This book is alot of fun to read! Instead of just giving game information on the NPCs (Non-Player characters), the reader is also given an idea of each character's believable personality and story. These guys aren't cardboard cut-outs. Before long, the reader starts to feel like they're actual people who live next-door!

The best part is that each characters' story is connected to each other in some sort of indirect network.

TSR did a good job in making a living, breathing book. Not only is this a game reference book, but a well-crafted story book too!

This book also has strong connections to FACTION WAR and IN THE CAGE: A GUIDE TO SIGIL. It also has some connections to the other Planescape products.

If you like Planescape, you'll love "Faces". It's certainly my favourite PS release to date; the forty-plus characters described are all incredibly original, detailed and exciting; the artwork's fantastic; and -- the real reason I love this book to pieces -- each character's intricately linked to the others, creating a great web of intrigue and deceit. And that's _exactly_ how I see Sigil. Buy this book. You won't be disappointed.

What I like about this book is that it is all Char development. Every NPC in the book is linked to every other NPC in the book. I think its useful for DM cause it gives 40+ NPC of all lvl that the PC can more realisticly meet. Cause com on how many Faction high ups will give the pcs at low lvl the time of day? Where this book gives you the common fock who really keep the city of door interesting and on its feet.

This book basically rehashes some of the NPC's for Planescape that were introduced in Dragon magazine. There are a few new NPCs as well as a web of intrigue to connect a few of them. If you're looking for some ready made NPCs with a history and intrigue to grow an adeventure from, then this is your book.

A beautiful work of TSR, the art of Tony D is great, and the stories you read are so interesting that someone may want to put you in the deadbook, for reading them and knowing so much.

In this book you can see people in Sigil that think in very strange forms. people that think in your factions and they living for something.

I really enjoyed this accesory. All the charachters are fleshed out and belivable. Its added a lot to my planescape campaign.
