Dimensions and Planar Cosmologies in Fantasy Worldbuilding

Dimensions and Planar Cosmologies in Fantasy Worldbuilding

Speculative fiction is rife with stories where the veil between the physical world and beyond is thin, where only those with the knowledge and the power can traverse the complex chaos that exists beyond material existence.

Whether you are a science fiction enthusiast who loves multiverse theories, a sword and sorcery geek who fawns over tales of enchanted realms, an urban fantasy reader who digs stories that take place in the real world but with a twist of magic and mysticism, or a horror fiction buff who entices in the thrills of the supernatural, this topic is for you!

Today, we step through the portal into the realms beyond, and take an analytical look at a beloved trope in fiction; other dimensions, and planes of existence.

Nice and comprehensive. I've always been inspired by games such as Champions: Return to Arms, with its central portal linking to various realms. These run the gamut from mechanical to mystical to chaotic.
