cohesive. Eventually Planescape was brought out to be the "new" way to connect the various official D&D worlds.

In 1st edition, the way to connect different worlds was via the Astral Plane. You travel into the Astral, find a color pool leading to another campaign world, and go through it. In 3rd edition, the Plane of Shadow can be used this way: travel into Deep Shadow and into other cosmologies. In 2nd edition, there was the Flow between solar systems, beyond the crystal spheres of Spelljammer, and there was Planescape and its portals.

As for unique ideas for planes:

An endless sea of mud. Each world is a bubble in the mud.
An infinite sky full of birds. Each world is on the back of one of the birds.
A silent, empty place full of voices, without any solidity or matter. Anyone travelng through this plane loses their body, becoming merely mind and voice as they travel through it.
A cathedral of titanic proportions, filled with books the size of houses. Opening a book takes you to another world.
A dandelion seed the size of a solar system. The tip of each seed leads to another world.

That's where the Portal Jammer got it's name in our campaign... we found a spelljamming vessel - sans' helm. So we stuck it in our inn.

In the original Idea i proposed to tenshi, there would be major portals that everyone knew about, yes. but there would also be, well, think of it this way....
The City itself is almost completly enclosed. And in order to travel to differant levels you have to use ladders, stairs, ect. like a giant maze of rooms, corridors, and halls. But Depending on which route you take, even down to the tinyest turn around the corner, you pass through certain barriers that key portals. But the entire building is built extaly the same on every plane.
So, in fact, you could walk through a doorway leaving a shop, turn around, walk back through, and be in a compltly differant shop. You would have Eight entrances, but only one on each plane. It would be the ultimite center of trade. And would have to have some sort of Palidin-like police force to keep everything nice and calm. The last thing you wan't is people fighting over control of the city. Wow that would be a confusing battle.
And, if you wanted it connected to the rest of planescape, you could even have a vast underground net work, locked off by powerful magic and wards, that had a few portal to the rest of the planes. Only the useres of these portals would be locked off from the rest of the city most of the time, merchants and custumers only rarely allowed through, or those that are looking for something in particular on one of the eight planes. The supposed reason for this is to keep any rampaging fiends or over zealos celestials from running amok with nothing like the Lady of Pain to keep them in check.
But anyway, Tenshi has almost certainly deviated from this idea, But i figuerd that you guys might find a use for it, in some way or another.

There was that bar "the something serpent inn" where people enter through the portal and after that, the exit changes to another portal. People can get some eathing and sleeping while they wait for their destination to open, but they newer know when that will be.

Now, if you made a whole bunch of those bars, maybe also some shops that sell items from other primes and when you come back, they're not there (like in discworld and many horror movies), you can have a very secretive and controllable way of moving your players between primes

.... *peery look* More like she reaches over with a giant 'clue stick' and goes *whap*. *grin*

And as you're thinking on that and wondering...
Yes.
*And* a programmer.
Talk about defying stereotypes...

Naw, that's ok. I've got the feeling the male to female ratio where I play is considerably more 'normal' than in certain areas. I know generally half as many female RPers as I know male.

I think you're getting used to it.
Admittedly i've found it works better to explain the idea of role playing as a combination of ad-lib acting and ad-lib storytelling. That approach tends to be just intriguing enough that it loses geek status long enough for them to actually *consider* it.

Almost. And then she left. Although I think she only wanted to play to figure out some of the jokes Brain makes.
