"material plane is what we would consider normal" SCP intensifies
*Excitedly laughs In humes*
"material plane is what we would consider normal (your mileage may vary)"
the chaos insurgency wishes to know your location
*chuckles in SCP-001: Normality
Trillian: we have normality repeat we have normality anything you can't deal with is therefore your own problem
"So the planes are infinite, meaning you can't physically reach the spot where they 'end', right?"
"Well yes, but actually no."
Unmeasurable distances are fun!
They might only be infinite in the first three dimensions.
I think most of them are basically wedge-shaped, so only infinite in one direction.
@@Myzelfa again isn't non-Euclidian geometry just fun
Well there can be infinite 2d planes in a 1 centimetre thick borad. But even if they are infinite the board has a top and bottom
"It deserves its own video"
Every time you say that give us THAT video
Hahaha
I agree
Gotta smash that like button!
Why not both?
Heh. Can't blame you for only lightly touching on the topic. Getting into this in-depth would probably be several hours, and that's *before* going into Spelljammer. Which takes the Planescape idea and cranks that shit to 11.
Edit: spelling correction due to fat thumbs on a phone 'keyboard'.
Each plane deserves it's own video!
@@lostbutfreesoul AJ Pickett, baby. Everyone else is just a weak ass imitation.
@@matthewhartshorn5204 mr.rhrexx and jorphan is good Aj picket even recomends them on the stellar dragon vid
@@lorekeeper685 Mr. Rhexx annoys me because he spends 5 minutes at the end of every video stroking his patreons off and begging for even more patreons when he already has so many it takes 5 whole minutes to list them, and also his voice drives me insane he sounds like he is taking a big shit through the entire video. Jorphdan I do enjoy.
@@matthewhartshorn5204 I have an issue with anypme that sponsors with that "Raid Shadow" trash. Strongly dislike any game that relentlessly asks for you to pay for upgrades.
And yeah, I also have issue with the ones that beg for support on nearly every video. Bothers me. So I tend to not watch their content.
Dude thanks so much, I'm writing a homebrew world right now and filling out what the plains mean in it and this helped so much.
They are really good for working out what deities will be in your world as well.
Two or three for each plane should give you a massive amount of lore to work with.
As i fall asleep to the tales of Lord Blackwood, I can only imagine legends he would tell of the Planes in campaigns.
You could also find people to play D&D and explore that world for yourself.
Might I suggest the STALKER series for it is very much one of the inspiration for SCP (if you ask me, lots of x posters also posted on v as everybody on that site love video games), got anomalies, mutants and human factions within a containment zone in ukraine around chernobyl that very much feels like you're in a contained anomalous area, the atmosphere in it is incredible for this :^)
I literally gasped with delight when I saw this. Looks like not being able to sleep has its perks
Aint that the truth
The 'joys' of working night shift in my case.
@Michael S. with what prove do you have against this claim?
@Michael S. ...also, what proof do you have that he didn't giggle and prance around the room whinnying like a pony? You can't guarantee that!
@@PaladinLevi LMAO
I suffer from depression and it’s hard to sit with my own thoughts but this channel makes it easier to make it through my day by taking my mind off of things for a bit. Thank you.
EPIC
Do you enjoy the outdoors?
i would recommend you go running its pretty easy to do that and u will forget about most of ur negative thoughts
I ask because these types of videos really help pass the time while walking or hiking.
@@justeremiahsjourney yea I would prefer to spend my time outside if I could
Youve got to be the best nerd lore channel Ive come across for one simple reason.
You put artist credit links in your desciptions.
So much good art I cant find because most just show, but dont tell.
Worth noting that the Positive and Negative Energy planes are INCREDIBLY important, though 4th edition lumped the pos into the feywild and the neg into the shadowfell, which I think was a terribly reductive and unnecessary change (and far worse than the somewhat silly "elemental chaos"). Positive and Negative energy are the 5th and 6th inner planes, along with Fire, Earth Air, and Water; and while the 4 elements form a ring around the prime material, the 2 energies are above and below. The inner planes can thus be visualized as a sort of cube. Like the paraelemental planes such as magma and ice, there are 8 quasielemental planes at the borders between an energy plane and an elemental plane - the most well-known of which is the quasielemental plane of electricity, between positive and air.
The importance of the energy planes is that they represent creation and entropy. All (natural) life springs from the positive energy plane, and is consumed by the negative energy plane. Of course, both plains are equally deadly to mundane humanoids - on the positive energy plane, a prime material creature will heal until its HP is maxed, then eventually pop like a firecracker into raw positive energy. Likewise, a prime material creature wastes away into nothing on the negative energy plane.
And all that basically means you can create whatever funky plane for your homebrew campaign, and technically it will be cannon. If don't tamper with established universal history.
In 5e the Negative and Positive energy planes are at the edge of the cosmology, they're linked to the Lower and Upper planes respectively
Plane Scape is my favourite game in DnD and one where things are truly defined in my opinion. Glad you mentioned it.
1:39 hol up
That's a Cacodemon from Doom but with *BIG MEATY CLAWRS*
you have it backwards cacos look like the astral dreadnought.
11:25 Totally unrelated, but this scene is EPIC! And it's a STILL IMAGE!
Yo, please freaking reply to me, right freaking now!!!
What about the trains and automobiles of existence?
_The bridge is out_
Don't be silly.
There are no trains of existence.
Only planes, saws and sanders of existence.
Jesse Berg you’re not ruling out the cars of existence.
They're on Acheron but are broken and can never be fixed
this is such an underrated comment
Man's pumping out the content 🙏 Thank you I can't sleep without these
agreed
so you sleep twice a week at most? what a chad
Literally same
That’s what she said
These late night uploads are always a pleasant surprise. Thanks chief.
I love these DnD vids, wish you’d do more frequently
Try covering the Underdark.
"Siggle"
Yep. The only thing that triggered me a little. I hope he will make a proper video about Sigil and Lady of Pain as well as touch Planescape: Torment storyline. Maybe someday.
Yeah, even though it's spelt "Sigil" which is typically pronounced with a soft g, the official lore dictates that the city's name is pronounced with a hard g.
Only reason I'd accept for this is "so my players don't get it mixed up with that one type of magical symbols that isn't glyphs or runes".
😔
@@TheHalogen131 Planescape: Torment is one of my favorite games ever! In all the planes!
To explore and PLUNDER you say?
*smiles in Softo ando Wetto*
thats gay
Ur name is amazing.
hell yeah, dnd
Do Not Disturb ?
Loving all this D&D. Great job, as always, Mangg.
How
@@SORRYBUTYOURENEXT Patron reward would be my guess
3am: RUclips notify me of a new video
Me: I guess sleeps not that important
I really hope this series also continues for a while, literally my favorite two things are DnD and SCP. So this channel is just absolutely perfect
I could listen to a deep dive of each of these planes.
You and Mr. Rhex need to make a crossover covering these planes!
@Warlok eh, I don't care all that much. More info. is all fun!
I got into the game right as 2nd ed started. I loved Planescape, loved how it was structured and described. One of the things that caused me to stop playing was how later editions messed with the structure of the planes, as well as how Wizards of the Coast decided to blow up and rearrange just about all their game worlds. Never really liked the Feywild and Shadow realm things. Always seemed to me those could be done with demi-planes attached to a given prime world, thus allowing different worlds to have different, well, I guess you could call them localized cosmologies. Plus it also fundamentally changed the demi-plane of Shadow. And the elemental chaos just seems like 2e's Limbo, the chaotic neutral outer plane.
4e fucked everything up for everyone; WotC left the planes alone for the entirety of 3e
Exploring D&D. 1. Spelljamming. 2. Examples of alignments 3. The synergies and polar opposite of spell schools. 4. What happens when a halfling rolls the checks and used a bag of holding to capture a delayed blast fire ball? (Once the bag is closed, the extra dimensional space is cut off. ) I did this... We waited two weeks for an official pulling from WotC haha 3rd edition. My group hates me till this day
What about the positive and negative energy planes and the quasi-elemental planes?
Positive and negative planes have been scaled back HARD in 5th edition unfortunately. They are not places of adventure, so they don't get much lore beyond simple description. Their properties have also been mostly rolled into feywild/shadowfell.
@Charlie Botterell No those are the para-elemental planes. The quasi-elemental planes are where the elemental and para-elemental planes meet the energy planes.
@Charlie Botterell Yeah. There are Sixteen of those in total.
Working on a homebrew planescape campaign, these videos are so helpful for inspiration
It doesn't help that different crystal spheres sometimes have their own cosmologies, and sometimes don't - the Orrery cosmology of Eberron is fundamentally different from the Great Wheel cosmology of Planescape, but they both exist at the same time in the same meta-universe, albeit in different crystal spheres

I'm really enjoying these D&D videos (certainly more than the SCP ones). It's funnily enough always been one of those rpg's I've only ever skirted around the edges of but never actually played.
Absolutely love this series. Never really cared for D&D before but now I'm left wondering how I lived without it.
The outer planes seem super interesting, I hope you make a video about them in the future.
Remember "Throne of Bloodstone" anyone? 18 to 100th level characters. Go find Orcus and take his scepter.
Just a note, you can also go to any plane by using the infinite stairwell
5:00 yes but actually no
I suggest you look into spelljammer and the Crystal spheres technically each of the Prime material worlds like mystara eberron faerun all exist in the same universe but separated from each other by vast distances in a vast sea of multicolored plasma each world is contained in a small solar system bounded by a crystal sphere one can travel between the crystal spheres using a special kind of ship called a spelljammer
The planes and realms are the most facsinating part of D&D. Cant wait for you to talk about the outer planes ..Planescape Torment is based on them and its philosophys and physcial representation to the alienments are cool and the races as well...anyway, Planescape baby
Jesus Christ I love PS:T
As a DM I am a big fan ov planar travel. I also enjoy sending parties off to random planes thru the use ov enemy spells, traps, cursed (or not) magic items that teleport, and Spelljammer ships (I have those in my games as well).
But I also use some random Rifts Nexus (from the Rifts Earth rpg) points opening and sending out foes or allowing my party to travel to Rifts Earth, which they have done more than a few times. One PC has a plasma rifle and bladed gauntlet from Atlantis (both do MD, mega damage, where 1point equals 100damage), but he only has one shot left. And no one is proficient with the gauntlet so they are just as likely to hurt an ally(it is jet-propelled, so very hard to use unless trained). Always a gamble.
*edit* typos
4:28 I refuse to believe that's how Sigil is pronounced. It just can't be.

The planes often defy expectation...
Can i cure my Existential crisis in this place?
Sure. Just go to Sigil. Go up to the ten foot tall feminine figure referred to as 'Her Serenity' by some. Trust me, all your problems will likely be over in very short order.
@@McDonaldWilliamT Thanks a lot, i appreciate it
At first I thought thus was "The Plague of Existence," and now I'm low key disappointed.
You made my day a lot better ,thank you very much!
Great video, but you could have briefly mentioned the positive and negative planes.
The Positive Energy Plane is a realm that consist entirely of "positive energy", or life energy in its purest form. If you actually whent there though you would explode, as normal life gets overloaded.
The Negative Energy Plane is the opposite. A realm of "anti-life", which is the energy that fuels every undead creature in existance, but devours all life. It's a realm of pure death.
@Charlie Botterell Interesting creatures live in them though, and one, the nightwalker, most commonly enters the material plane after some unlucky bastard enters the negative plane, survives, and gets trapped there.
@Charlie Botterell Most people do just instantly die, yes, all though undead are just fine in the negative plane, and there are things in there that can get the attention of a vampire or a lich. It's not just void in there.
And it's already great for spawning monster. The nightwalker belongs to a group of creatures collectively called nightshades, which also include the nightwing, the nighthaunt, and the nightcrawler.
I don't know why, but I LOVE talking about the planes in D&D.
The sigil sounds like a great place for a videogame to take place, maybe a deity trying to break in and the lady of pain sends you as her follower to stop it.
There was a video game set in Sigil. You basically played a dude who can't remember who he is and can't die. You may have heard of it. Planescape:Torment. It is a cult classic and critically acclaimed
There is also a positive and negative elemental plane. That is what creates the more positive energy fey mirror world and the more negative energy shadowfell shadow to the prime material plane. Then there are transitory planes between each of the 4 'classic' elemental planes and the 2 energy plains, gem, radiance etc, ash, etc. Though the energy planes seem to come from somewhere further since the entire outer wheel is split into positive good aligned and negative evil aligned planes.
Ha yes the famous alieen plane, where creature who defy logic and reason exist, like leeches the size of horses, of entirly composed of nails or thread . . .
Basicly its Lovecraft with a shiet lod of body horror upgraded to 11.
I also remeber an illustration from on the rule bbooks, where we can see one of it's inhabithants, it's "head" is an enormous claw.
Just started DMing and this is helpful. Thanks
I see that the Quasi-Elemental Planes (Elemental + Positive or Negative) are still absent. RIP.
I see exploring series I. C L I C C.
Plane of Silly and Unused Monsters from Castle Greyhawk 1988?
Also, love how you skipped 4e.
Finally, according to lore, they don't know how the planes are aligned nor their location, although the "Great Wheel" is the most used map by scholars in most of the multiverse.
Love your videos.
I’m pretty sure the city of Sigil is pronounced with a “juh” sound.
As much as it irks me, he said it correctly. It was confirmed in an interview with the writers of planescape. I don’t know if that was merely a way of separating for future copyright... either way even though according to canon it should be pronounced “Sy-gill”, you can do whatever works for you :)
Here dumb www.google.com/search?q=sigil+pronunciation
@@thomassierp5583 thank you for the information
you can easily hear the difference in quality from now to a year ago. i can’t even hear the denoising if you’re using any man so keep up the good work
Planescape is my favorite campaign setting in D&D.
7:43
so basically, entering the Ethereal Plane is like toggling noclip on?
cool
This is by far my favorite video.
It's a bit of a shame he stopped covering D&D, but boy did he go out on a high note.
Bro, me and thousands of other people love these videos, you’re great.
Can you do the Astral Dreadnought next??
“30 seconds ago” and here I was about to go to bed...
dont worry i fell asleep around 9PM pst woke up 30 minutes ago its now 12am and cant go back too sleep so its youtube and tarkov for the night.
lol same
One of the nice parts about working night shift. Guy always uploads when I'm stupidly bored at work
I marked your uploads down to Sundays but, damn son, thank you. Nice little treat after I just killed a giant roach before bed.
I would love for an entire video on sigil I want to somehow incorporate it into a campaign of mine
Excellent summary. I've been playing a Planescape campaign since the 90's and prefer that cosmology to the more recent versions.
What I would love to see is an exploring MTG series, lots of different topics to choose from in there.
I would love to see an Outer Planes video.
I don’t know why, but that background music/ambient noise triggers my anxiety with a passion.
Please, make a video about the Outer Planes, and maybe another one about the Planescape and Spelljammer settings!
As a fan of d&d3.5 and pathfinder vids like this are to me ear candy
The moment I saw the video title I started crying because the gods heard my prayers. Thank you.
My players went walking willingly into the Feywild through a fey crossing and then immediately got lost. None of them have any way out.
So, seeing as (again) 4e lore is getting snubbed (I'm not bitter...), lets give my semi-regular version of how that version an things.
The 4e planar system is called the World Axis and the structure of it is actually the basis for one of the most major events in that setting. In effect, the cosmos is shaped sort of like an hourglass when views from a mortal perspective, eith the Material plane sitting at the border between the Elemental Chaos and the Astral Sea.
The Elemental Chaos is a place of raw, ever changing matter, constantly waxing an waning from elemental states. Here, the worlds take impossible forms of glaciers of fire, wind falling from the sky onto beds of boiling rock and great storms of ice that wash up and down burning shores with the tide. Here elementals, djinn and above them all, Primordials made their home.
The Astral Sea is the home of the Gods and their servants; a vast sparkling ocean of astral energy bestet with shining worlds shaped by their patrons from untamed concepts and stray matter that has drifted away from the Chaos. Here gods, angels and devil dwell, while githyanki pirates sail the energy tides to pillage and raid.
Between them all stands the Prime Material plane and it's Light and Dark reflections. The greatest greation of both Gods and Primordials, this shining jewel was the basis of the Dawn War, which I shall mention in a bit.
Of the reflections, the matter deemed too 'dark' was set adrift to become the Shadowfell, a dim, deathly realm where vibrancy and energy are scarce. The occupants of this realm must struggle daily else go hollow and fade away.
On the other side, is the Feywild, where all the matter too 'bright' was sent. It is a lush, vibrant and savage realm where every day is a fight to survive against the other furious denizens and is home to Fey of all kinds.
As for the Dawn War, when the Primordials made the Material plane, they then moved on to other works. The Gods found this fledgling world and build upon it, until the Primordials arrived to take back what was theirs. This sparked the Dawn War which ended in the death of many gods, and the slaying and banishing of nearly all the Primordials. In the carnage, a shard of Evil in it's purest form was weaponised against the Chaos and the scar it left formed the Abyss, twisting all it touches into demons. Meanwhile, the conflict shattered the Topaz Gate, the monelithic structure that kept the malign influence of the Outer Planes at bay. With those shattered, abbarations of sinister Star beings slipped in and their influence is what caused Psionics to emerge, though if this is derived from corruption or a cosmic immune response is highly debated.
Eventually, the war was ended when the Primal Spirits, true natives of the Prime Material drove away the crippled forces of both sides and informed them both that the world was under their protection. Both sides still maintain some influence, with the Gods spreading their worshippers and the Primordials licking their wounds and gathering cults in anticipation of a return, some more openly than others. One day, the Dawn War will rage once more, but by then, it will fall upon mortal champions to wage it and determine the fate of creation once and for all. But that day is far off and distant.
The 4e planar cosmology is overly simplistic and has little place in the D&D canon. If it was in its own setting then that'd be just fine - Eberron's Orrery model was a great change of pace from the default Great Wheel of 3e and earlier - but the Axis model is so vastly inferior to other models that trying to retcon it into the Realms was just a stupid idea. Nobody complains about Ghostwalk's really weird cosmology because it was entirely self-contained, but the 4e Axis continues to leave its stink on 5e with the Feywild and the Shadowfell being watered down fusions of previous planes.
@@havokmusicinc See, here I disagree with you. I find the great wheel cosmology overly rigid and the realms within it kinda boring. "Welcome to the plane of fire!" Whats here? "Fire and very little else" There is only so much you can do with a world of nothing but water or air, while the Chaos gives you options for some really bizzare lands to travel.
@@Gitskreig How much do you know about the planes of the Great Wheel to consider them "boring" (especially the Outer Planes)?
Love your videos
If each DnD campaign exists in its own material plane, and gate/planeshift exist...
You can canonically do crossovers heh
Limbo Is the most entertaining Dimension.
Please do a video on Sigil. It’s so awesome
Your videos always entertain me
Somewhere in all of this is a broken off piece of reality called "The Shard", centered on the plane of Dominaria.
Looking good.
You've given us good information.
My alignment would be. mixture of Lawful, Neutral and Chaotic Good.
Arborea and the Nine Hells are the coolest, change my mind.
I reccommend Jorphdan on RUclips. He explains all things Lore in DnD.
Your telling me, the design for the Cacodemon from the original Doom 1 and 2 comes from AD&D !!!!!! 😂I saw this and was like wtf does this meet ball have arms and legs
Could you do a video on the Far Realm and its inhabitants sometime?
3:54 the beastlands look familiar?
i have some quests that are supposed to happen in the elemental planes and I am still figuring how without killing the pcs outright
If only llamas were in D&D
O for outer planes
S for sigil
*Crystal Kingdom flashbacks intensify*
Please make a vídeo for each positive and negative plane
You know being up at 3am can have its perks.
I would like one on the Lady of Pain, please.
Bonus week!
AD&D Planescape = BEST. SETTING.
Since this and magic the gathering have crossover stuff either the entire mtg multiverse is part of the material plane or all this is one plane in the MTG multiverse. either way its planes withing planes
Thou shalt not fuck with The Lady of Pain.
Yes! I'm so sick and tired of SCP stuff!!!!!
This is the first i am hearing about this sigil place.
Finally, some good fucking food.
