Assume that with the Magnificent Mansion spell, you can have windows in the mansion that appear to look out on a landscape, even though the mansion is actually in its own little universe and there's really nothing outside. Which landscape would you have appear in the windows? It can be from any setting you want, and from any plane. Even instantly lethal places are OK, it's just an illusion.

Sprawling meadows, with flowers and such.
With a dark maelstrom of chaos for a sky.

I thought this was going to be thread for describing random setting imagery from our campaigns. Maybe its sad that I was interested in that.

I'd have the windows overlook a giant city, as if the mansion was on a great tower or cliffside and is the tallest building in the city. Clearly, the implication is that you own or rule it.

Looking out over the stars and planets of the multiverse. Perhaps a different plane of existence outside each window.

I think on epic scales :smallbiggrin:

A sky speeding upwards, so it looks as if the Mansion is falling.

The "blind spot" of the Astral Plane, in all its nine-dimensional glory. What's the point of being a wizard, if you can't boldly stare into the face of the sanity-defying incomprehensible?

a white featureless plane, that stretches forever.

Or a masonry wall with tapestries hanging on it… oh wait.

A large city. The people are fleeing in every direction. Towering over the city, we can see a titanic armored warrior adorned with holy symbols, bracing himself as a massive fur-clad wildman charges him, transforming into a bear midair as he leaps to meet his foe.

Looks like reruns of Clericzilla vs Druidzilla. You remembered to prepare that custom cantrip that makes popcorn, right?

ok, i didn't know how serious you were, i'm not realy, but here are a few quick ideas:

1) dwarf porn (hey, if the MiTD liked it...)

2) elf porn (soft core)

3) survivor D&D style: 18 goblins, each chained to a bag of shinies, are left alone in a dungeon, with a group of PCs about to enter. who will survive last?

4) changling porn (for those special fantasies!)

5) life style of the Lich and famous! bringing the rotting details of your favorite undead! (next week- Xykon!)

6) the afterlife tourism channel: and tonight- the seventh layer of the abyss!

7) succubi porn (please consult your physician before viewing this channel)

8) Toril Idol: and tonight we have Kress the Harpy from the west...

9) nature channel: "look closely, as we track the juvenile blue dragon in it's natural habitat. look, as it waits anxiously as the adventures approach. such majesty, such grace, such... oh ****! it spotted us! run it ell you! ru..."
<transmition interupted>

10) nymph porn: same as succubi, but less whip, more naughty!

11) weird science channel: "so we take a half fiendish hald draconic chimera, add the mutiple head and corrupt templates, vampire it, and some class level in druid, and..."

12) sports channel: "so in today's games, it's the giants against the werebears again..."

13) religious channel: "choose me! no choose me! no choose me! i'll grant you better domains!"

14) the kids channel: <a mind flayer on the screen, gazing at you> "you watch us, you will serve us. you will tell your mom and pop to take you to the happy octopus world, and bring us food! yes, yes, you will comply..."

15) the educational channel: what your teachers never told you about knowledge checks...

16) The Bad and the Endless: the continuing sagaa of the ongoing Blood War. chapter 4456378345....

17) gelatinous cubes porn- hey, if you've flipped this far, you're realy bored, and you'll watch even this...

this probably didn't help a bit, but i hope it at least mildly entertained.

The view from ten feet directly behind the viewer, looking towards the window.
