A New Online Campaign? Maybe...

Ah, cool. I'll look into that if more interest shows up.

Guess I should state now though that I want to do something a little different from "standard" planescape fare.

The ideas I'm starting to put to paper now are mainly based on three sources of inspiration:
Planescape: Torment (the best computer game of all time)
The Eberron Campaign Setting
and
Farscape (an excellent sci-fi show that I recommend to pretty much everyone)

So first of all, I don't want to use DnD rules, I think they're a little too restrictive. I'm probably going to try a variant of White Wolf's Storyteller system, but I'm still open to persuasion to another system. This would allow even the PCs to have more of the kind of far-fetched, sky's-the-limit feel that the characters from Torment did, which seems to me to fit the planescape mood much better than set races and classes and such.

Second, I want to play with the setting a little. Toss Faction War before all else (always liked the factions and wondered why they felt the need to get rid of them) and then add a little more technology, primarily in the realm of primitive firearms and magical flying ships that traverse the planes (a la Eberron) to give it a high-adventure swashbuckling feel.

Finally, the story entails the PCs as inmates (justly or injustly imprisoned) on the Mercykiller prison ship Nemausian. The ship gets attacked on its way to Carceri by Githyanki and the protagonists are left with a damaged, plane-sailing ship and they're being hunted by both the triad of law and the githyanki, leading to an episodic series of adventures across the planes.

I know, I may have gone off the deep-end since these are some pretty substantial changes, but I think it might have some potential.

?_? What more do you need to know?

Alright, well. If anyone else read that issue of Dragon Magazine about running tv-series-style episodic campaigns, I intend to try that, with each adventure being a (mostly) self-contained story with a number of over-arching plot threads.

Each adventure should either feature some kind of important plot point that changes the direction of the story and/or focus on one character and either reveal more of their backstory or feature something that has radical impact on that PC.

Because of this, I'd need somewhat lengthy write-ups on each PC with plenty of character secrets to work with, but I think it would pay off in the end.

Hopefully, this campaign will be able to visit most if not all of the Outer Planes and a good number of Inner as well (maybe some Prime too).

Beyond that... I don't know. If you have any questions, go ahead.
