A Walk Through the Planes – Part 28: Planes of Conflict
SeanPlanes of Conflict is the last of Planescape’s 1995 releases, and since it also completes the big set of boxes focused on the outer planes, it feels like a fitting end to the setting’s…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 27: Lords of the Nine
SeanOne of those things about Planescape that has grown to bug me is that for the first year or so of its releases the setting can feel a bit like a draft. While some…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 26: Monstrous Compendium Planescape Appendix II
SeanI’m of two minds about the unwieldy-named Monstrous Compendium Planescape Appendix II, a somewhat foundational book for the setting that nonetheless remains a bit neglected, or perhaps maligned. The first Appendix, as I noted…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 24: Lords of Chaos
SeanProbably the most obscure piece of Planescape lore1 from the setting’s 90s heyday is an article from issue 221 of Dragon Magazine titled “The Dragon’s Bestiary: Lords of Chaos.” Maybe it’s the terribleness of…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 23: Harbinger House
SeanSince Planescape is from that proto-internet world of the 90s and most of the content from then has either disappeared or been thankfully pushed to the bottom of Google’s trash bin, it can be…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 22: The Factol’s Manifesto
SeanWhile In the Cage delivered enough new material to feel essential, its overall package was still weirdly lacking. However, Its counterpart, The Factol’s Manifesto, released just a month later, is an expansive release that…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 21: In the Cage: A Guide to Sigil
SeanThis is going to sound a little bit pathetic, but I’m proud that it took until now for me to completely scrap one of these blogs and start again from scratch. It’s been a whole…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 20: A Player’s Primer to the Outlands
SeanBoxed sets haven’t been a part of D&D for a very long time, presumably for a good reason. I have fond memories of seeing dozens of them produced during the late-80s and 90s heyday…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 19: Fires of Dis
SeanIt’s more than a little bit silly how many adventures we’ve had in Planescape already considering that by the time Fires of Dis was published it had still been less than a year since…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 18: Planes of Law
SeanPlanes of Chaos had the unenviable task of kicking off the setting’s line of big, boxed sets, plus the even-more unenviable task of detailing the plane of Ysgard (previously known as Gladsheim) and trying…
