The History of Planescape in Dungeons and Dragons - Strange Details (Part Two)

This video is the second part to the series of the history of Planescape in Dungeons and Dragons. Part two focuses less on the history and more on the small strange details that makes the Planescape setting what it is. If you haven't seen part one, then the link is here: • The History of Planesc...

It's upsetting that there is no part 3 on something so interesting, but a widely covered topic like Baldur's Gate 3 receives so many vids.

[@MrNetWraith]

One has to wonder why WotC chose to maintain the post-Faction War identity of Sigil in 3rd and 4th edition since, for all their faults, the Factions are so key to Planescape's identity. Maybe with 5e they'll finally wise up and have a new era of Factions arise after the Lady of Pain changes her mind. After all, she always loathed the Indeps because their independent thinking made them too hard to manipulate, which is why she's always taken an active interest in winnowing their ranks.

when I first dipped my toes into Planescape, I was a bit turned off by the factions mostly due to how obscure and immaterial they felt. Then, when I played Planescape Torment I realized how wrong I was. The Factions work because they are involve themselves in the functioning of Sigil. the Harmonium are the police, the Guvners are the lawyers, and the Godsmen are smiths. Even the Sensates provide a service the characters might need.

This video and the prior one are amazing. Your editing skills are brilliant.

[@HarbsNarbs]

Thanks, Mark! I really appreciate that.

[@HoriaMarchean]

Great videos! More Planescape, please!

[@xylord18]

Factol’s Manifesto is my all time favorite rpg book. It’s pure fluff for the DM really but it doesn’t point you in any direction whatsoever. It’s just the most pertinent facts and rumors that you need to know to bring the factions in Sigil to life.

[@alicantoprak2759]

Again, a great summary dear sir. Thank you!

[@HarbsNarbs]

No problem, Ali!

[@TheMomus]

When you look up the cockney rhyme for "berk," it brings a whole other dimension of insult to the word.

[@Drummermean2]

I missed this video after having a busy week earning jink. Good to see part 2. I'm enjoying these a lot! ...btw, it is spelled, berk, berk!

[@HarbsNarbs]

I know 😂 I watched the video twice before uploading it and then once more when I had already uploaded it and that's when I saw it. *Facepalm*

[@alicantoprak2759]

My favorite words are “clueless” and “sod”.

[@SimonAshworthWood]

Nice movie & useful substance for making gardens and stuff. :)

[@miggypeso909]

Awesome video. Looking forward to part three.

[@HarbsNarbs]

Cheers, Mig. Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@olafisashark5105]

I cut my teeth on 3rd edition planescape, its was so freaking good and the art was one of a kind. Torment was awesome as well. the steam edition is worth a buy if you have a computer. May the lady watch over you, friends. The toad demons are my favorite art out of 3rd and orcs look amazing.

[@TheDovahkinia]

I really hope for some Planescape easter eggs in BG3

[@HarbsNarbs]

That would be great. There are already plenty of mentions of the blood war, so there is definitely room for some Planescape references.

[@yeast7485]

One tiefling from avernus has mentioned Sigil by name, so at least there is that

[@jocelyngray6306]

Is that Part 3 gonna come? I really liked your videos.

[@ben5056]

Really hope 5e brings the setting back. And if Larian makes more 5e games, they could have so much fun with planescape

[@HarbsNarbs]

Definitely, Ben! I'd love for the setting to return to DND and any DND video games :)

[@picklemuncher99]

I agree! But I think if larian touches it, They need to step up their dialogue severely.

[@matthiasstaber9216]

@@picklemuncher99 they should make a contract with the dude who wrote dysco elysium

[@stalkeler]

That’s my life’s wish, dude. Got Larian to do Planescape Torment game as they did with gameplay in BG3 and DOS2 and Fallout dilogy remakes. They defo know how to do isometric RPGs

[@ben5056]

@@stalkeler if BG3 goes well, I’m sited they’ll make more games from WoC

[@kindred84]

Part 3 when?

[@TheRPGChick]

Encore! These two video are fascinating and so well done. Are you still planning on a third video?

[@metallsnubben]

These 2 videos were great, time to watch part thr... oh GUESS I'M CLICKING THAT BELL HUH

[@MeduseMercure]

great video, thanks a lot :)

[@HarbsNarbs]

Thanks for watching, Meduse

[@southron_d1349]

I didn't get Planescape at the time. Not only did it fail to interest but I thought it was some kind of Monty Haul campaign where slaying gods was common. By the time I discovered otherwise, money was a bit tight. Now I'd much rather see its return than an MtG crossover.

[@KrazyKobold]

Did you ever end up making a Part 3, I couldnt' find it?

[@HarbsNarbs]

No, sorry. I never ended up doing it

[@KrazyKobold]

@@HarbsNarbs Ok, good to know. I'm really loving your history/lore videos and just going through them all now. Thanks for making them!

[@MindFeather]

there's talk of a "part 3" here, but i can't find it on the channel. and now 5e has released it's version of Planescape. are there plans for a continuation of this topic?

[@nihildomini]

Encountering this setting at the age of 11 basically ruined all other fantasy settings for me. If it wasnt this unique then I never saw the point.

[@joshuatellier5803]

3?

[@HarbsNarbs]

Sorry, it doesn't exist

[@MrNetWraith]

I don't think we'll see the Cant return in 5e, simply because a lot of the Cant is based on very real English slang that is still actively in use today. Using the English slang word for c*nt with the casualness of surfer-slang's "dude" won't go unnoticed in this day and age, alas.

[@bogomolka666]

Where is part three?

[@luffyjam]

Will you redo your Twisted Rune conspiracy videos? The sound on them were not great.

[@HarbsNarbs]

I didn't have a proper mic way back then... I will probably revisit that kind of thing in the original games at some point in the future.

[@MOTat18]

WHERE IS PART THREE!!

[@HarbsNarbs]

It doesn't exist :(

[@Seercho]

Where is part 3?

[@HarbsNarbs]

It doesn't exist, sorry
