flapping. A body's got to know who sells bogus goods, and who'll scrag him (or worse) just for the fun of it. 'Course, the trick is telling friend from foe.

Djhek'nlarr, a githyanki who dares map the Lady's dread Mazes
The Will of the One, a gang of Signers out to revive a dead god.
Meet your neighbors - before they meet you!
Product History Uncaged: Faces of Sigil by Ray Vallese is a textbook example of how to make a NPC-focused game supplement that thematically matches the campaign setting. The city of Sigil, floating hub of the infinite planes, is a swamp of interconnected plots, shifting allegiances, and secret promises. This supplement to the Planescape line echoes the city's themes by creating a collection of 40 NPCs and groups who are similarly woven together by secrets and alliances. The result is a tapestry of interesting personalities that can be easily dropped into a game as a minor character or a major NPC, all of them loaded down with plot hooks for further adventure. Do I Know You? Each detailed NPC includes game statistics, roleplaying tips, combat tips, history, motivations, secrets, and connections to other NPCs in the book. Brand new, full-color art illustrates each NPC. There are NPCs detailed from all walks of life, from the titan Zadara, the secret investor behind many a shady business expedition, to The Us, a swarm of cranium rats that has achieved terrifying power and wisdom. The Ties That Bind. An appendix gives further information about other individuals and organizations in Sigil that might be of interest. Several pages of quick plot hooks are illustrated with diagrams that details each NPC who might be involved in the plot. A final page details at a glance where in the city each NPC might be found. Focused and Complete. Uncaged: Faces of Sigil does just one thing - mapping the nebulous social intricacies of Sigil - but it does that thing very, very well. This is a book well worth reading.
