Everway and Planescape ?

I was always amazed by the Everway setting, even if never had the chance to play it.

Now, with a Planescape campaign on the horizon, I would like to fuse the 2 games, or at least insert the city of Everway inside PS. I dont know exactly how, though (thats the purpose of the topic  ).

Any ideas?


ps: for those who never heard about Everway, it is a "multiversal" hub, but more oniric-bronze age in flavour, instead of the industrial-esoteric tone of Sigil. Here: rdushay.home.mindspring.com/Museum/Fantasy/EWrevw.html

Personally, I'd be inclined to fold PS into Everway, not vice versa. Stat conversion wouldn't be a problem, given how "light" Everway is, but you'd need PS-specific "vision cards."

I don't know the first thing about CCGs, but presumably there is/was one for PS? If so, get it and you're golden. I'd play in that campaign.

So if I understand well, you'll play D&D/Planescape and use Everway elements, correct?

I'm a big fan of Everway. I use Planescape elements (and Ravenloft, and many others) in Everway but not the other way around. The two flavors mix very well but I think the setting of Everway is very generic and loosely defined. So I don't really know what is there to plug into Planescape.

My upcoming Everway campaign will feature a Githyanki invasion of the spheres, one by one. I also plan to involve red dragons, silver swords and all sorts of D&D elements.

As much as I like Everway, I think one of its main feature is a sketchy setting, though.

Yeah, I think insert Planescape inside Everway would be easier. Even system-wise.

But would be possible to merge the 2 in equal proportions?

I mean...

Nice. But WHERE they come from? The astral, like in PS setting? If so, we could say the Great Wheel of Planescape is somewhere out there. Maybe even make an adventure around this - spherewalkers sponsored by the Library of Worlds (from Everway) searching for the Githyanki home "sphere", and stumbling on the Outlands! ("where are we? And whats that donut-thing floating atop that mountain there? Do you see it?" )

Or maybe the other way around. Guvners scholars from Sigil paying the Planewalkers guild to search for this fabled city, "Everyway" or somthing.

Then they could find out there is a city thats a multiplanar hub, just like Sigil, BUT one that only connects to Prime Material Worlds, or as they call it "spheres".

We could then have 3 multiplanar hub cities - Sigil as the Great Wheel hub; Everway as Prime Material Worlds / Spheres hub; and the City of Brass as the Inner Planes / ELemental planes hub. (is this city this, right?  ). We d have Rule of three well served. :haw:
