But it was cool how each plane also had a 'theme' associated with it's alignment - e.g. Carceri wasn't just Neutral (Chaotic) Evil, it was the Prison Plane. In our old game I remember that 'theme' being just as important as the alignment.[MENTION=42582]pemerton[/MENTION]I like what you said about "questions to be settled, not answers to be discovered". Actually I felt in Planescape in particular these two things overlaped quite a bit. The PCs would question something that was left unexplained in the books, and then they'd disagree with each other, then disagree with some NPCs.... then theyd cut off some heads <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ....and then as a group we'd come up with the answer.So, what about planescape struck you as having resolution be predetermined? Was it the AD&D era alignment system?</blockquote>
