A Walk Through the Planes – Part 102: The Shackled City
After Paizo took over the publication of Dragon, Dungeon, and Polyhedron magazines from Wizards of the Coast, all three periodicals went through substantial changes. Soon, Polyhedron would be gone for good, but oddly this…

A Walk Through the Planes – Part 101: Quicksilver Hourglass
One of the best things about Planescape was its decision to base planar adventuring around low- and medium-leveled characters. You didn’t need to be a level 100 monstrosity from The Throne of Bloodstone to…

A Walk Through the Planes – Part 90: The Ebon Maw
As usual, Dragon featured a tie-in article for the Book of Exalted Deeds. However, “Holier Than Thou: Celestial Monster Classes, Part I” by Christopher Perkins doesn’t actually feature any lore. Rather, it’s just statistics…

A Walk Through the Planes – Part 7.375: Into the Silver Realm
I’ve been doing my best to be as thorough as possible in documenting every remotely major release that TSR/WotC published with information about the planes1, but I must admit that despite the already-insane length…

A Walk Through the Planes – Part 32: Nemesis
