I dig the monsters in the Planescape release. They're pretty well suited for adventures in and around Sigil and the Oustlands. That being said (plug plug), if you're looking for MOAR MONSTARS to populate your infinite planes, check out Monsters of the Infinite Planes! I'm pretty happy there's...

I caught Dial of Destiny a few days ago, and it was ... fine. It was a fine movie. Nothing great, but yeah about as good as Temple of Doom (and still more cohesive than Crystal Skull). My biggest complaint is actually the missed opportunities to get down and dirty with the idea of grief...

As I developed the content for my Codex of the Infinite Planes articles (collected here in a cool hardcover at the DMsGuild!), Sigil was one of the no-no areas - I actually had to pull down the original Codex PDF because I had two references to Sigil in the text! I'm selfishly glad they are...

Might I recommend my Codex of the Infinite Planes book? Like you, I found the Planescape content to be focused on a handful of planes. While Sigil isn't available on the DMsGuild, the general planar content is, so I took that and built out codex entries for each of the 16 Outer Planes, the 4...

HORRORS OF MOUNT THRONDOR A Dungeons & Dragons adventure of exploration and madness for character levels 11 to 16 Many centuries ago, the dwarven kingdom of Sarphil stretched out across the Galena Mountains east of the Moonsea. They dug for the precious metals hidden beneath the rocky terrain...

Say what you will about AI art but it's helpful to visualize some of the weirder aspects of the planes. I hope no one steals my adventure "Ruby Light of the Fire Whales"!

YES! This 100%. Exactly how I felt about Planescape as a setting and the products released to support it. I'll add that I didn't care for the unreliable narrator aspect most of the books had as well - fun to read as a narrative, not fun to parse through as a DM to figure out how to use at the table.

I mean, sure. But so it goes with every setting - it's individual locations that make it cool. Waterdeep is cool. Faerun is filler. Etc., etc. The benefit of the larger setting for those cool locations for me is "associative imaginative thought processing" (patent pending). Start with a known...

I think all of the planes in the Great Wheel are heckin' cool (as the kids say?) because it's imagination bound by the flimsiest of rules - which, sure, you can apply to any general D&D setting. But the planes are a framework established within the history of the game as a place where the "rules...

Excellent advice! Also, as an adventure designer, absolutely understand the failure state. Anytime you call for a check in the adventure, you risk failure. If the adventure requires something to happen or be found, don't gatekeep it behind a check. Instead, consider changing the framing of the...

I don't have any real arguments against anything on this list. Though you seem to be missing Albuquerque (one of my personal faves under The Originals), and I have a soft spot for Trapped in the Drive-Thru, which I did not realize was a parody (well, stylistic parody at least). I'd also make an...

I'm only playing/running in one game right now. Been going since March 2020, Voyage of the Final Dawn (planar-focused campaign), looking to end at 20th-level by the end of this year (or shortly into 2023). Githyanki Fighter 11 (Psi Warrior)/Sorcerer 6 (Draconic Bloodline) Aasimar Paladin 16...

LotR 12-2 = 10 Willow 8 Krull 2+1 = 3 I consider it a point of personal pride that Krull made it to the final 3. I think I’ll watch it tonight to celebrate!

Conan the Barbarian 9 Conan the Destroyer 17-2 = 15 LotR 21 Willow 10 Krull 11+1 = 12 Is Krull an awesome movie? Yes, yes it is :D But for this poll, I think it's one of the best D&D movies - band of heroes of varying skill and competence go on a quest to save their kingdom/princess from an...

Conan the Barbarian 17+1 = 18 Conan the Destroyer 18 LotR 26 Willow 14 Krull 18 Princess Bride 1-2 = -1 Not must mostly dead, all dead now.

Conan the Barbarian 23 Conan the Destroyer 26 LotR 32 Willow 9+1 = 10 Krull 17 Princess Bride 10-2 = 8

Conan the Barbarian 33 Conan the Destroyer 28 LotR 34 Willow 20+1 = 21 Krull 26 Princess Bride 23-2 = 21

Conan the Barbarian 29 Conan the Destroyer 29 LotR 32 Clash of the Titans (1981) 17-2= 15 Willow 34 Krull 26+1= 27 Princess Bride 31 Yay Krull holds strong still! It's going to be tough that's for sure when it gets down to the final six. Barbarian gets it over Destroyer for me every day and of...
