Other, Between, and Under – The Worlds Beyond ROUND UP
Hello Beautiful People!
I was honoured to host first RPG Blog Carnival 2025. Our topic was Other, Between, and Under – The Worlds Beyond and you delivered. I love those contributions let me sum them up for you.
First we have Xaoseed from Seed of Worlds blog and their Folk Knowledge of Minor Planar Ways. I love the idea that regular folk knows of some ways to get to other planes just no one does it - for a commoner it is almost certain death or something worse and there is nothing to gain. What a thought!

Next we have Atelier Hwei from Alone in the Labyrinth blog and Exploring Dawn Realm post which is a depthcrawl set of procedures for when you get to Dawn Realm (Pariah spin on feywild) and step continously deeper. It gets bloody near the bottom!

Taichara from Lone Knight blog and The Other Side post which informs us about titular other side which is definitely not natural neither nice place. Quite terrible actually but also terribly convenient. With all sorts of creatures and encounters to stumble upon!

Robgoblin and Bridge Between Worlds post that tells us about bridges as liminal spaces (why didn't I thought to make "Liminal" this month's topic?) that lead you anywhere, as well as ways to work around it. And rivers, the bridges reason to exist.

Weird Eidolon from Consequest blog shows us The Nothing-Eater, The Thing-Between, a hunger that devours reality, something quite incomprehensible yet no less inevitable.

Panic Pillow from Tabletop Curiosity Cabinet blog gave us The Liminal Mists - what a regular mist can do to you, and the world in general, as it rolls through the land. Very nice twist and addition to all those weather tables and hexflowers.

Sea of Stars presents us The Otherworld Lands of the Courts of the Seasons and other. A tale of the Courts, the Dragon Empress, the events following the barriers closing old gates and passages between realms and then fae finding ways to get their pathways to work again.
Empedocles from Elemental Reductions blog gives us Stormheart: Between Air & Water, a spin on Spelljammer centered around, you guessed it, elements. The Sky and the Deep, and The Mother of Storms roaring barrier between these elemental planes. Dive deep!
