A planar game? Absolutely yes you can do it. A version of Sigil? Sure. A Planescape game? I'm not sure that there's enough in common between Great Wheel-based Planescape and the 4e cosmology. I find there to be too many differences both in content and design aesthetic to do it without it feeling... off... But at the same time that's only my personal opinion, and if you can make it work for you, more power to you. It's not my place to say what works for you and your games.Edit: Apologies for the thread derail here. I won't continue on this line within the thread itself.</blockquote>
