[QUOTE="Tharivious_Meliamne, post: 2565285"] It's a bit unrefined, which could be advantageous really, but it also has the baggage of being seen as "Sigil Lite", sort of like the diet cola of planar metropoli (or at least that's the general opinion I've seen on the Planes boards in the D&D section from many Planescape loyalists). It would likely take a bit of work to get Union working as a setting, but I see two side-effects of the same sort with it: [list][*]As an Epic setting (the Union Sentinels, law enforcers in Union are all 22nd level - as recruits, with 21st level being a requirement to even acheive entry into the group), lower level characters from other settings would likely feel dwarfed or unable to affect their surroundings. [*]On the other hand, the truly Epic characters (speaking of roughly 30th-40th in D&D terms, the cap of where Epic rules tend to break down in my experience) may feel less out of place and see less need to downplay themselves (for the few that actually do downplay themselves).[/list] Aside from those two effects, I don't have much of an opinion. Union would cater to one grouping of characters, while likely detering another group entirely. As has been said though, it's unlikely that a setting can be found that will please everyone in a quick and simple manner. [/QUOTE]
