A Walk Through the Planes – Part 24: Lords of Chaos
Probably 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
Since 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
While 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 7.5: Secrets of the Lamp
It’s time for another blast from the pre-Planescape past, though we’re not headed back as far as we’ve gone sometimes. Secrets of the Lamp is a kinda awkward supplement in that it came out…

A Walk Through the Planes – Part 2.5: Monster Manual II
I mentioned not too long ago that I planned on returning to the Monster Manual II at some point, and given how weirdly foundational it is to the planes I figured it makes more…

A Walk Through the Planes – Part 19: Fires of Dis
It’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
Planes 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…

A Walk Through the Planes – Part 16: The Deva Spark
Not every release for Planescape was good, or for that matter even passable. After all, we’re talking about dozens of releases from quite a few authors put out by a corporation on strict deadlines,…
