Delmirsis leaned back in his chair. He loved these green primes, their wide-eyed view of the Great Ring, and (most especially) their purses full of jink. Six of them sat in a circle around him, waiting to hear more. One exag- gerated look toward his empty mug and the tall one was quick to order him more bub. "So, tell us more about the Abyss. We heard that's where all the nasties live," the black-haired woman said. "Well," Delmirsis began, INTRODUCTION "you're right and then you're wrong ..." "Mostly wrong." The voice from the now-open door- way was deep and steady. "The real 'nasties' are right here in Sigil, peeling clueless sods like yourselves." The woman was tall and imposing, walking to the table with an assured stride. She leaned down until her face was even with that of Delmirsis. Even the primes could see the contrast: His profile showed a few days' stubble and his breath stank of cheap bub and old cheese, while her face was sharp with confidence and determination. "You're not wanted here, Tarsheva. I'm trying to tell a sodding story to these top-shelf young cutters." "Here in the Cage, we call berks like Delmirsis 'cony-catchers'," Tarsheva said to the newly arrived adventurers. "Old Two-Fingers, as we call him, is try- ing to peel you. He hasn 't been out of town or beyond in years. He probably hasn't even been out of this tavern in days." She turned back to Delmirsis. "Pike your screed and get out, old man. Or I'll show you the new way they're THA + 'S +HE treatingSample fat, smelly file bashers like yourself in Avernus." WAY ©F +HE PLANES Delmirsis knew Tarsheva Longreach 's reputation. He grabbed his hat and shuffled to the door without a word or a look back. BERK' The experienced planewalker settled into the old man's chair as T W ©'-'FINGER.S s^e sP°ke- "Now, if you primes want the real chant..." Planewalkers are the most knowledgeable bloods this side of... well, anywhere. If a body's not stuck in the mire of some prime-material world, if he knows the chant, then he knows a planewalker's what he wants to be. Plane- walkers know the dark of things. They've seen the acid pits of the Abyss and the gold-leafed trees of Arborea. They wend their way in and out of faction in- trigues. They make their homes on the twisting streets of Sigil, the city's ever- changing secrets their purview. Planewalkers know the paths to power. Planewalker's Handbook is a guide for planewalkers, beginning and expe- rienced. It offers all manner of suggestions, advice, tips, and new information. Think of it as a travelogue to the planes, a guidebook for planewalking, and a training manual for bloods — all wrapped up into one source. • 4 • USING +HIS This book contains everything a player needs to participate in a PLANESCAPE™ campaign. Some material has been pulled from other sources, so that this book will be a complete player resource. Other material has been re-presented, clarified, and expanded into a new form with additional details not offered to players be- fore. Most of it is completely new to players and Dungeon Mas- ters (DMs) alike. More specifically, this book is for players of planar charac- ters. A number of secrets of the planes, Sigil, magic, planar travel, the factions, and more are re- vealed here.

  • Campaign Information
    Arak and Gwydion (Some Thoughts on the Shadow Elves' History) By R. Sweeney Gwydion isn't a 'real' demon, but rather a creature of great power from the plane of shadow. Gwydion's evil was his enslavement of the ShadowElves. His torment is his betrayal by Arak. Unlike Vecna, he was not on the prime and could only be 'trapped' because he was trying to follow the Shadow Elves into RL. (Presumably to kill them or re-enslave them). I wonder what Arak was thinking, however. Would there be anyplace he could take the Shadow elves into exile where Gwydion could not follow? Did he think he could hide from such a powerful creature? Gwydion must have had an enemy. A sibling perhaps. The Shadow Elves must have acted as some sort of armed forces for him. Arak must have believed that if Gwydion suddenly found himself without his Slaves, he would have been destroyed by his rivals. However, there other.. less satisfying, perhaps, ways of re-writing ShadowElf history. Gwydion, the shadow-being, falls 'in love' with an elf from some other world. They mate, bear children. Woman dies, Gwydion takes his children and their children as slaves. Millenia pass. Arak was Gwydion's favorite. Perhaps, Gwydion had mated with one of the Shadow elves of unsurpassed beauty and begat Arak. Thus, he set his son above all the other slaves. Arak, however, desired more than to be the head of the slaves. He managed to betray his father to his enemies. Arak had intended patricide. He was going to take away Gwydion's protective armed forces, leaving him vulnerable to attack by his other enemies.

  • Welcome to the Great Ring
    Planescape Campaign Setting Chapter 1: Introduction Introduction Project Managers Ken Marable Gabriel Sorrel Editors Gabriel Sorrel Sarah Hood Writers Gabriel Sorrel Sarah Hood Layout Sarah Hood 1 There hardly seem any words capable of expressing the years of hard work and devotion that brings this book to you today, so I will simply begin with “Welcome to the planes”. Let this book be your doorway and guide to the multiverse, a place of untold mysteries, wonders the likes of which are only spoken of in legend, and adventurers that take you from the lowest depths of Hell to the highest reaches of Heaven. Here in you will leave behind the confines and trappings of a single world in order to embrace the potential of infinity and the ability to travel Introduction wherever you please. All roads lie open to planewalkers brave enough to explore the multiverse, and soon you will be facing wonders no ordinary adventure could encompass. Consider this a step forward in your gaming development as well, for here we look beyond tales of simple dungeon crawling to the concepts and forces that move worlds, make gods, and give each of us something to live for. The struggles that define existence and bring opposing worlds together will be laid out before you so that you may choose how to shape conflicts that touch millions of lives. Even when the line between good and evil, lawful and chaotic, is as clear as the boundaries between neighboring planes, nothing is black and white, with dark tyrants and benevolent kings joining forces to stop the spread of anarchy, or noble and peasant sitting together in the same hall to discuss shared philosophy.

  • An "Official" Spelljammer Guide to the Spheres [Revised 1.0]
    Guide to the Spheres An "official" Spelljammer Guide to the Spheres [revised 1.0] By Paul Westermeyer aka GMWestermeyer Table of Contents: Page Section 1 Introduction 2 Phlogiston Navigation 4 Phlogiston Transit Times 4 Where is the Rock of Bral? 6 “Official” Flow Map 7 The Spheres and other Phlogiston Locations 23 ‘Loose’ Planets/Worlds 34 Bibliography: Introduction Spelljammer is a very unique and creative setting, but it is also one of the worst organized settings TSR produced with material is scattered among many different products. This makes it very difficult to find what you are looking for, a problem exasperated by Spelljammer’s status as a ‘connection’ campaign, designed (like Planescape) to connect the ‘big’ three settings, Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, and Dragonlance. I’ve been working to alleviate this problem by writing guides and indices for those aspects of Spelljammer that are most important for creating a coherent, rational game setting. The first of these guides was An “Official” Spelljammer Timeline, which collated Spelljammer-related historical mentions in published TSR products into a cohesive, coherent timeline that Spelljammer (or Hackjammer) gamemasters could use as the foundation of their own, personalized campaigns. This guide, An “Official” Spelljammer Guide to the Spheres, has a similar purpose. Spelljammer’s iconic center is the Rock of Bral, just as Sigil is the iconic heart of Planescape, Spelljammer’s setting cousin, but Sigil’s location is quite firmly placed at the center of the Plane of Concordant Opposition, metaphorically the heart of the entire Advanced Dungeons and Dragons multiverse. Moreover, the various inner and outer planes are all well mapped in relation to each other, and have been ever since the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Player’s Handbook in 1978.
