Question: Sigil and planescape

Post by T'Holoth Shadowborn »

I just picked up and started reading a book. Torment. I guess it's from a popular video game. It mentions a lot of stuff I see in copap like the grey wastes, blood war, sigil the city of doors, outlands.

Awesome stuff. The terminology is a little weird to pick up at first (cutter, berk, barmy, tall stepping it, give this place the laugh- kinda reminds me of slang fromt he UK heh) but im really enjoying it.

Where can I find some reading material about this stuff?

Sigil is basically a city thats connected to all other cities right? I like the varity of races and worlds you can find there. I really think Copap is going to make some leaps and bounds when we start getting more 'outter planes' connected and people can travel more.

Track down a copy of the Planescape campaign setting, and read it cover to cover.
Barring that, track down a copy of the game, Planescape: Torment, and play it through.
It's dozens of times longer, better, more informative, complex, ect. than the book, which is a pretty crummy adaptation.

Here's a *real* novelization of the game. All the dialogue is taken from the game itself. http://www.wischik.com/lu/senses/pst-book.html

Sheesh, Berk. Clueless to the core, ain't ya? Rattle yer bone box a bit more, and we'll all know yer barmey.

I think once Outlands gets more mainland developed, Teleri has plans for Sigil. That's a ways off though, and a pretty ambitious project.

right now sigil is still waiting for the release of its tileset from CODI (or so), who knows then.

I got most of the Players Handbook in PDF format if your interested in it. If I dig enough I have the Planescape Box set and the Blood War box set, and could scan in info as needed . Let me know.
