[QUOTE="Kobold Avenger, post: 6329678, member: 779"] Re-establishing the iconic baseline of setting of Sigil again. Even though I'm fine with a post-faction war setting, they should probably move back or forward in the timeline to where it was before Faction War, and then discuss possible things that could have happened, much like how they handled Dark Sun in 4e. The focus should primarily be on Sigil. Backgrounds shouldn't be factions or sects as I think those should be covered in another optional mechanic, but rather backgrounds in PS should be things like Hiver (slightly modified criminal background perhaps), Prime Material Refugee, Gatehouse Barmy, Sheltered Upper Planar, and others that have flavour related to Sigil. Ideas like how to use for example a possible DMG module on stronghold building, into something about "owning" a strange property in Sigil. Detail about the many locations and personalities around Sigil, but not too detailed that everything is mapped out. There should always be room to dump something in, like perhaps you want a part of Sigil that's like Venice and should come as no problem for a DM to put that in. Beyond that a bit of a tour of the more unusual places around the planes. There needs to needs to be a bunch of interesting ideas and hooks to mine for campaigns. Some of the old concepts introduced back in 2e given a new light like: Neth the Demiplane That Lives, and the implications of having a (star?) Warlock pact to it, or the implications of those Celestials as arms dealers fueling the misery that is the Blood War. And then throw in a bunch of newer ideas too, such as ones involving those planes that weren't even mentioned back in 2e that are now part of the cosmology. [/QUOTE]
