After vs Life

[Millstone85]

Wow, this might be the most depressing thread I've ever read on these forums. Every last plane sounds downright Evil, serving only to slowly break down and erase everyone's personhood until they become as useful as possible to a small gang of elites.

It also makes it harder for me to buy that the alignment system in OOTSverse makes any sense whatsoever. If there are Good gods running planes like this, what does Good even mean? Is it just another word for "nice(r), at least in some circumstances"?

Good in D&D = self-sacrifice for the Greater Good, to ease others' suffering. Good gods use the energy from souls who have sacrificed themselves in the service of Good in the past to continue doing Good acts in the world, through the actions of their clerics.

This reminds me of another thread.

What alignment is 'For the greater Good'?

Good in the OotS multiverse might indeed be the greater good / lesser evil metaphysically available.
