A Walk Through the Planes – Part 79: Dragon Does Epic
It’s been a bit since we’ve had one of these write-ups where I’m not quite sure I should even be covering the subject, but occasionally it’s nice to read something short for a change…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 78: Epic Level Handbook
I began this series because I genuinely like reading about the weird, interplanar world TSR created for D&D. Admittedly, a lot of my enjoyment revolves around Planescape, but even now that we’re past that…
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 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…
