[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8353111, member: 18"] That's extremely worrying, given Faction War was complete trash to the point where Monte Cook has tried to excuse it more than once. He swears blind he was going to fix the trashfire it caused with the next adventure, but wasn't able to because they (I forget if they was WotC by then) didn't want to publish another one at that point. They'd better have retcon'd in the Factions coming back to Sigil, and not going with the absolutely disgraceful setup they had in 4E Sigil (mentioned in the DMG2, in some detail), which has Sigil being run by incredibly boring, no-philosphy, no-attitude, no-style, zero cool three-letter-acronym agencies, like some sort of small, forgettable flyover-state city in the US in the 1970s or something. A diverse and wonderful thing replaced by the most boring possible kind of technocracy. Honestly if they keep that, WotC won't see a penny from me until the next edition. Hell I might quit D&D for the entire time the current management team were in charge (possibly permanently) if they re-vandalized Sigil that badly, after specifically saying they weren't bound by trash from previous editions.
