Unless you want the Vastness to be using its astral magic.

Never saw a 'greater' Vastness, 'tho, just the Othernesses.

Why not a little brother to Void Lords? Some sort of Void Prince could be possible..... In fact, make the odds of something truly awesome and terrible being summoned start to increase dramatically somewhere after 15 skill. But the thing is, you have a tough choice here - you can either start a new guy, and go after the smaller and easily controlled beasties you know so well, or you can keep hunting the big game, but they have a high chance of coming out hostile. Void Summoning could be very dangerous then. Perhaps even have the chance of Horrors coming out, since they are so connected to Astral magic, it would make sense if they inhabited the Void?

Well, this is how to do the gate. I have my Preist cast returning. well in the back. This is the only "safe" way to go thru the gate. I almost allways go for one turmoil and three luck... at least with these guys. Bodyguards need not apply, bceause he says, "i'm outta here", before anything else happens. I think its "frendly territory" so the caster goes first...

I love the idea of the Void Gate. I really and truly want it to be moddable, and to be able to add void critters of my own design. I think it could be as significant a factor to base a nation around something like a Void Gate, as to base one around the ability to cast certain spells or forge items.

Suppose you had a nation that could access Tartarus, or Cocytos, One of the elemental realms, or the Japanese underworld? Maybe a gate to the far future or the far past, from which can be drawn dinosaurs or mechanical beings.
