Chaos Apostate
First Post
Well, this being my first post and all I suppose I should really start at the beginning, so... errr... hi everyone, 
I'm Chaos Apostate, known on some other boards as CeramicAtheist.
Anyway... This post is, essentially, an attempt to round up any and all Planescape fans on the board. I know the setting is extinct, but I also know that everwhere I go I can usually find it surviving through its fanbase. Hence, I'm hoping that I can find some fans hanging around here who would be interested in starting a game. For myself, I would be more interested in playing in a game than DMing one. Therefore i am really looking for three other players, and a DM. If a DM can be found, then I will hand over all control and spokesmanship for the thread to him/her.
In terms of style, I was thinking of something fairly character based, with a nice strong plot, and just a little bit of occasional combat to keep things interesting. I was thinking of using the 3.5 rules - I know there hasn't been a full 3.5 Planescape conversion, but for the most part I don't thikn that's necessary or important. In terms of the factions, for instance, I never particularly liked the special rules for each faction. I would much rather they stayed simply as a philosophy, an ideal, and a guild rather than as the semi-mystical strangeness that TSR seemed to be trying to make them through granting them all special abilities. I see where they were coming from - power of belief and all that - but I don't think it was handled as well as it could have been.
But I digress - the point is that I believe Planescape could very easily be adapted to 3.5 - indeed, I don't think it even needs adapting. Most of the 2e specific rules were unnecessary in my opinion.
So, is there any interest for this sort of thing? Anyone else share my unhealthy obsession with Planescape?
