I just started reading this book yesterday and it is the best planescape accessory out there. Ever wondered just who the Factols are and what they act like? Is one of your characters having trouble playing a dustman? Want to visit the shattered temple but don't know whats there? Ever wondered where the Sighners came from anyway? Just how should those bleaker NPCs act? How do I join the anarchists? Or maybe you just want expanded faction abilities or want to know the personal plans of one of the factions. All these things and more are included in the Factols Manifesto. Along with a huge collection of great art that you won't find anywhere else including maps of each faction headquarters and a portrait of each factol! Bottom line this is a must buy. If you're a DM and don't have this book yet shame on you!

This book expands upon the factions so much from the box set. Besides DM stuff like stats for the factols and other important factioneers, it gives tips for roleplaying and excellent detail on the philosphies. Because the factions are central to the entire Planescape feel, it is extremely important to know them well. Even if your campaign has already been through Faction War (as mine has) I would definitely suggest buying this. It is perfect for bringing up past events and seeing what the future holds for these philosophers with clubs.

Describing the Factions of Sigil, one of the coolest parts of Planescape, this book details every faction's creed, the factols, their headquarters, and the intricate plans they have for the city of doors. As a former player, and aspiring DM, I'm glad I made the choice of Planescape. The writing is extremely enjoyable, and you'll love the pictures. Just think of all the trouble that you could get your players into when they try to rattle their bone boxes with the Xaositects. Or how depressed they could get after meeting a Bleak Cabal factotum. Written in the first person, it also uses interviews, letters, and speeches to add to the realism of the book. I highly recommend this for any cutter who likes the factions, or even Planescape. So what you standin' around for berk! Go order it!

Going barmy about the factions way of seeing through everything? Well, the dark of the plane's reason to be has become available for everybody to get, that is, if you dare. The Factol's Manifesto has interviews with the whole of the factols, their plans, and, what is most important in the planes, how to live and see thru them, but, hey, not any sod can read this!

this book is REALLY imprtant if you're planning to be a good DM at the planes, I was sad when I saw that there was too little of the factions philosophy in the campaign setting, lots of doubts hung around, but now, you can give the most important part to it, the philosophy interaction, the real flavor of the planes, to be open to that whole circus of living things out there, a MUST for any player or DM who really want to get the plane's reason to be.

This is one of the golden books of Planescape. The descriptions of the factions, the factols and their activities are great. Much cheaper than the other Planescape books (being 160 pages). It's filled with full-color art by DiTerlizzi and has everything you need for the low-down on the Factions. I don't think I'll keep talking about this book, just get it. You won't be dissappointed.

Its an excelent book for players and DMs, there are complete and interesant descriptions of every faction in sigil, and it makes every player to understand the ideology of his faction, i recomend to read the interviews with the factols they are excelent.

Uncage Faces of Sigil is my Personal fav of the 3 Sigil Books but for a DM running Sigil this is the must have book. I really like the art work and the way the book is written. Gives the DM every thing you need to run a good Campain in the city of doors.

Being an accounting of, covertly Researched under Fear of Death, of the various Factions, their Leaders, and their Headquarters in the Cage.

This book gives a full description of each Factol of the major factions based in Sigil as well as other important personae of faction politics. Even more important, included are the expanded faction abilities introduced in Dragon magazine.

Finally the dark on the factions and all the higher ups is made available to you.
