Spatial anomaly. The tower's length gets infinitely compressed towards the center of the tower. If you were to try to climb up, you would never reach the top if you had infinite time to attempt it. The top makes just as much sense as having a bottom to begin with.

I love the factions of Sigil so much. Despite being so "twisted", almost all the philosophies make a certain manner of sense to me. They don't feel as "cartoony" or "obvious plot device"-type as factions in typical rpg settings. I still have a soft spot for Dustmen because of Planescape Torment.

One form of punishment you forgot to mention with the Lady of Pain: Being put in her shadow. If her shadow engulfs you, you experience a horrendously, unimaginably horrific and painful death by flaying, with the experience of ten thousand blades dicing you to nothing. Of course, this can happen even not as a punishment, if someone makes the mistake of even just walking into the shadow without knowing its danger.

Sigil is... an interesting realm. Why is it circular? Is it the ring, or crown, of some ancient god? Perhaps it is but a byproduct of connecting every plane to one dimension? Perhaps it was built by an ancient race of arcane masters, who built it as a place of travel, but left their handiwork unclaimed? A circular shape does allow easy access to all gates on the plane. The mysterious origin of sigil is fascinating to me.

The Lady is the genius loci (spirit guardian) so has the magical power of an entire universe at it's disposal.

Torment deserved numerous sequels. There's just not enough creative talent in the industry that respects or cares or understands Planescape to bother with it. Just look at the newest Baldur's Gate where they spent tons of resources just on the character generator to be sure everyone can be as gay as they want. That's what the focus is right now, a player's genitals, not philosophy, myth, lore, cosmic mystery, or adventure.... just d*cks and p*ssies. Everything else is secondary, if it's considered at all.

OG Planescape's Sigil was better. New Donut Sigil feels like its trying to hard to be whacky when its the people and culture of sigil and the clashing extremes of ideology there-in forced to co-exist in relative peace that make it a fascinating place.

This is a bit of a unpopular opinion but its my honest opinion about the Lady of Pain, the fact that there is nothing talked about the Lady is more of a Lazy is a way of making a powerful thing without any effort in saying way like a armature writer making up for his short comings by writing nothing so the reader can fill in the blanks for them. Yes a little mystery is fine but in the world of DND where we now everything about everything. Even just saying that she is a Elder Evil (Like Ubtao) and nothing else would be fine we know a metric fuckton about that category. In my opinion a player with the normal books and setting should not know More then the Far Realm and Cthulhu mythos creatures in it then the lady of pain. Maybe it's because all my players are all experience to dnd and when a thing shows up with no lore or even a origin it just feels lazy. :/
