Nothing beats watching a lore deep dive video about Planescape where the narrator mispronounces Sigil the entire time.
#Planescape
Highlights of the last DnD campaign set in Sigil I ran:
- The players get all information from a bunch of psychic rats in a trench coat
- They accidentally teleport a zombie beholder into the Smouldering Corpse bar
- They briefly work in a restaurant kitchen that has a portal to Faunel to source rare meats
- They tame a couple of dogs in an anarchist's house (the dogs are intellect devourers)
- Instead of a final boss fight, they give therapy to a depressed githzerai in Limbo
Quan va sortir el #BaldursGate3 vaig dir que "sí, molt bé, però que no es pot jugar als jocs quan surten", i vaig fer el propòsit de passar-me el #BaldursGate2, del que guardava bon record però feia 20 anys que hi havia jugat.
... El resum és que necessito tenir vacances per posar-m'hi. O el temps lliure que tingués fa 20 anys. Mare meva quin joc més cruel! Girar una cantonada i PAM, un enemic fora de context elimina la meitat del grup d'aventurers; o una trampa desintegra qui ha provat una porta; o el lich de torn es fa invulnerable a tot...
Total que així estic, entrarem al 2026 i encara he de sortir de les coves de la Infrafoscor (capítol 5), tot i que ja em falta poc.
Tampoc és que el joc sigui una proesa narrativa. Poques situacions es solucionen via diàleg. La majoria, després d'un intercanvi de línies de diàleg més aviat seques, es converteixen en un intercanvi de mastegots. Suposo que, al cap i a la fi, aquesta és l'essència de #DnD. Sí que hi ha alguns puzzles i endevinalles per donar varietat (alguns memorables!), però el major puzzle són els combats i les "sorpreses" que prepara cada enemic, en un joc i un sistema en el que això d'equilibrar matemàticament els encontres perquè siguin "justos" no era una prioritat... Tinc molt més bon record del #Planescape: Torment!

More epilogue sketches!
The tabaxi bard returns to her life of barding and her capriloth boyfriend, the dragonborn bard becomes a multiverse-roaming bard with her friends, and the changeling warlock becomes closer to his genasi patron and adviser to the King of the Crossroads herself.

Bariaurs were social beings and very outgoing. They were slow to trust while still giving individuals the benefit of the doubt. A bariaur would do everything in his or her power to help lessen the sadness of a friend

Been a while since I posted anything of substance here, but I wanted to share a couple of fun idea I had with the aether:
In my 5e Forgotten Realms/Planescape homebrew canon, the Raven Queen and Factol Skall (head of Sigil's Mortuary and the Heralds of Dust) are pen pals. The Raven Queen sends her messenger ravens to Skall, and Skall returns them with his messages. They fancy the quaintness of "snail mail".
Also, I imagine Factol Skall's voice to be that of Vincent Price's. He's delightfully aloof, campy, and macabre.

I was in a grumpy mood about video games, so I spent some quality time with a #ttprg, finally reading #Daggerheart and I was quite impressed with it.
Lots of interesting potential and they did a remarkable job of harnessing a great anime/video game vibe/homage in many of the campaign frames. Kinda reminds me of the energy & possibility of early the d20 boom.
Can’t shake the feeling many classic settings would be perfect frames: #Earthdawn #Dragonmech #ArcanaEvolved #DarkSun #Planescape

Astral searchers were creatures from the Astral Plane that mindlessly sought planar weak points where they could invade the Prime Material, and thus possess humanoids. They accomplished this by destroying their victim's psyche, memories and all.

I find the #Planescape 2nd edition AD&D campaign setting to be an incredible undertaking full of wonderful creativity. It received a lot of support and was wildly popular.
Yet, every time I try to read any of it, I give up because of the way the information is presented. Every time I read "berk" or "cutter" or any of the other slang terms they created for it, I lose interest. It's just too much and too silly to me, for whatever reason.
But, the setting is so interesting that I keep trying.
The first panel is cheekily reusing this piece of Sigil I drew a few years back <3 #planescape #pankallisti furaffinity.net/view/47820116/
Два з половиною роки роботи, мільйон перекладених слів… І все ж ледь не перше, що бачить гравець — це головне меню іноземною мовою 🙁
Непорядок? І ми так подумали, тож взялися за локалізацію написів.
Як ми здолали цю головоломку, читайте в статті від самих авторів нового красивого українського меню в Planescape: Torment
https://sbt.localization.com.ua/article/lokalizatsiia-tekstur-u-planescape-torment/
Оновлено патч-українізатор до Planescape: Torment. https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1GdvhuiINSUbeMUb4ke6g9erLyX3PHxir
Ми виправили декілька помилок, ясна річ, а також побороли написи в головному меню, тож тепер там повна краса! 🥰
Про пригоди з написами в меню розповімо трохи згодом.
Помандруйте вимірами захопливого мультивсесвіту класичної рольової гри Planescape: Torment українською мовою.

Eduardo True – Level 17 Cleric of Astilabor
My kobold, released from the planar diffraction that was having him respawn in endless varieties, is a level 17 cleric. He’s wearing an awakened ornament from a time dragon’s hoard, which grants him flight, and an infectious measure of sober fearlessness for his friends.
He’s not actually likely fighting in the skies above(?) Sigil, but it felt like a great backdrop for this scene.
