A Walk Through the Planes
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 85: Cities of the Planes: N’Gati
As of third edition D&D, the Astral Plane was the only truly unique location of the multiverse in terms of time and space. Ok, maybe some demiplanes had their own weird business going on,…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 84: Fiend Folio (Third Edition)
While the Manual of the Planes and the Book of Vile Darkness are usually cited as third edition’s best forays into planar material, the Fiend Folio is one of only two works from this…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 83: The Jackal’s Revenge
We’re back at another one of those Prime-focused planar adventures in Dungeon, and as such much of what I said for 1999’s “Deep Trouble in Telthin” applies once again. Published in issue #95 of…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 82: Hellish Fangs on Abyssal Wings
While I’m not usually a huge fan of the results, I understand the impulse to create planar dragons. After all, the game is named Dungeons & Dragons, and dragons tend to be pretty sweet…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 81: Book of Vile Darkness

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…
