A Walk Through the Planes – Part 77: Interlopers of Ruun-Khazai
I’m aware that David Noonan had a big hand in third edition’s planar work, editing everything from the Manual of the Planes to Deities and Demigods to the Planar Handbook, and many books in…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 76: Bastion of Broken Souls
I almost wrote a joke review of Bastion of Broken Souls instead of this entry, which simply said, “Everything I said last week about Lord of the Iron Fortress, but the opposite.” And while…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 75: Lord of the Iron Fortress
It hasn’t even been very long, but I already miss Planescape. A lot. In theory, I’m interested in any sort of planar adventure or writing, as the possibility space and cosmology of this world…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 74: Out of This World
In addition to the newfangled web supplements we covered last week, Wizards of the Coast continued supporting its primary publications with thematically related issues of Dragon. For third edition’s Manual of the Planes, this…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 73: Manual of the Planes Web Supplements
While Wizards of the Coast released a handful of publications and supplements on the internet beginning in 1999, when D&D‘s third edition came about there was an absolute explosion of new content. Unfortunately, much…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 72: Manual of the Planes (Third Edition)
This is the big one. Up until third edition D&D‘s Manual of the Planes, the game’s multiverse had only grown in one direction: bigger. More planes had been added, and with them more complexity.…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 71: Calm Amid the Storm
“Calm Amid the Storm,” written by Bruce Cordell for the March, 2001 issue of Dragon (#281), is an odd tie-in to his recently published Psionics Handbook in that it doesn’t actually concern psionics1. Almost…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 70: The Harrowing
When I began this series, I rushed through the first few entries and didn’t go into as much depth as I would later. Partially this stemmed from a desire to get to Planescape, which…
A Walk Through the Planes – The Lost Modules: Heirs of Elemental Evil
As noted earlier, through internet shenanigans (i.e. downloading way too many ancient torrents until finding one that both worked and had the file I was looking for), I managed to nab myself a copy…
A Walk Through the Planes – The “Lost” Modules and an Interview with William James Cuffe
Unfortunately, not every officially published piece of Planescape writing is readily available. No, I’m not talking about the tie-in novels, or the fan work from sites like Mimir.net and Planewalker.com, but rather the handful…
