    Do you prefer the old Great Wheel cosmology, or the new "seperate" cosmology?


    Personally, I can't stand the new cosmology, so I will always use the Great Wheel (the *true* cosmology :p )

    Hehe, I mean in 2nd edition the Forgotten Realms were part of the "Great Wheel" but in 3rd edition FR has it's own cosmology.

    The old one just seems more logical, and gives the sense of everything being connected.

    Now there are 2 Lolths, two moradins, two grummsh's..etc.

    ...which is illogical, but the New Owners claim it's perfectly logical. As with all D&D, whatever the Old Owners created is inherently better than whatever the New Owners have created, and the latter is for a great part shameless commercial junk.

    Well, I didn't know the old system. I didn't even know there WAS an old system, and the new one makes perfect sense to me. Well, as much sense as I need it to make atleast, so there goes my vote.

    And once again, this Quick Reply thing is so wonderful!

    The Great Wheel is used in the Manual of the Planes and the New Planar Handbook, so I wouldn't really consider it "old".
