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…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 68: The Planar Armory
Before we get going, let me acknowledge that I’m well aware that this article isn’t going to be the most interesting entry of this series. “The Planar Armory” by Glen Jukes appeared just two…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 67: Vortex of Madness
When is an adventure module not an adventure module at all? No, that’s not a riddle, as the answer is quite simple: when it’s Vortex of Madness, the final of the pseudo-Planescape books published…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 66: Planescape: Torment
It’s time for the big one, and I’m not quite sure where to start. Or continue. Or even end. Unlike every other release we’re covering for this series, most people who are reading this…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 65: Guide to Hell
While Warriors of Heaven felt like a hastily reworked Planescape product in more ways than one (emphasis on the word hastily), Guide to Hell has no such issues. It never feels like it should’ve…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 64: Warriors of Heaven
The response that surprised me most in my interview with Monte Cook, Ray Vallese, and Colin McComb was when Cook claimed that the three 1999-2000 TSR releases Warriors of Heaven, Guide to Hell, and…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 63: Of Sigil and the Sea
“Of Sigil and the Sea” isn’t the first Planescape piece by William James Cuffe, but it is the first (though not the only…) one we’ll be covering here. Prior to this article, which is…
