Complete Planscape List

[Shemeska]

It isn't official, but there is also a fan-made Planescape web-novel called Fire and Dust by James Gardner.

Actually it might be official since it was actually bought and paid for by TSR as I recall, but it never saw print. The author since released it for free on the web.

Guide to Hell - this genericAD&D supplement details everything you wanted to know about Hell but were too afraid to ask...it even has the half-devil, something unseen in 2E (and maybe 1E as well) until then.

Warriors of Heaven - a generic AD&D supplement on how to use celestials as player-characters, and how to run a celestial campaign.

Lots of contention of these two precisely because they lack that Planescapey flavor and all. A ton of people reject GtH because of the direction it went with Asmodeus, but I'll stop at that or else I'll open up a can of worms.

WoH was interesting, but I thought it heresy that it gave non immortal life spans to many of the celestials. Art was good though.

Where did you read that? According to his page on why he isn't writing any sequels to Fire and Dust he didn't get paid for it. To quote the relevant paragraphs:

Much as it was fun to write Fire and Dust, it took me about nine months to do it...nine months when I wasn't writing other things. Furthermore, the number of people who've read the book on the web is nowhere near the number of people who've read any of my hard-copy novels (published by Eos).

I'm afraid I'm not ready to give another two years or more to produce further novels that will only be read by a handful of people. I can have just as much fun writing other things, and those other things actually bring in money.

The last sentence in the second paragraph seems to make it clear that he didn't get any money for the novel...which lends doubt to the idea that TSR bought it.

Personal rejection is purely a personal choice though. Guide to Hell is canon, and even if it were rejected en masse that wouldn't change. Same for the material in Warriors of Heaven. (This doesn't take into account that the 3E materials on Asmodeus and celestials bring both the previously written materials into degrees of contention, of course.)

Btw, I notice that your name here also is missing the second "h" is "Shemeshka". What's up with that?

"I'm fickle. Deal with it."

Read through the entry on Shemmy in the Planescape 3e guide to Sigil material on Planewalker. That should explain.


And I'd have sworn that the Fire and Dust author got paid, or was at least contracted by TSR to write that novel. Might be wrong though. Hmm.

 

[Zjelani]

Nope, he wasn't paid. He wrote it "on spec", meaning he wrote it just in the hopes it would get published. TSR passed on it.

When I finished the book, I sent it to my agent who sent it to TSR. My agent finally heard back from them in June 1996 (which tells you how long it sat on TSR's desk...let that be another warning to anyone who writes AD&D books on spec). The book was rejected.
