Planescape is connected to all the worlds there are.

Its a "nexus" a place between worlds. It is CLOSELY connected with the FR though, and there's a lot of traffic between them.

Yeah... and it's where all the gods live, right?


See - this is why D&D is so cool. I don't play pen and paper, but I love reading the books just 'cause it's an amazing world that's been created for it.

[Jamski]

Kind of, Oswald...

Its more that "Gods" and "Demons" are just another kind of creature when you get outside a material world such as ours, or the FR world.

Dude we were meant for each other.

[Nostromo]

Yes, they are connected. In a way, the Forgotten Realms are a subset of the Planescape settting. That said, Planescape: torment and BG2 had very different settings. The action in Planescape: Torment took place, for the most part, in a city called Sigil. It was way cooler than BG2. For one, it was 100% elf free. Unfortunately, it didn't sell very well.

Plus, the plot was perfect for a prequel.

[Jamski]

The plot contains its own prequel.

I think the setting would be great for another game - but nothing to do with TNO - no sequel or prequel.

They used to call it the Astral Plane.

No, they live on their own planes.

Like a 747 or something?

I assumed planescape encompassed the entire planar worlds and not just the 'nexus' plane, that I forget the name of.

[Jamski]

Sigil.

Planescape is the whole set of the planes - but the PS:T game is mostly set in Sigil.

Oh, okay. So Sigil was called the Astral Plane.

[Jamski]

Nono... Sigil is seperate. Its like a bubble floating on the planes. In 2nd edition D&D the Astral Plane still exists, its kind of a projection of the material world into another dimension (Far too much time reading sourcebooks as a teenager)

What was a REALLY cool 1st Edtion sourcebook was "Hollow Earth" Wow!
