Most content creators: Here's my forty-seventh video on the 2024 PHB. Jorphdan: Gate Towns!

We're calling it a 'FAR GATE' not a 'STAR GATE.' Well what's the difference? The difference is we're not getting sued. LuLz -Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Recently finished GMing a Planescape campaign.
The players visited Sigil, The City of Brass, Second layer of the 9 hells(Dis), Pandemonium, Mechanus, Elemental Plane of Air and first, second, fourth and Fifth Heavens of Mount Celestia.
Gatetowns we visited were:Bedlam, Automata and Sylvania.
Your videos were a huge help! Thanks for the great work!

I haven't had the Planescape campaign setting in ages, but if memory serves me, The Lady of Pain, ruler of Sigil, had something to do with the anti-magic in the Outlands, especially within Sigil. It was security related, I think. This phenomenon also created a black market, I think. I dunno. It's been so long. One thing I -do- remember is that Sigil and the Outlands are a fascinating setting. If I were a horizon walker, I would spend a lot of time there.

I like the concept of Sigel and the Outlands. They seem like a really cool place to have adventures.

YOOOO I'VE ACTUALLY JUST STARTED PLANNING A PLANESCAPE CAMPAIGN RECENTLY!!! This video is a timely surprise 🥳

[Valior]

I only got the 5E version of Planescape because of the limited version art of Tony DiTerlizzi. But I still love the old Planescape.

[Slamdance]

Really looking forward to hearing more on the gate towns!

[apexofhumanity]

I converted all of the modron march and dead Gods to 3.5. Still have the notes somewhere....

[josephmiller]

When can we expect the second part of this? Love the content, just curious 😅

[seekthevisceral]

Beard or no beard, good to see you, sir! :)

[danielkover]

If I could actually be in the DnD multiverse, my class would be mage (because I love magic), and my hero class would be a horizon walker (because I love exploration and travel). I can't think of many better lives to live than that. 😊

I wonder then how do towns try to keep from getting absorbed?
Do lawful towns try to have some chaos? Do evil towns have a day when they try to not be evil? or at least not too evil?

[ETthehorse]

It is a sad state of affairs to having to point out Hasbro WOTC failures with continuity, recons, ignored canon and poor design to front load you video, yet you ideas and thought are point for sure Thanks for a great video

[MissZencefil]

Great video! Any advice on how to keep all of these planes and towns connected? It kinda feels a bit too much for a DM to prepare for 1-2 planes or gate-towns or in high levels... all of them! As teleportation is quite common, it is quite easy to just jump to plane to plane and each has so much information on them.

[knowbleman]

Not seeing a Part 2 ….. Part 2 please :)))

[f.a.santiago]

Which book should I buy to get the complete information on the Gate Towns? Should I get the 5e or the original books?

[BBGunsPGH]

Why use the gate towns when sigil has doors to all the planes and you cant get to sigil from the outlands? Running a planescape campaign and this has been bothering me.

[fistimusmaximus]

Any word on part 2? Did I hear right and that was claimed aswell?

[frankie]

I love the outher planes so I was super excited about the planescape books. I was a bit dissapointed that there wasnt much about the planes themselves, but they're still great books. super fun to look through.
Id love to run a planescape adventure some time but Im terrible at DMing lmao

one thing I dont get tho. the abyss shouldnt have a gatetown since theres no way out (hence the blood war), soooo... I dont know how that works anymore tbh and what that means for the lore
