That may admittedly just be the 5e Planescape writers choosing not to mess with Farrow's backstory - in case anyone is unaware, Farrow and their alter egos are originally from the 2e Faces of Sigil book, so while hardly one (or fifteen) of the more iconic characters in the setting, they aren't a...

The Mortuary supplement on Beyond uses DMG-style Supernatural Gifts to represent the Dustmen Heralds of Dust "Dead Truce" ability. Also has a separate sidebar detailing the Faction's taboo against resurrection. I imagine many of the classic Faction abilities and restrictions could be handled...

If I recall, the Infinite Staircase traditionally connects to places of artistic expression. It's mostly an FR thing (a lot of ties to the goddess Selune), but there's no reason it couldn't connect to Oerth as well.

I'm sure there are multiple settlements of various scales - it's an infinite planar causeway akin to the World Tree, so there are certain to be outposts all over. Just thinking that the Planewalker's Guild would make a decent hub location to center everything around.

Well, the Infinite Staircase is canonically where the Planewalker's Guild set up shop after they left Sigil, so it wouldn't be too hard to scale up a "guildhall" to a modest community built around the guild and services supporting it.

There was a 2e Planescape "Tales from the Infinite Staircase" book that was a (loosely-tied together) collection of short adventures, so something along those lines wouldn't surprise me.

With the caveat that the only source I have is a Facebook post in a Planescape group, another GameholeCon goer claims that they hinted at books based around the Rod of Seven Parts and the Infinite Staircase for 2024.

Does it? It's admittedly been a while, but last I checked, the only Planewalker site still online was a cache backup from when their server crashed back around 2014. There was some effort to reviving/renovating the site for a while afterward, but even that version seems to be gone these days...

Eh, there are a fair few adventure seeds in the old Planescape material that touch on IRL mythology to varying degrees (at least insofar as it's been historically portrayed within D&D). Track down a misplaced petitioner who accidentally wandered into Sigil on behalf of a servant of the Judge of...

The cover of Sigil and the Outlands (and of the slipcase as a whole) is essentially the same color scheme as the cover of the original Planescape Campaign Setting boxset.

Honestly, even as someone who does have a lot of attachment to the the 2e version of Planescape (as well as Planewalker's fan-made, post-Faction War version from the 3e-era, possibly to an even greater extent), I think the 5e Planescape is really good for what it set out to do, especially given...

Yes. It mentions that the Tower Sorcerous disappeared without warning one day long ago, taking the bulk of the Incantifers along with it and functionally dissolving them as a formal Faction, as it did in 2e era lore. General assumption was that it and everyone inside it had been sent to a Maze...

If it is, neither she nor the Incantifers are commenting on it.

Isn't specified in the book. That said, there was an old (sadly lost) RPGA Planescape module called Cutters written by Chris Perkins back in the day that supposedly centered around the Tower Sorcerous suddenly reappearing one day and the Incantifers trying to make a comeback, so my guess is...

Hadn't heard anything about it, but what do you know - hope they didn't lose anything from the old version of the site.

I see no indication that the Institute for Intellectual Excellence (the aforementioned university, run by a modron septon and located in the Market Ward) has any relation whatsoever to the Brothel for Slaking Intellectual Lusts (Fall-From-Grace's establishment from Torment, located in the...

I imagine the proverbial "edition wrap-up" doldrums with regards to the '24 rules update might also be coming into play - regardless of one's position on whether it's a new edition or not, should be or not, etc., I suspect a decent subset of people more or less checked out once they heard "New...

8-9 thousand, give or take - copied the raw text into a word doc to generate an estimate, but not sure how accurate that is at parsing tables and statblocks...
