[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 7528813, member: 20323"] Well, Sigil the City of Doors & the Lady of Pain are both mentioned in the DMG; they're definitely no longer just "Planescape IP." There's further insight into their thinking on page 4 of the D&D IP Guide: [SECTION][B]Multiple Planes of Existence[/B] While Faerûn is where most of the action should take place in a D&D RPG, the world exists as one within multiple planes. These planes classically form a cosmology known as The Great Wheel. See the Dungeon Master’s Guide for more information on the Great Wheel. The most important concept to remember is that even if the players never visit another plane, the fact that multiple planes exist is knowledge that many adventurers and sages share. Common folk might not commonly know or think about the planes but their influence may be felt over the course of a D&D adventure. Elementals from the elemental planes, for example, demons originate from the Abyss, and devils from the Nine Hells.[/SECTION] This says that, for the time being, they want to keep the focus on Faerûn. Which makes that sentence about Sigil ("characters should not be traveling there") redundant. The only reason I can think for them calling out Sigil specifically as a place to avoid is that they have plans to release a product dealing with Sigil. [/QUOTE]
