Beats me... I don't know the rules for astral domains well enough to say for sure.
I can make a couple guesses, though...
1. The dimension collapses and expells or destroys everybody in it.
2. The dimension goes feral.

buy rifter 9
it states that the astral relem
dies with its owner

And since it's in a Rifter it's therefore OPTIONAL. Personally it think the ones that aren't trapped all to crazy are colonized by Tarantuloids (they gotta live somewhere).

'Nother words, they're [shiver]still out there[/shiver]...

Hey! this gets me thinking... Since you determine the Location (table J) of a domain with Creation points, you can go back later and move your domain...right? Like pull the whole thing into the inner plane, or onto a ley line, or push it to the edge of the Void...Or into the Void?

...you know, so no one could move in after you die

They start to unravel...

Generally, most will not survive more than a few weeks after his/her death.

We've run it like this.

It starts to decay.

Nasty things move in (whatever you want them to be).

It starts to change, subtly taking on the aspects and views of the most powerful personality within.

The nasty things that moved in start taking on changes as dictated by the (sub-concious) mind of the strongest personality.

If you've played the game Castlevania, you might look at how the castle itself changes through the incarnations to reflect the differant changes in Dracula and the others who have held sway there over the years. That kind of thing. Of course, it doesn't have to be dark and evil. It could be light and good if someone else, somethint not evil, finds it's way there.

Sure, that would work just fine.

Well we had an astral mage cake it and using our extensive GMing experience managed to resolve it, our theory went a little like this.
It all depends on what level of the plane your on, a realm in the void would collapse in on itself as soon as the will of the mage (bless his soul ) passes from this world, the void would crush the PPE out of the realm, in outer plane a realm would slowly "leak" the PPE into the surronding ectoplasm, the realm would start losing its most expensive features first, say losing 10 creation points a day, but remember astral time, if your on earth and see your astral buddy cake it and you have left the most important items & information in there (yes am talking from experience), by the time you gat there even if you hurry and it takes 15 minutes, nah thats 15 weeks on the outer plane that realm is bye bye.
A similar effect would happen on the inner plane except it would take longer to dissolve (so to speak). maybe 5 creation points a day because the inner plane is more stable than the rest. The only execptions would be realms on dragon roads or better yet Nexus points, I'd give them a % chance of surviving depending on the creation points pumped into it, in other words how much soul the mage put into it If it survives then all laws concerning access (limited, hard and such like) drop, the realm would then no doubt attract lots of evil nastys.

Then it would go down the road mentioned by The Artist Formerly, odds are would turn into one of thoses astral hells Victor Lazlo nearly goes in, nevermind what the Nightlords can do .

Well that a theory, feel free to embrace, dis, mock you get it
