	Planescape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Planescape, as its name suggests, comprises numerous planes of existence.
		Planescape is an expansion of ideas presented in the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Dungeon Master's Guide (First Edition) and the original Manual of the Planes.
		When Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd edition was published, a decision was made not to include angelic or demonic creatures, and so the cosmology was largely ignored, being replaced (to a certain degree) by the Spelljammer setting.

	Planescape: Torment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Planescape: Torment is a computer role-playing game (CRPG) which takes place in the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Planescape campaign setting, released in 1999.
		Planescape: Torment differs from similar CRPGs like those in the Baldur's Gate series by placing an emphasis on conversation and storyline, as opposed to an emphasis on combat.
		Planescape: Torment was the opposite, and the interface didn't lend itself as well to the screens and screens of text.

	Welcome to the GameVortex (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		After reading through the Planescape material, it became apparent that while the setting used the AD&D rules, the setting itself was more relaxed in terms of what was permissible and what wasn't — given that the Planescape was an infinity of infinities, anything was possible, so that affected the types of characters I created.
		Planescape is officially dead in the eyes of TSR (erm, Wizards of the Coast, erm, Hasbro).
		Planescape is all about major non-player characters with no stats, such as the Lady of Pain Herself (erm, herself, don't want to get flayed) and the multitude of gods and goddesses spread across the realms.

	GameOver - Planescape: Torment (c) Interplay (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Planescape: Torment is set (perhaps, unexpectedly) in the Planescape realm of the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons universe.
		What differs the Planescape realm from the more traditional ones are the themes dealt with — the realm is based around the "Belief is power" concept — and that which you believe in shapes that which you do.
		It is ruled by the Lady of Pain, a being most quiet and deadly, one that is feared and behooved at the same time, for her deadly swiftness of dealing death and maintaining order in the city of Sigil.

	Game Studies - Play Dead: Genre and Affect in Silent Hill and Planescape Torment
		Planescape Torment is an exploratory, fantasy RPG with themes of lost memory and fragmented histories.
		Planescape Torment is more dynamic and less static than Silent Hill because of its greater number of goals and quests, and the fact that only some of them are compulsory, as well as due to the complexity of the teams' inventory, mutating avatars and all the possible dialogue options.
		Planescape Torment aims to provide its players with a sense that they are excavating a history (the avatar's forgotten past) while exploring, more or less at will, a vast and bizarre invention.

	Gamasutra - Features - The Designer's Notebook - "Death (and Planescape: Torment)" [05.19.00]
		Although all these mechanisms are implemented in Planescape: Torment, the nature of the game seems to demand less tedious bookkeeping on the part of the player.
		Planescape is blessedly free of these stereotypes - I've played for several hours now and there's not an elf or dwarf in sight, nor, for that matter, a forest.
		The Planescape universe is far from new - according to a fan site I found, TSR first developed it in 1994, so it won't need any introduction to dedicated role-playing fans.

	Featuring Planescape Torment Review at ActionTrip
		In the center of Planescape there is mysterious city of Sigil ruled by a strange deity — The Lady of Pain.
		The main characteristics of each RPG system are the classes that determine what the character will be; for instance: wizard, thief, cleric Planescape does not allow that sort of specialization of your character at the beginning of the game (you are automatically set to warrior class).
		Planescape: Torment proves that it is possible to make an inventive, fun and refreshing game in this “sea of clones”.

	Planescape: Torment Preview
		Planescape does have some minor tweaks to the engine from the one in Baldur's Gate, but the setting is the main aspect which sets itself apart from its predecessor.
		Planescape is a whole different world than the one that Baldur's Gate was set in.
		The focal point of the action in Planescape is the city of Sigil, which represents the center of all planes, or dimensions in this universe.

	The Escapist - Planescape: Torment
		Planescape: Torment was doomed to be a cult classic.
		Planescape's ideas on character development and storytelling are still bold and exciting - and today's mainstream hack-and-slash adventures could still take lessons from it.
		The strangest, and one of the least successful RPGs from Black Isle (the company that brought you the Icewind Dale series), Planescape: Torment, which was released in 1999, took a risk by using the alternate Dungeons and Dragons campaign of Planescape, a not-really-fantasy, not-really-futuristic world that's mostly defined as unstable and bizarre.

	On The Wings of Mephits -- A Net Planescape Site
		PLANESCAPE is, in mine and many others' opinions, the best setting for AD&D. And, as a 15+ year veteran of role-playing games, I like to think we know what we're talking about.
		But, if you are still a Planescape fan, and are wondering how to continue the setting under the new rules, there might be some good ideas for you here.
		In addition to the various Things (Magical and Not), there are also rumored to be hidden some of the very Rules of Planescape that the Guvners have long sought.

	IGN: Planescape: Torment Review
		The end result is a game that has the playability of Baldur's Gate (which is no surprise, it uses the BG engine after all), the story and character depth of Fallout and Fallout 2 and an adventure that doesn't fall prey to the predictability that plagues so many games of the traditional fantasy genre.
		Planescape is a tough universe and nosy people who go around asking too many questions are very likely to find themselves in a fight.
		The real reason I thought that no one would ever be able to truly recreate the Planescape universe was the sheer number of different models that they would have to create to show off all the different types of beings you would be able to interact with.

	Planescape: Torment for PC Review - PC Planescape: Torment Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		It's set in the complex and interesting Advanced Dungeons and Dragons universe of Planescape, which is a patchwork of wildly different dimensions surrounding a sprawling city that connects them together.
		Torment abandons the high-fantasy styling of most RPGs and instead uses the Planescape license's unique interpretation of familiar fantasy archetypes, which lends the game a wholly original appearance that defies expectations for fantasy and science fiction artwork.
		That's because it's a great-looking game that's lengthy but never boring, and it begs to be played through more than once, just as its unique hero and his story promise not to be forgotten.

	AVault \| PC \| Planescape: Torment Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		To my knowledge, no one had ever developed a computer role-playing game set in the Planescape realm, and considering the scope behind such an effort, I was certain it was doomed to fail.
		One of the unwritten rules of the pen and paper sect is that to have a successful campaign based in Planescape, your party and dungeon master have to be either highly experienced or very naive.
		A lot of newbies are attracted to the realm of gods and gateways, and due to Planescape's built-in complexities and general weirdness, most games played by non-experts fail horribly.

		t the heart of the Planescape universe (both literally and figuratively) is the city of Sigil, a sort of Casablanca of the Planes.
		Ironically however, the Planescape setting is now being phased out by Wizards of the Coast/TSR with the impending release of 3rd Edition Dungeons and Dragons, which promises to revolutionize the game we all know and love.
		Planescape seems to have taken these ideas and really run with them, offering players the chance to meet the diety of their choice face-to-face.

	GURPS Planescape
		Planescape is a campaign setting that was published by TSR (and later Wizards of the Coast) for 2nd edition ADandD between 1994 and 1999.
		As mentioned above, Planescape is more than just the collection of all the planes: it is as setting that had its own tone, unifying themes, important characters, and so forth.
		The Planescape setting is mostly TL3 in GURPS terms, although there are some elements from TL's 0-2 and a fair contribution from TL4 (though not firearms).

	Planescape - RPGnet Forums
		I think any similarity in tone/attitude between Planescape and the World of Darkness is more of a reflect of their time, rather than the former intended to be a DandD/fantasy analogue of the latter.
		But, I could be entirely wrong, and the designers of Planescape could have been trying for a market niche that they felt hadn't been exploited by TSR at the time.
		Yes, Planescape was much more 'shades of grey' than anything that TSR/DandD had tried at that point (with the big, honkin' exception of Dark Sun) but the overall tone was more pragmatic than cynical.

	Four Fat Chicks -- Planescape Torment Review
		It's not the only question you'll confront while wandering the streets, alleys, halls and crypts of this game, but it's the central one, the big kahuna, and there is a scene later on where you will be forced to answer it.
		Your good/bad alignment is set to neutral at the beginning and, depending on your responses and reactions, shifts toward the light or the dark.
		Planescape Torment accomplishes all this and more, capturing the player's heart and intellect, taking him on a long, fraught journey through one of the most unique settings I've experienced in any medium and wrapping it up in a stunning, jaw-dropping finale.
