[QUOTE="CM, post: 8286666, member: 18340"] For me it was the first time D&D really felt alien and otherworldly. [LIST] [*]That Lady of Pain logo and her backstory. [*]Sigil being built on the inside of a horizontal wheel [*]The thought of walking around this huge Dickensian city and running into fiendish, angelic, or elemental creatures [*]The endless variety of species all jumbled together [*]The "cant" slang [*]Sigil's factions - Before Planescape I don't recall any easily-accessible player factions in an official setting. [*]The numerous in-character quotes sprinkled throughout the books (which are commonplace in 5e now) I think first showed up in D&D in this setting, or at least this was the first time I encountered them. [*]Tony D's art was a big part - I got some signed prints from him at Gen Con when it was still in Milwaukee. [*]The art layout in the books was gorgeous and groundbreaking for D&D, with text frequently wrapping around the partial-page or two-page background art pieces. Before this art was typically either a full page, or boxed off in a rectangular frame with clear borders. [*]Exocet.ttf [/LIST] A couple of my favorite artwork examples from the MC1: [ATTACH type="full"]137437[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]137438[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
