The great thing about the Planes is that they're infinite - anything and everything is possible, so there's not much that's "wrong". Everything's "right".. somewhere

actually not quite "planes" but last time i DMd Q1, there was some great fun when the party were running round Lolth's web. someone looked over the side and could dimly see the web below, so the magic-user tried to cast "fly" to get down to it and have a look.  needless to say his spell failed so couldnt do that, so the dimbo thief felt he was agile enough to jump it (doh)



so he jumped. it was a fair way...i gave him 10% chance of reaching it and you know what he rolled it, but then falling damage and then he ran into a party of wandering monsters (ogres if i recall)...and oh did he run. they pretty much spent the rest of the day trying to get together again which was quite funny.



the upshot of the whole thing was this. i played it up real well - the poor lad who was playing the thief was actually sweating when it was over. i also told him that the experience terrified him so bad that he developed vertigo and would have trouble now with heights and climbling too.....



thats what he got for being a dumbass

Lolth's Web is a Realm in the Abyss, so that was Planeswalking for sure

doh well yeha i know NOW...but back then, planescape wasnt about, so it was just the abyss and i aint read into planescape THAT much....

I am running my second Planescape campaign right now. As a group we mutually decided to give a new twist to this particular set of adventures (my players have taken up characters that don't match their usual game style, and I'm WRITING DOWN the adventures to avoid "gamegaps"), so the whole thing is turning out as a pretty good experiment.
The PCs are:
- A thief/psionicist tiefling whose fingertips exude a multicolored fluid (used to draw nonpermanent tattoos and pictures); the player running this character is a good roleplayer but has always had a hard time with rules and game mechanics, so he decided to take up the "difficult" classes (not only he's never played a 2nd edition psionicist... he's never actually played ad&d   );
- A wild mage rogue modron (I know I had to break the rules on this, but I loved the idea of the "walking cube with a spark of chaos inside"); the one that's running the modron is a very methodic guy (to the point of being fiendishly efficient), but somehow he has to learn that he is not required to bluff/intimidate/blackmail EVERY npc he meets to succeed, so I had him take a Lawful character;
- An amnesiac human cleric (sounds like Torment, huh?) that has just been released from his personal Maze with a body that is not his own; he's actually a dragon servant of Chronepsis, mazed while he was chasing a fellow dragon that had just attained dracolichdom (obviously his character is unaware of this). The guy that's playing the cleric plainly hates the DMs forcing him on a path or a storyline he does not want to take... so I set HIS path from the beginning  

Welcome Relentless. Great to see another planescape nutter.

Hey, I'm new here as well. I run a Planescape game on rpol.net, play by post is slow as hell, but when you're married with children you gotta be creative to get your fix!

My group has been running the same PS game since the mid 90s.  Over 15 years now.

We run 3.5e, but I don't think we'll ever switch the game to 4e. (we play 4e some, but our PS game is too firmly lodged in 3.5e)

Also, to be fair, we really only game together twice a year anymore.
