A Walk Through the Planes – Part 99: Diaboli
SeanWhile third edition’s Dragon and Dungeon magazines featured planar content more frequently than they did earlier in the publications’ histories, it remained a relatively rare event. Even rarer, though, was the decision for these…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 97: Darkness
SeanOne of the larger changes third edition made to D&D‘s cosmology was transforming the Plane of Shadows from a demiplane into a transitive plane coterminous with the Prime. And while this would make you…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 96: Planar Adventure
SeanI knew something was up with the “Planar Adventure” issue of Dragon (#321, July 2004) from its first page of actual content. Editor-in-chief Matthew Sernett’s editorial “Pass the Ketchup” focuses on his love-hate relationship…

A Walk Through the Planes – Part 82: Hellish Fangs on Abyssal Wings
