A Walk Through the Planes – Part 87: The Lich-Queen’s Beloved
SeanIn the context of today’s direct competition between Wizards of the Coast and Paizo, it can be weird to remember just how linked the two companies once were. Not only was Paizo made up…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 86: Humor & Hellspawn
SeanJust a month from our last planar Dragon article, we already have another pair to check out in issue #306 (April 2003), the “Humor & Hellspawn” issue. Not that either of these articles have…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 85: Cities of the Planes: N’Gati
