A Walk Through the Planes – Sidestory: Planar Character Options
Before reading through the book, I’d kinda assumed that Planar Character Options, the third and so far final part of Monte Cook Games’ quas-campaign setting Planebreaker, was going to be my least favorite of…
A Walk Through the Planes – Sidestory: Planar Bestiary
I’m of two minds about the Planar Bestiary volume published by Monte Cook Games as a companion to their campaign setting Path of the Planebreaker. It’s filled with over 150 new monsters, most of…
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 114: Expedition to the Demonweb Pits
At the very end of Dungeons & Dragons edition 3.5, Wizards of the Coast surprised the game’s fans with a series of large adventures that returned to old, favorite locations from the game’s history,…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 113: Diplomacy
While I’ve covered a fair number of planar adventures in Dungeon, the number that I’ve actually liked has been rather miniscule. The main cause for this, I suspect, is simply that most of what…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 112: The Planes
For my purposes, it’s certainly handy that Paizo decided to title every issue of Dragon that they published, though sometimes those titles are a bit… uninspired. “The Planes” is issue #353 of the magazine…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 110: Beyond the World Serpent Inn
Like a lot of people, I was thrilled when Paizo decided that its campaign classics issue would be an annual tradition… though unfortunately, the company would only manage to print three of these total…
