A Walk Through the Planes – Part 73: Manual of the Planes Web Supplements
SeanWhile Wizards of the Coast released a handful of publications and supplements on the internet beginning in 1999, when D&D‘s third edition came about there was an absolute explosion of new content. Unfortunately, much…
A Walk Through the Planes – Part 71: Calm Amid the Storm
Sean“Calm Amid the Storm,” written by Bruce Cordell for the March, 2001 issue of Dragon (#281), is an odd tie-in to his recently published Psionics Handbook in that it doesn’t actually concern psionics1. Almost…

A Walk Through the Planes – Part 63: Of Sigil and the Sea
