| No. Open Design should concentrate on humbler fare with a wider audience. |

I adored how Planescape did this, and often presented different, clashing truths from different unreliable narrators. I tried to capture some of that style in TGB.
And fwiw, I like to revisit those mysteries in other products when it makes sense. For instance, Tegresin the Laughing Fiend first shows up in The Great Beyond, but he pops back up in Classic Treasures Revisited in the Well of Worlds chapter with some more detail. There are several others, but the books haven't come out yet so I can't say that they'll be kept post-editing, but I do try to go back and give nibbles on some of those things I put out as open questions and plot hooks. 
And back on the main topic, yeah I'd totally be game to contribute something to an open design project out on the planes.
*nibbles on a soul* |
+1 to this. No matter what the eventual shape of the project is, I hope it follows the hallowed Planescape traditions as you did in The Great Beyond. To my money, Planescape was some of the best material ever written for D&D, or RPGs in general. I still pore over my collection of books for inspiration, and I'm even running Dead Gods currently in a Pathfinderized version (heavily modified) on Paizo as a PbP. |

Well, the time is coming to put out the call to senior patrons about what they'd like to see for Spring projects. This is definitely on the list.

I'd definitely be willing to be a sponsor for such a project! I love the idea. |

I will conditionally say I will do my first max patronage on this puppy if it is proposed. |

While I don't share his enthusiasm ... you know me. Beam me up, Scotty!
And actually, I probably do share his enthusiasm, just perhaps not his budget, if max patronage is what I think it is :) |

There is no "Max" patronage, you could self fund an entire project for a couple thousand I believe. Usually the highest level they list is around $150-$250. If someone really wanted to spend more I'm sure Wolfgang can find appropriate perks.

Whatever the top patronage level is called then. I'll start saving my shekels now. I'm not gonna be able to save several thousand, but $150-250 to help a project I'd love to see reach the light of day is cool by me. |

Don't worry, if a planar project is announced, enough of us will rush to patronage for it to be greenlit.

If you don't want to devote the project entirely to pathfinder, but include common elements between zobeck and pathfinder, you could expand upon the clockwork plane to be a pathway to a plane of time. This would be the inner workings on how planes work, which would be equivalent to modern day black holes, dark matter, etc. You can make machines the main focus (clockwork plane) and it would basically be the antithesis of a fantasy campaign by including machinery or related items that can not be heavily influenced by magic.
With this you could borrow from both settings, and move forward into new territory as well. |

One thing worth mentioning:
In one of the official Zobeck books, Wolfgang had to e-mail Monte Cook because I worked in "Beyond Countless Doorways" references to get around using Wizards' planar scheme. So if Monte is up for it and Wolfgang is up for it, there's precedent in Midgard canon to use a schema of planes similar to - and incorporating - stuff from "Beyond Countless Doorways" already.
That being said, it's only one or two references so it might be safe to errata that out because there wasn't a Midgard back during that book.

Yep, the time is not far off for the spring project poll.
This one and at least 2 or 3 others are on the list for Pathfinder. I'll poll the current patrons about what they'd like to see.... Er, probably after Christmas.
