  • Planescape Part One: Sigil by Cutter
    Planescape Part One: Sigil By Cutter Welcome to Sigil, the City of Doors! The centre of the Planes and the local multiverse too. Sitting on the inside of a giant torus that itself floats above an infinitely tall mountain at the centre of the very plane of neutrality itself – the Concordant Domains of the Outlands. Here neutrality is enforced. Gods are barred from the city, and the Lady of Pain takes very aggressive steps to make sure nobody drags Sigil into the troubles outside. It is even a haven from the Blood War. Unfortunately, this means many, many criminals and troublemakers from outside land come here as a last resort. ‘Course, not everyone’s here of their own free choice. Sigil’s ridded in doors to other planes, and sometimes a local from outside falls in. What got them in Sigil rarely is what gets them out of Sigil, and they’re stuck here until they find a door back home. These planar doors all throughout Sigil would make it the most valuable place in the multiverse to hold. Master Sigil, you can master the Planes. But the Lady won’t let that happen. Piss her off and the best thing you can hope for is being locked in an extradimensional maze unable to die of age, hunger, or thirst. The unlucky ones get flayed alive in an instant. But on the bright side, you’ll see all kinds of things in Sigil. A devil and a demon (don’t call ‘em that, trust me) having friendly drinks in a bar.

This particular work is a combination of adventures I’d run for groups in Vaasa and Helsinki. The combined, finished work was playtested in the weeks before release. The first group suffered no casualties but ran like hell, the second group suffered no casualties but cut a deal most unwholesome in order to survive, and the third group lost four out of eight characters before running like hell. I do consider those results a successful playtest and true to the literature and cinema that inspired it. The “Weird Tale” and pulp adventure fantasy are both filled with exotic locations where Great Evil from Antiquity is discovered. Often, some great ancient evil is unwittingly awakened, and at that point there are two choices: Escape or Die! Ancient evil is cruel, and so this adventure is cruel. The key is to make sure the cruelty is fair, and in this case I have attempted to do so by making sure it is the players that must trigger catastrophic events (no ticking clock or “gotcha!” traps), and that there are multiple means of escape once those events are triggered.
