    Great to see the passion here. I hope the Planescape setting gets the revitilisation from players and dms that it deserves!

    took me awhile to realize that several of these towns are mirrors of each other, based on plane/alignment, who are also mirrors-
    Torch (Chaotic Neutral Evil) and Tradegate (Neutral Lawful Good)- broken merchant town ruled by personal greed/ rich merchant town ruled by mutual beneficial enlightened self-interest
    Hopeless (Neutral Evil) and Ecstacy (Neutral good)- you go down to gate and get coated in foul magic tar/ you go up to gate and get coated in glowing magic quicksilver
    Rigus (Lawful Neutral Evil) and Glorium (Chaotic Good Neutral)- strictly regulated military camp for impersonal soldiers/ free-spirited brawling town for warriors out for personal glory

      Torch is Gehenna's Gate Town; Curst is Carceri's.

    I was always curious why a planescape setting book didn’t have a focus on the planes, but I see it is because it focuses on the gate towns, and I love that even more! The planes are kind of ineffable and these towns are like toe dip into them which foreshadows it’s plane if the players ever get in

    The gate town of Ecstasy is ruled over by The Day Man, and the Night Man 😂

    You could build your own portals that jumps editions planes and have a whole 100 level campaign. Eventually bringing them back to the edition they like most and that would determine their big bad evil guy and his stat block 😉 real adventures in the multiverse.
    Just something ive been working on for a couple months now and I personally love how it allows you to let your platers choose the edition they loved most and tries out everything.

    I feel like it would be very appropriate to create an Adventure Time-style cartoon based on the Outlands instead of the Land of Ooo

    Outer planes are cool but, what about the inner planes, the ethereal and well known demi-planes?
    Seems like we need another Manual Of The Planes Book.

    It's there hooks in Ribcage to connect it with a Descent Into Avernus module? Would it be somewhere on the "bottom" of the map the players get from Candlekeep (contra-Dis)?

    • @Wyrmshield
      @Wyrmshield Рік тому +4

      I was hoping there would be too, but I don't think DiA mentions the outlands much if at all. There definitely would be a portal to outlands somewhere in Avernus though since all planar travel to or from the nine hells must take place in Avernus by order of Asmodeus

      Making your way in this world today takes everything you've got,
      Getting a break from all your worries sure would help a lot...
      Wouldn't you like to get away...
      Sometimes you want to go
      Where everybody knows your name
      And they're always glad you came
      You want to be where you can see
      Troubles are all the same
      You want to be where everybody knows
      Your name...

    Question. Could a part of a plane cosmically realign into the outlands to make a gate town or would it have to join the closer to neutral plane. Also do we now how many gate towns their have been?

      It still could be. As they've always said "Your table is your universe" if you want to keep it a Tiefling town, just do that, you're allowed.

      One of the other recent videos mentioned that each town has some contrasting element that's kept around to prevent that. Like a really disorganized office in Mechanus.

    Does he mean pl-in-ths, not pl-ine-ths? Is Sigil not the hub of the planes, but the hub of mispronunciations?

    I’m not sure modern players will grasp the concepts of Planescape since they don’t like, or use, Alignment.

    • @davescrams
      @davescrams Рік тому +6

      My sense is that modern players are fine with alignment as a planar concept. The concerns I've heard are focused on feeling constrained by alignment as a proxy for personality.

    • @Hey-Its-Dingo
      @Hey-Its-Dingo Рік тому +6

      People who have never even played D&D are still making alignment memes, so it's FAR from a lost concept to modern players.

      It was created as Sigil (hard g) and published that way in 1994. He isn't mispronouncing it, unlike "plinth."
