I'm trying to envisions various humanoid cultures in Sigil. Generally the less common ones (but even some of the common races were sort of glossed over in Planescape), that I feel might need more coverage on how they live in Sigil, and what sort ...

Seeing as how Sigil / Outlands is in the center of EVERYTHING I find it odd that there isn't more technology being used inside. Sure electronic-age stuff would spoil some of the flavor of the setting and magic is more prevelant and on hand but if ...

This is a quote from the Excerpts: Draconomicon Metalic Dragons - Draconic Organizations preview on Wizards.com: "The Guardians of the Gates formed shortly after the god Vecna managed what no deity had ever done: He entered the City of Doors." The ...

I've decided to use Sigil for the first time in more than five years (yay!), and it's gotten me thinking about the factions. See, I always felt that a couple of them are rather redundant. For example, Mercykillers just seem like sadistic hard ...

I'm paranoid one of my players might read this, so now that I've got my idea I'm editing it away. Thanks for the help! Re: Plot point for a Planescape mystery Hmm, I'll give it a try. The cornugon makes a deal with someone he 'trusts' ...

Did anybody ever make any random encounter charts for Sigil? I'm prepping for a long jaunt in the Cage and could use some inspiration/ideas. Re: Random encounter charts for Sigil? You might want to break it down into categories. I would su ...

There are at least a couple places in Sigil where groups of people can collectively bathe and/or swim: One is the pools at the Great Gymnasium, and the other is at the Ditch on those rare occasions when the Dabus let fresh water in from Oceanus (n ...

While this won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, I modified the story of Aoskar a bit: In my mind, the conflict between Aoskar and the Lady of Pain happened BEFORE there was a Sigil. Aoskar was the deity of portals, planar travel, and unraveli ...
