Hello people! Most of you know me as Edward Davis, but some of you may also know me as EvilSandwich, founder and co-creator of the Urban Planars projet.
The Urban Planars project was originially just a thread in the d20 Modern section of the Wizards of the Coast message boards. It started out as a simple thread with a simple premise, "What if I wanted to put a modern/futuristic spin on the outer planes".
Before I could blink, dozens of people created hundreds of posts containing truckloads of great ideas and mind-boggling concepts. From the Limitless Arrays of Logos, the Atomic Wasteland of Hades, the Elemental Express, not to mention the war between the people of Earth and the Githyanki. Soon, this pile of random ideas slowly, but surely, started to form into a full-fledged campaign setting.
This project was very near and dear to myself, Persephone and many, many others, until, one day, a representive from Wizards of the Coast contacted us and more or less stated that we technically weren't allowed to do the project.
Sorry to disappoint you."
It was an understandable decision, but a metaphorical kick to the balls none the less. Persephone tried to save my idea by attempting to rework the metaplot, but almost all of us lost our will and drive to work on it. Crushed and disappointed as we were.
However, two days ago, I was browsing the old Urban Planar boards for old times sake, when I spotted a post by some guy calling himself Loki De Carabas:
I am a fan of the Urban Planes Project,

Please tell me that I'm not just having a wonderful dream, because I am three seconds from contacting Persephone and breathing life back into this project once again. If Planewalker.com would be willing to take us under their wing, I will eagerly jump back into the project. As would many others.
