idea that belief informs reality, that if enough people believe a thing it is possible to reshape reality. The Outer Planes, the heavens, hells, and various other afterlives, all run on this concept. Gods are fed by the belief of their followers and starve away to nothing without it. The theory goes that a lone mortal whose will was strong enough could do the same thing, but in practice it's all much easier if you get a bunch of folks together who all believe the same thing with you. And it's even easier, they suppose, if that thing is already true. Which is where you get Sigil and its factions, philosophers with clubs, out to bend the multiverse to their will by acting in accordance with what they have decided is the purpose of life.</p><p></p><p>It was a mid-Nineties setting and there's definitely an air of punk!punk about it. Hacking reality, as it were. And the default role of PCs is as troubleshooters running jobs between rival factions and armies.</p></blockquote><p></p>
[QUOTE="Unsung, post: 6526631, member: 6781406"] Alright, so I think I fixed the formatting issues with the first post.

The Outer Planes, the heavens, hells, and various other afterlives, all run on this concept. Gods are fed by the belief of their followers and starve away to nothing without it. The theory goes that a lone mortal whose will was strong enough could do the same thing, but in practice it's all much easier if you get a bunch of folks together who all believe the same thing with you. And it's even easier, they suppose, if that thing is already true. Which is where you get Sigil and its factions, philosophers with clubs, out to bend the multiverse to their will by acting in accordance with what they have decided is the purpose of life. It was a mid-Nineties setting and there's definitely an air of punk!punk about it. Hacking reality, as it were. And the default role of PCs is as troubleshooters running jobs between rival factions and armies. [/QUOTE]
