I happen to dig a lot of the old 2e Planescape material, so my Planescape 4e is going to look a lot like Planescape 2e. But someone who is new to the game using Sigil for the first time might not, say, bother with the Factions, and that should be totally OK for their own game, and if I'm playing in that game, I have no right to say "But the Doomguard only controls the Armory before the Faction War! And the Sensates don't really believe that! And the Athar would probably be involved here."Fluff-lawyering is the same monster as rules-lawyering and it's equally as useless in running a solid game. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
