Such a narrow minded view. The Fallout franchise was 'dead' until Bethseda decided to something with it. - seriously, when was the last Fallout game BEFORE the release of Fallout 3? What was the gap between the 2 games? NOTHING is dead until it is forgotten completely and PLANESCAPE is far from that.

An odd response considering Obsidian's past history - Alpha Protocol is the only game so far not to be based on a PNP game. Even before Obsidian was formed most of the staff worked on PNP conversions: Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Planescape Torment etc.

Thank you for the link - I definitely found it interesting. I am aware that PLANESCAPE was discontinued as campaign set per se, but as I have said above, ALL of the elements that made up the Setting - Sigil, the inner and outer planes etc, ALL exist in 4th editiion D+D, okay so you might have to take the PLANESCAPE title away and call it something different (call it OUTLANDS or Dungeons and Dragons Multiverse, or Sigil and Beyond. etc) Call it Sigil Days if you must!!!! But the planes themselves are stil a valid setting for 4th edition adventure. And if it proved popular enough it might be enough for WOTC to bring the PLANESCAPE setting back.

Rumour has it that the next NWN is going to be a MMORPG. If that is the case why not start a new franchise of D+D CRPGs for the singular player and set it in a different campaign world: PLANESCAPE - long overdue a return, especially since it can encaspulate all of the other campaign settings as well. While Wizards of the Coast no longer produce specifc material for PLANESCAPE all of the elements that make up the setting still exist in D+D 4th edition - The new 'Manual Of The Planes' still has has sections on Sigil. I think a return to Sigil would be th best course now and with NWN2's engine (and Toolset - it would definitely need a toolset) it could be an absolutely fantastic experience. There are so many tales that could be told in that Multiverse and ulitmately there would be very few restrictions, since whole new planes could be made to accomodate adventures. PLANESCAPE: Torment ws one of the best CPRGs of all time and now would be the perfect time to bring PLANESCAPE back (especially see all media seems to be going through a 'dark and gritty' stage, which is ideal for PLANESCAPE). A whole new audience needs introducing to the setting. Sigil could easily take the place of Neverwinter as the central point of adventures and the Lady of Pain was a much more compelling and mysterious character than Lord Nasher ever could be. 'C'mon Cutters, I'd be willin' hand over some of me hard earned Jink for some bub,... I mean a new Planescape franchise...' What do you think? The campaign for the return to Sigil starts here....
