A Walk Through the Planes – Part 155: Rrakkma
“Rrakkma,” by Chris Lindsay, is not necessarily the first Adventurer’s League module that goes into the planes—though I’m pretty sure that it is, I’ve had a legitimately difficult time discerning if there’s something earlier…

A Walk Through the Planes – Part 154: Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes
