Sigil NPC list, Venues list and Map downloads

[Echohawk]

Ambrus, great index and update .

I notice that the handful of Planescape Polyhedron articles aren't yet included. Is that because there were no NPCs in those articles, or because they are still on your list of things to check?

Also, did you track down a copy of the Planescape Conspectus? It is mentioned as a source on the Planewalker bibliography, but there don't seem to be any NPCs listed as coming from that source.

I haven't yet indexed the Polyhedron articles because I've been having trouble identifying which issues have Planescape material in them. I haven't been able to find any comprehensive index or list of all polyhedron articles. If anyone can tell me the issue numbers so I know which to download or search for, or better yet, check the articles and get back to me with their content then I'd be more than happy to add them to the index.

I did indeed find a Planescape Conspectus to check, and there was one NPC mentioned therein: an iconic tout named Etain the Quick. He wasn't new to me however since he's also the narrator of several sections of In The Cage.

Just ordered a copy of Torment the novel from Amazon to index. Lord help me.

Venues download is not working for me. The other two are.

Define "not working".

In what way not working? Is there an error coming up - is it giving you the wrong data - what are your search terms - got *anything* to help me recreate the "not working" state so I can fix it?

Hi Clueless. I am also having difficulty getting to the Sigil Venue file.

Here is the error message I get:

"Error 404

/downloads/npclist/files/Sigil%20Venues2.xls is not available.

It is possible you are following a link to a previous version of this site. You way be able to find what you're looking for at Planewalker.

If you are following a 'dead' link please inform the owner of the referring page that they need to update the link.

Thank you, Planewalker.com"


Anything you could do to help would be appreciated. I've been looking for something like this for a long, long time... *salivating heavily*

Hm. The Venues excel document seems to be missing from the file page; which would explain the "is not available" message. It's a simple issue to fix. I'll simply upload and link a new document to the site this evening when I get home from work and hopefully all will be back to normal. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks, Ambrus... and I'd like to add my congratulations on a job well done. The Sigil map is beautiful, and the NPC list invaluable to an old diehard PS DM.

Brings a little tear to the eye, it does... *wiping it away*

And on a barely related note: I've been following the news of the 4.0 release warily, but the one thing that struck me was a comment by Wizards that they would no no longer be supporting Greyhawk as the default core rules setting. Seems they want to continue to use the core/Greyhawk deities, but they also want to use real world religions and mythology such as Greek, Egyptian and Scandinavian. Hmmm... didn't they have all that in PS? Hell, they had EVERY re;igion and mythology represented. Can't get much more inclusive than that, can you? *smacking my head repeatedly against my desk*

*sigh* Ok, I'm done.

The link for the Venues list has been fixed. It, along with the Venues database, have been updated with my latest compiled data. That brings the number of entries on the list up to 290. Unfortunately, the map is outdated and so doesn't include these latest additions. That'll require a bit more work on my part.

Thanks, Ambrus... and I'd like to add my congratulations on a job well done. The Sigil map is beautiful, and the NPC list invaluable to an old diehard PS DM.

Thanks for the kind words. It's a labor of love for me, but knowing that others appreciate it is what makes it worth the effort to keep going.

*pats shoulder* There there...


Edit: I'm just putting this list of polyhedron issues with supposed Planescape material here for my own use:
Issue #100: The Analects of Sigil
Issue #127: The Day of Grace
Issue #135?
Issue #137: Sigil and the Sea
I just ordered issue 137 from Paizo, but the others don't seem to be available... :\

Thanks for getting that cleared up so fast Ambrus (Otherwise I was gonna hit my backups ). And yeah - with regards to errors you run across the site - just let me know about them and I'llg et to them as quickly as I can, which is generally even faster if you give me the error message you ran into or an idea what's going on.

Heck, I'm curious to see how your download rate is compared to the God's List at this point... hmm *goes and checks the logs* *grin*
