I floated this idea a few weeks ago (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?38014-D-amp-D-Stargate-Planescape-Campaign-Idea), and (I think) it's about ready to get started. Sigil will be the home base for the campaign, with the group being sent out on missions to various locations via portals. It'll be fairly straightforward stuff to begin with, with adventures getting longer and more involved as the group settles and the game progresses.
Characters:
Sourcebooks - I have modules for the PHB, DMG, SCAG, VGtM, and UA. I am unlikely to approve any Mystic characters until I am a bit more familiar with the mechanics. I will be adding some Planescape backgrounds and races that aren't among the standard options from the 5e books, based on the AD&D 2nd Ed Material.
Level - Characters will begin at level 3
Ability Scores - 33 points, standard costs, plus 16 costs 11 points.
Hit points - Maximum for level 1, you can roll or take the average after that.
Backgrounds – You can customise your background as per PHB (pick 2 skills; pick 2 from tools, instruments, games, or languages; pick 1 perk). Rolling, or just selecting Personality, Ideals, Bonds, and Flaws from the tables is fine, but that’s not a complete background. You need some story; 1 A4 page should be enough, not looking for novels. Good stories that I can tie into future plots might earn you a free Feat. You are encouraged to connect your backgrounds to other PC's.
Alignments - evil or traditionally non-co-operative alignments or character concepts, will be actively discouraged. If your character can't work as part of a group, you need a new character.
Deities – Clerics and Paladins need at least one, likewise archetypes for other classes with divine aspects (e.g. Favoured Soul). Druids and Rangers (and connected archetypes) – may choose a deity, but general “nature worship” is sufficient. Arcane / Non-magical types – up to you.
Multiclassing - possible with justification (via background or roleplay), e.g. characters showing no interest in religion, will be unlikely to suddenly become Clerics or Paladins, characters that have never stepped outside a city will find it difficult to become a Barbarian, Druid, or Ranger. Combinations that give two different kinds of spellcasting (e.g. Wizard/Cleric) will be expected to take appropriate traditions/domains e.g. no Light Domain Clerics with Shadow Magic.
Equipment – standard starting equipment (Background + Class), plus a “wish list” for approval of reasonable non-magical extras. (Think in terms of tools, a particular weapon, maybe a horse for transport, that sort of thing)
Just poke with any questions.
