A Walk Through the Planes – Turn of Fortune’s Wheel
While Planescape had some of the best supplements, i.e. splatbooks, in the history of roleplaying games, its track record for actual adventures wasn’t nearly so hot. A lot of the lure of the setting…
A Walk Through the Planes: Morte’s Planar Parade
Morte’s Planar Parade is a strange release in that its precedents don’t really mesh well together. Second Edition’s Planescape had a lot of monsters, and what’s more, nearly all of them had a ton…
A Walk Through the Planes – Sigil and the Outlands
I realize that I’m skipping ahead wildly in the chronology of this series, but I’ve had enough people asking me to finally offer my thoughts about the new(-ish) Fifth Edition Planescape set that I’ve…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 118: The Savage Tide
The last of Paizo’s original run of adventure paths for Dungeon Magazine arrived just as D&D‘s third edition was coming to a close. While there was still one remaining book and a handful of…
A Walk Through the Planes – Sidestory: Planar Character Options

A Walk Through the Planes – Sidestory: Path of the Planebreaker
Last time we checked in on what Monte Cook, former Planescape designer and co-author of D&D‘s third edition, he’d published Beyond Endless Doorways. That was with his first publishing endeavor, Malhavoc Press, which he…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 117: Exemplars of Evil
With third edition D&D quickly winding down, Wizards of the Coast was in a small bind. It still needed to release new books in order to, you know, make money, but at the same…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 116: Monster Manual V
At this point, I suppose it would be disingenuous for me to feign surprise that I’m covering the last monster manual for third edition D&D, as writing these up feels like it’s become a…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 115: Return of the Modrons
Remember modrons? Sure you do, since you’re reading this column, and they were a huge part of Planescape, not to mention an important species that defined Mechanus as much as the devils do Hell.…
