A Walk Through the Planes – Part 46: The Day of Grace
Meant as a very, very tenuous tie-in with the forthcoming Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix III, “Day of Grace” is a one-page short story from Monte Cook set around Sigil’s New Year’s Day Celebration. It…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 45: Pox of the Planes
Already we’re back at Dragon Magazine‘s annual issue (missing half a year of releases due to bankruptcy will do that), with another contribution by Ed Bonny, one of the more obscure Planescape authors but…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 44: Dead Gods
In 2004, Dungeon Magazine, now under different management but still heavily involved with the D&D license and largely made up from ex-TSR employees, published a list of “The 30 Greatest D&D Adventures of All…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 43: Modron Magic
In contrast with Monte Cook’s previous articles for Dragon Magazine, which built out Planescape’s lore in a way that felt useful and almost necessary, “Modron Magic: The Sorcery of Structure” is an example of…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 42: The Great Modron March

A Walk Through the Planes – Part 41: Mysteries of the Dead Gods
As with all of their campaign settings, following TSR’s revival/change in ownership Planescape went through a weird glut of material at the end of 1997. Somehow the employees kept writing new adventures and supplements…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 40: Faces of Evil: The Fiends
It’s unfortunate that Faces of Evil: The Fiends was the last Planescape release Colin McComb would fully author before leaving TSR. Almost everything he’d written up until this point was really leading here, and…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 39: A Handful of Keys
The final Planescape release of 1996, and in fact the last release for Planescape they’d ever publish until the company was somewhat resurrected by Wizards of the Coast, is unique in that it’s mostly…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 38: Doors to the Unknown
For the final time1, we’re returning to an adventure from the Planescape setting’s author who has inadvertently become my nemesis, Bill Slaviscek. This is his fourth appearance in this series, and third time with…
