I went several years without without a gaming group until until I became aware of Roll20. Roll20. I have been a player player in one campaign campaign on Roll20 but I would like to return to being a DM as I was used to doing when I was younger. This will be my first DMing experience on the Roll20 platform.
Campaign Setting campaign setting was was always a favorite favorite for me me PLANESCAPE. The Planescape campaign growing up and I have plans to run many campaigns through this wonderful setting. Without actual 5th edition edition material published published by Wizards of the Coast Coast there has to be a bit of home brewing involved involved to make this work. If you would like to familiarize yourself with the campaign setting I would direct you to the link below. I will also allow allow most of the the optional rules/classes/race rules/classes/races/backgrounds s/backgrounds.. Due to the odd nature of Planescape I encourage players to create characters with lots of personality and and role-playing flair. flair. For this reason, reason, I will consider consider any additional additional homebrew classes/races/rules classes/races/rules if you want to bring them to my attention.

Campaign Flavor I HAVE CHOSEN PLANESCAPE BECAUSE IT HAS A STRONG ROLE-PLAYING SIDE TO IT. I like combat combat just as much as any any other tabletop tabletop player. However, what sets Dungeons and Dragons apart apart from simply simply rolling dice is roleplaying. roleplaying. I encourage and reward role-playing role-playing in my games. I expect players to at least attempt attempt to talk in character and avoid meta-gaming. meta-gaming. I am working on systems systems to reward excellent excellent roleplaying as well.

Sigil, City of Doors SIGIL IS LOCATED ATOP THE SPIRE IN THE shape of a torus with with the OUTLANDS. It has the shape city itself located on the inner surface of the ring. There is no sky, simply an all-pervasive light that waxes and wanes to create day and night. Sigil cannot be entered or exited save via portals; although this makes it quite safe from any would be invader, it also also makes it a prison prison of sorts sorts for those not possessing a portal key. Thus, sometimes Sigil is called called "The Cage." Though Sigil Sigil is pseudo-geographically pseudo-geographically located "at "at the center of the the planes" (where it is positioned positioned atop the infinitely infinitely tall Spire), scholars argue that this is impossible since the planes are infinite in all dimensions, and therefore there can never truly be a center to any or all of them; thus, Sigil is of no special importance. Curiously, from the Outlands one can see Sigil atop the supposedly "infinite" Spire.
