And your opinion is always valid - that's 90% of what we discuss is opinions and understanding each others' points of view. IIRC, the cant was a medley of Cockney Rhyming Slang and terms used by historical thieves (maybe Victorian era? can't remember).It's fun reading David Zeb Cook's interview (he was the principal designer behind Planescape) that I shared just a few posts up because he calls out the goth-punk stuff specifically when asked about Planescape material that came out after the box set: "Most of it I liked, although I sometimes think things went too much the goth-gloom route for my taste. Of course I really liked the unplayable surreal ideas, which is maybe not so good for a game."If the writers manage to capture that philosophical surreal weirdness in the adventure/locations in a way that's more game-able than a lot of the original PS material, that will be a huge accomplishment. It's hard to do, IME, but has big payoff at the table when it clicks.</blockquote>
