I dive in to share my unvarnished review of the latest slipcase set release for Dungeons & Dragons, Planescape – Adventures in the Multiverse, from Wizards of the Coast. The slipcase contains Sigil and the outlands, Morte’s Planar Parade, and Fortune’s Turn of Fate, as well as a Dungeon Masters screen. The three volumes combined contain 256 pages of material.

SUMMARY

like the setting book and gazetteer, while in indifferent to the bestiary, and the adventure is just plain awful. I find the setting to be intriguing but I also have the feeling this 5E version of Planescape is far different in it's fundamental tenants of the setting than the original version. The adventure is unbelievably bad with a multitude of issues from feeling like none of it was ever playtested to boring and repetitive quests to the player characters never actually traveling to any other plane. All told? A rather uninspiring product and it looks as if Wizards of the Coast knew full well they were unleashing a lackluster release on 5E D&D fans.
