I searched Sigil, I see uploaded 8h ago, I see uploaded by a channel with less than 10k subs… I get sad thinking it’s not high quality video… then I see 2h long and in the first 20 seconds nice editing… i like the video, sub and share then continue watching. Thank you
Thanks for this amazing work, Wade. I just discovered that you have a Patreon page! I can't believe I never realized that! I joined and would like to say thanks by upgrading. Do you think you could make it an annual thing? I don't know how it works, but if I have to join a paid tier for the first time, it would definitely do it for you. 😊
Thanks for joining my Patreon! Unfortunately I am not eligible to enable annual billing. I just looked it up and apparently one of the eligibility requirements is to have earned at least $200/month on Patreon for the past 3 months, which I definitely do not have. I will enable annual billing as soon as I'm eligible though!
Good to see a video like this. I'm tired of seeing videos titled stuff like "Everything you need to know about Sigil: A Guide for Experts" and then it's like 11 minutes long.
I now watch Guide to the Abyss regularly as a sleep aid, after already watching it once normally. I love these long, chill, fascinating dives into the world of Planescape.
Hell yes, I've been absorbing all things Planescape (including your other videos) in preparation for taking my players there next session. Your timing is perfect.
Dude im am so incredibly glad i found you when i did. These sort of topics of the worlds of dnd have always interested me and i just love falling asleep to your videos (not a bad thing i swear) ive even found myself playing one of your vids to listen to as i fall asleep and next thing you know its 3 hours later and im still awake listening intently 😂. Your delivery and thorough research is so rare to find, especially with how small of a channel you are. Youll start growing in no time if you keep this level of thought and purpose into your videos. Plus its so easy to tell you just love talking about this kind of stuff. Im the same exact way, to the point where i get too detailed for some of my friends and they just stare at me blankly 😂. Keep up the awesom work dude, ill be here for the ride to 1 mil!
I imagine Sigil as a closed torus. So that you can't just jump out of the cage. So I imagine that Sigil exists infinitely often. It makes little sense to jump into an infinitely large multiverse where humans and other humanoid creatures are the most common species in the multiverse. Infinity is the greatest and most absolute equalizer. So I figure, if you're a humanoid, you're more likely to end up in the humanoid sigil. If you're a dragon, you're more likely to end up in the dragon sigil, and so on. In dragon sigil (as an example), the factol... are dragons. All these sigils exist simultaneously in the same place, at the same time, and have some kind of bizarre interaction with each other. Perhaps, as the Sign of One claims, each visitor creates their own version of the sigil. On Baator and Abyss. Personally, I don't like it so much that only these two planes get so much love and attention, especially in 5e. But it makes sense for a very combat-based system where you embody the most heroic character. The paradisiacal, well-meaning planes offer rather little drama, action and all that of a ‘good’ heroic story. Although I would partly disagree. While watching this video about Sigil, I also noticed that Fiend and Tiefling are mentioned most often. While Celestia and Aasimar hardly exist. Which is kind of strange for a city of neutrality. On the other hand, why would Celestia want to leave her paradise? Climbing Mount Celestia could be an interesting campaign for a more role-playing and survival-oriented game system. The Lady of Pain also seems pretty evil, even though she is supposed to be the embodiment of neutrality. Just her name, ‘Lady of Pain’. Sometimes I think that Planescape is so big and diverse that the DnD system is too small to embody all the wonders and oddities this system represents. Another good video. Keep up the good work. In my opinion, yours is the best video about Planescape on the internet.
Nice Wade. Another brilliant job. Having run a Planescape campaign since '95 ( which is still going...) while I was initially hesitant to use Sigil as anything more than a quick stopover point, I did grow to love it, and use it more. I think the initial fear was just due to the common DM fears regarding urban adventure, but of course, Sigil is on a much greater scale in every way. I'd say my major inspiration for making use of Sigil was the novel "Pages of Pain" by Troy Denning. Definitely needs credit.
Ah yeah, I thought about using that novel as source material in this video but decided not to because I don't think it's considered canon (and because I haven't read it and then I'd have to and I already read enough things for one video).
@@WadeAllen001 Hey. Oh understood completely. For yourself though, I would recommend you read it, at the very least for personal pleasure. Having read it, at that point it really gave me a great sense of mood for the city, that I hadn't quite grasped from the rulebooks. Much like DiTerlizzi's art set the aesthetic style for Planespace writ large, for me at least, Denning's book really crystalized in my mind the mood for Sigil. Somehwat of a Baroque gritty feel...
I read about half of the book till my ebook reader broke. It was hard to grasp as a non native speaker. But it definitely had quite an atmosphere. It delved too quickly into a maze, though!
One idea I have is coming up with a character and build who personally experiences these places With canonical knowledge you could easily extrapolate to writing short stories of this person going to or learning of these places. As well as making those videos superbly long 👀😍
YESSSSS this is satisfactorily long
Giggity
To continue the implication
Always to a degree
My fave videos to binge last between 1 hour and 12. Wonderful series excluded.
Agreed!!!!! Gj with the videos
Babe, wake up, A new Wade Allen D&D video just dropped.
😂 hilarious
Immediately liked and shared with my players. Before I even looked at it.
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Time for another banger! Thank you for introducing me to planescape lore it’s been super interesting

Literally starting a Planescape campaign this weekend. Thanks for the drop!
That's awesome!
My Planescape campaign just got a MASSIVE upgrade. Thank you!!! I love planescape and Sigil and I want to talk about my campaign ideas forever!!!
I don't often see Mechanus discussed in much depth so a video about it would be great. Same for Carceri, Acheron, Gehenna, and Limbo.
Nice, another one! Your narration and pacing is among the best of "lore" content. Good stuff man.
Oh hell yea this is perfect!! I needed a new video to listen to while working AND I’ve been wanting to learn more about Sigil ❤❤❤
Doing the Lady’s work, thank you for these videos!
Got into Planescape last year and have been starved for content!

Yes, I would like a 2 hour video about Sigil. What a coincidence!
bro dropped a movie. i didnt watch it yet, but i hope to hear tons of philisophy and a lot of updating your journal
51:26
I'm assuming the Lady "told" them this through her Dabus?
Yes
❤❤❤❤ love your videos more more lol love the long form lore
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO THE NO. 1 PLANES SERIES KEEPS COMIN

Sigil is actually pronounced with the same Schrodinger's "g" sound as in "gif."
Your videos really make one feel like they've been there.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WADE ALLEN TIME
My player left Sigil last session but I'm still going to watch this for science or just personal interest.
Gotta love when that fresh Wade pops up. I appreciate these videos and the time you put into making them!
Thanks for this. Best video on Sigil!
Been loving your videos. Keep up the good work.
I always thought of it as the inside of the tire. But I started in 4e so I guess that makes sense.
Good stuff as always. Thanks.
YES another video!

Something tells me there's not even a million people on earth interested in Planescape, but I appreciate your confidence in me!
Never clicked on a video so fast! Well made, well researched and entertaining to boot. Well done once again Wade!
Thanks!

The only way to DM.
you could group planes that dont have that much content. like gehena, hades and carceri, or pandemonium, limbo and ysgard.

@@suy21 Indeed, the maze theme was strong.

With canonical knowledge you could easily extrapolate to writing short stories of this person going to or learning of these places.
As well as making those videos superbly long 👀😍
Sigil not Sigil
It is Sigil with the soft g. I mean they changed Caina to Cania for apparent reason.
Despite the evidence, I knew I'd get at least one.
