NWN: Sigil - Planar Legends

Sigil: Planar Legends (or SPL) is a Neverwinter Nights persistent world (online server) meant to offer a unique and diverse RP experience in an environment in which the players can affect real change on the world. NWN was launched with the tools that Bioware used to create the game itself, the Aurora engine. Using this engine teams have been able to create worlds, races, classes, etc. in an effort to basically forge their own RP settings. The second tool Bioware gave to the community is the Dungeon Master client, the DM client as it were. The DM client allows those in charge of a PW to basically act as gods, to change the world, spawn entities (and possess them), to basically do anything that might be done. Between these two tools NWN offers a truly amazing ability to facilitate RP in such a way that no other video game can hope to achieve.

The setting of SPL is an older Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting known as Planescape in which characters stand side by side with the deities, fiends, and strangers beings of the more standard D&D campaign settings. The focal point of SPL is the city of Sigil, the metropolitan center of the D&D universe, and it is believed that from there characters will be able to scheme or consort with all manner of entity as they strive to leave a lasting mark on the planes themselves. No matter your character's goal (leading nations, to even becoming a deity) there is nothing that should be outside the realm of the possible when dealing with the Planescape setting.

So whether you're an old NWN hand, or a newbie interested in what NWN and SPL can offer please come and take a look. We'd love to see you.

This is a great opportunity to create your beloved Neverwinter PC's before the launch of NW. It gives people an environment to RP their characters in a dynamic, immersive environment and perhaps even allow us to forge some of the guild ground work in an IC fashion before NW goes live. I've been playing Pyre for years on SPL, and thanks to a highly talented group of RPers, and very capable DMs have enough stories behind him to fill many books.

If you're interested you can learn more on our website (I am server the admin and head DM) and the recently finished FAQ.

The Hive Ward of Sigil, you will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Also razorvine, lots of razorvine.


"Donnae celebrate for this man's death, men..women. Instead, mourn for a Multiverse that produces'm. Feel that pang in your hearts, if they beat still with th'vigor'f fervent youth and Justice, the one that pulls us towards a future and a 'Verse without this trauma. A place where Law governs and the Lawless become extinct.

Shh. We start with Sigil, and we never stop. Until every corner is illuminated by the bright light of Justice!"

Currently in the process of building a rather vast dungeon complex that will be the Plane of Dreams. This is the opening area, from here you'll see that the dreamer had a penchant for nautical exploration (examining the bookshelf will deliver this information). There will be 4 main areas in all (the last two are already built) which get progressively harder and more nightmarish as you move further in.

bit of a shameless plug, eh?

If that's how you wish to view it, sir. Merely advertising a place for people to get their RP on before NWO launches.

It is just so good for that exact thing too. As was discussed in this very thread in fact:

What to do during long droughts

So given we're just a few hours away from another beta window, it might not seem that useful, but come Monday or Tuesday, this server is an excellent surrogate, PARTICULARLY for us role players, since we can sharpen our skills, or delve deeper in our characters.

entropy's entire project is a great asset to the RP community really and I am glad he struck out and let everyone know about it here.
