Do you have ideas for how to use the Planes in ways that nobody has used them before? Are you not satisfied with what the published materials have to say, and you want to add ideas of your own that you think make the Planes more fun than what some businessman from California came up with in the for-profit guidebooks? Or do you not have ideas for how to make a Plane more fun, and you think somebody else in the Playground might be able to help?
I offer this archive, which will revolve around the Great Wheel cosmology, as a guide for people to see - at a glance - which Planes the rest of the forum has had the most interest in improving vs. which ones have not gotten very much attention yet.
If you see a Plane on this list that you don't feel has enough attention, then feel free to start a thread with your ideas for improving the Plane, post a reply here with a link to the thread that you started - and possibly a quick blurb about how your treatment of the Plane will be different from everybody else's - and I will add the link to the OP when I get the chance.
If you would like to make a request for somebody else to start a thread about a Plane that you need ideas for using differently, then you can feel just as free to post a reply here asking for such a thread, and I will update the archive as soon as I can: first, to show when you have requested work on a Plane, and second, if and when anybody makes a thread to meet the request.
There is no rule against adding a repeat thread to a Plane that somebody else has already started their own for (although it is very quietly discouraged), nor should every single Plane get it's own thread(s) for the sake of "completing the list" unless you are specifically interested in that Plane for it's own sake.
Any questions about official, published canon should be taken to afroakuma's Questions Thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?372289-afroakuma-s-Planar-And-Other-Oddities-Questions-Thread-5!).
Also, if I make any glaring mistakes, such as classifying a particular Quasi-Para-Elemental according to the wrong components, then I would take it as a personal favor to be alerted in a PM rather than a reply. It's not that I want to appear perfect by having any and all mistakes kept secret :smallbiggrin:, it's just that I want the people who subscribe to this thread to know that an update means "Somebody might be starting another Plane Thread, yay!" rather than "Oh look, Tragak made another secretarial error, bored now."
