Destroy the outsiders! The outer planes are only good as homes for deities, mortals shouldn't go there (alive).

Dear sister, the settings you have played are:

12 years old:
Homebrew of my cousin

13 - 14 years old:

RAVENLOFT: Yes dear Sister! Remember! The mists. IIRC it was Kartakass once or twice and Har Akir the other time.
I still remember the werewolves that couldn't be harmed from silver weapons! Now I know they were wolfweres.
And I also remember a foggy day that suddenly out of nowhere an army of undead (15-20) appeared.
The b@$t@rd haven't told us what the mists were or did! I was truly lost as how out of a bank of fog that we have just crossed a few minutes ago was full of undead!

I would agree with you on that, CL! I have played a lot of computer (and video game system) RPGs, and very few have ever come close to being as good as Planescape: Torment. This is a truly excellent game, which offers an interesting and detailed storyline as well as a wide variety of abilities and options. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has had the oppotunity to play this game before...

Of course I didn't remember! I thought it was homebrew of our cousin and since you didn't have that choice I said Forgotten. Besides we changed campaign very often so I remember the more recently campaigns which were homebrews or Forgotten.

Planescape all along! because of his sheerdiversity and his moral ambiguitie.

I like the faction system and i would like to visit the plane one day.
The exploration of the different belief and a good fight in the bloodwar could be funny too!

I have nothing against FR, it's just that I have/know nothing about it, so I prefer Planescape more or less by default.
