Open Recruiting: Planescape Mega Campaign

In the Planes, everything and I mean everything happens in threes. There's even a rule about it- the Rule of Threes. So is it any wonder that when there's trouble in the multiverse- true multiversal trouble it comes in threes as well?

First there's some mysterious Doors opening in Sigil- Four of them to be precise and an even more mysterious threat behind them.

Then there's a strange infection spreading throughout the multiverse- connected somehow to a little known method of planar travel known as the Infinite Staircase.

Finally, on Mechanism something strange has happened - the Great Modron March has started! That on its own isn't anything too unusual, but it's started five hundred years early, which for the ultra lawful Modrons can only spell some kind of trouble.

What exactly is this campaign: this will be a massive planescape campaign adapting as many as possible of the published modules to 5th Edition, built around the three large modules.How Will this work? the initial kick off will be a scenario where all players are present in the vicinity of the Shattered Temple at the same time. From there, groups will filter off into investigating different leads that will take them down different paths dealing with the three core modules and other mysteries and adventures throughout the planes.

Who Can Join? Anyone- and I mean anyone. I might end up capping the group at some high number, but 18 players fits very easily into the framework and I could accommodate more if there were interest.

But wait, does that mean if I join I won't be doing (said module)? yes, that does mean that whole some players are investigating the Great Modron March, others will be walking the Infinite Staircase, etc. Not everyone will do every adventure, I promise all the paths will be epic and rewarding.

So when will this start? I still have some infrastructure to build, but we can start character creation now- I will aim to start next weekend depending on if a quarum of players are joined and complete with their characters.So when you are ready to join, come here and start making your characters.

I don't really know anything about planescape except a quick Google search, but if you end up running it in 5e I would be interested.

I love Planescape and would be interested in 5e or 2e. Not Pathfinder, that system and I don't get along.

I love the planescape setting. Especially traveling around the planes, adventuring in Sigle and the philosophy debate among the factions (sometimes the debates take place with an axe)

I'm for 5e or PF2e. I'm not a fan of PF1e but for a good planescape game I would make an exception

I was literally talking to some people here a day or two ago about running one, so I'm glad you've pitched a game!

I would love planescape. I played it in 2e and still have a few boxed sets.

I'd play Either 5e or 2e (my 2e will be rusty, it has been many years ago)
I never played PF though

Would def be onboard for that! 5e or 2e!

I'd be interested since Torment has given me some intrigue to the setting

Well @Alordis what are your thoughts? There seems to be plenty of interest, and who doesn't like the bladepunk stile of Tony DiTerlizzi

So I am definitely running a game- looks like 5th edition is the winner, but it will take me a bit to get the details together for creation and such.

I will be running a combination path of the published adventures- a project I've started a few times and gotten to various spots in but will try to get further on this time.

And yes I'll mercilessly pull he diterlizi stuff into posts haha

Well you have your first applicant for the game. I want to do some artificer/bladesinger characters, but other than that I will await the story pitch so I can make a character that would fit in and strengthen the adventure.

EDIT: I will definitely play an active faction member and those are one of the unique features from the setting that I like the most.

Second! It'll be nice to play a game where it makes thematic sense to have such an eclectic group.

Yup! Def would love an invite when your ready!

Count me in please.

Would love to join! Back in ye olde days I played Planescape; Torment and absolutely loved it. Planescape is such a deviation from the generally lighthearted D&D fantasy settings. Such memorable characters too! Morte the floating skull, Annah of the Shadows, Ignus the ever-burning pyromaniac and of course the protagonist who is such a mystery. It really broke the mold. Teenage me really had to come to grips with playing a character like that. So picture me interested!

Oh, and 5E is my favorite D&D system so far, so happy to play in that.

I would certainly like to join as well for 5e.

I did DM so much Planescape / Forgotton Realms combo in the old days. I'd really like to play now.
I don't really have a character idea yet, but I am happy to fill up whatever the group needs.

I'd love to play in a Planescape game. I don't care what edition, but I'll check 2nd purely because the magic rules already work as written for 2nd, including spell keys and reduced castings and the like.

But I'd be just as happy with 5e or pathfinder (think PF2 could even work?)

I own all the boxed sets. I have almost all of the softback books (still missing like three of them). I've even written some Planescape campaign conversions for 5e.

I would be up for 5e planescape if you have room for me. My other 5e game fell through

Well my intention will be to take as many as possible- still working details on how to do that.

And yes, I am having to update the magic rules- not sure how to square that circle for sure.

And it would definitely never be pf2 for me- I bought literally hundreds of pf1 books so while I know there's people who enjoy it, it felt like a slap in my face that I was just not going along with.
