Planescape/Sigil question

[Ashy]

They were not the best books in the world but they had some good parts. Worth a single read, if for no other reason than to see what all the hubub is about.

ForceUser and I tried many times to have a Planescape game going. While the two of us loved the setting we just couldn't get others into it.

They that bad?

They're pretty bad if you want them to stick to even some of the more marginal rules of Planescape, which is important to me.

Mr. Worth!! Yay!!

While my only exposure to Planescape has been the excellent CRPG Planescape: Torment, I've always thought running a PS game would be fun. In particular, it'd be simple to justify a crazy party made up of a half-dozen +ECL PCs, which would look out-of-place in any standard campaign setting.

You've neatly covered exactly what I'm currently running.

The group are all members of the "Nameless Legion", which was recently detailed in Dragon Magazine (the merc issue, I don't recall the number).

The current group is a Lizardman Fighter, a Tiefling Rogue, a Half-Celestial Rogue (the "face"), a Half-Dragon Sorcerer, and our most normal member, the Half-Orc Barbarian/Cleric.

We've also had a Werewolf Fighter (Natural Lycanthrope) and a Half-Dragon monk pass through the party... before their untimely demises.

Using the Planescape sites scattered around the web and a healthy dose of the Manual of the Planes, we've had a great time romping around the planes... and they're just getting started (average party level is 6). Their favorite spot to vacation between missions is definitely the Cage.

I love the Planes.

My group is almost totally the other way around. We've been playing a planescape game for 3 years now and we've only got one ecl pc. A assimar (ecl +1) with wings( another +1) with a Half-elf Druid, Elf Bard/Cleric of Sun, and a Elf Dragon Disciple. So there are more options in planescape for races but they don't always go for the ecls.

I gotcha beat. My last PS campaign's party, The Seekers, consisted of the following:

Sagan - half githzerai/half modron wizard (can you say confused?) who had an ooze mephit follower named Bloorp
Feldspar - magma genasi priest of Oghma/Guvner
Romulous Maelstrom - a firbolg paladin of Annam - sworn protector of Sagan whose bonded mount was a sap dragon named Ningil (often took the form of an amber-haired elf)
Galas Hrothwine - a korred Sensate ranger who was the adopted child of an ancient blue dragon (LLLOOOOONNNGGG STORY) and brother to a tribe of myconids.
Mysthenia Gravis - a doppleganger rogue
Ce'zat - an arcane (now called mercane) wizard/cleric
Teal'c - a tiefling rogue who wound up being the son of Mask, wound up with a follower named "Cimmy", who was a Cimmerian.
Leonidas - a prime half-elf ranger who was oddly enough, the leader of the party
Mordrin - a prime human mage who was (unknown to him for most of the campaign) a prophet (new class that I created), had a homonculus named Cabbot.

Oh, those were the days..... I love PS too....
