Am I going to have to do this every single time Wayne Reynolds gets on the cover? Still baffled by his continuing employment. Plus I know Succubi like it rough, but that tail and those talons would put a serious crimp in lots of human sexual positions. Oh well, I suppose that's what shapeshifting is for. Anyway, time for another relatively quick return to a theme, this time the Planes. (last done in issue 321, less than 3 years ago.) Since they also repeated the elemental theme in really short order just a few months ago, I'm pleased they're getting lots of submissions on the topic, but irritated they can't divide them up into more specialised themes that'd let them do greater depth without repeating themselves. Let's see what weird other worlds we're venturing too this time around. Scan Quality: Poor, indexed, ad-free scan. In this issue:Editorial: Erik doesn't talk about the issue's contents here, instead going into detail on just how much playing D&D has varied from group to group. Which I suppose is a somewhat related topic, as it shows just how much diversity there is within our own world, and just how much the same things can be perceived differently by different people. You don't need to venture to different universes to have mind-blowing revelations or meet people with bizarre and alien worldviews. Hell, one person can act in quite different ways depending on the social environment and who they're talking too. One person's mortal enemy is another one's loving father. Well worth taking into account, next time you think you have to turn things up to 11 to alleviate boredom, check to see if a smaller shift will be just as effective, and leave you with more room to maneuver later. Then you can spend more time and energy on other things. Scale Mail seems to be getting shorter and shorter. Is it going to go the same way as the forums. Since it didn't survive the transition to the electronic magazine, I'm guessing the number of physical letters they get is pretty tiny these days. All four of them are praise for issue 351, showing once again that the audience really do appreciate the campaign classics issues even more than the april ones. I am once again baffled why WotC scrapped them. The only real niggle is the lack of scales on the maps. They would make them more usable, it has to be said. Apart from the Kender one, which you really don't want to use anyway, but will have to if you want to get out of groundhog day.</blockquote>
