What is the afterlife or afterlives like in your setting? How accurate is mortal perception of it while alive, and how does that affect the setting? And what do you need to remember when creating an afterlife?

I have intentionally left it vague and trapped in various conflicting religious metaphors based around 1500-1600s wars of religion.
There is some sort of heaven and some sort of hell, they are in conflict. There is some 3rd path paganism antidulivian monstrosity and whatever the Celestial bureaucracy is up to.
Resurrection is rare enough it has only come up once and I grabbed the KJB and used some random bits (from Peter) and ended up with visions of building stone monuments in the desert.
Unless you're doing some grand sweeping metacomic campaign the specific details of a fully encompassing afterlife don't seem as useful as having a general idea of the various themes and the ability to translate those to your players.

In D&D it's D&D. In VtM it's WoD's afterlife (Wraith has always been my favorite setting, so that). In other games this doesn't come up and I don't try to define iti.

What's with the flowers? Are they supposed to be in Heaven or on Earth?

I'm starting to like settings where there is no afterlife, guaranteed, no rules bent about it. When a character dies, that's it, they're dead.

I don't like different dimensions, so the heavens and hells are usually both deep underground and sometimes you can wander into them by accident as a mortal which usually ends badly.

Have you got any suggestions of your own, OP?

Why is it your favorite?

>>97859536
Just classic Heave and Hell. Nothing fancy.

What's wrong with "setting"?

Ignore him, he's one of those losers that has no imagination so he seethes when anyone wants to talk about settings.

Oh, I thought that he was making some joke about the spelling or something, thanks.

You become a ghost and inhabit a spiritual plane next to the mortal world, but invisible and intangible.
