3.0 out of 5 stars An Anthology and Game Accessory All Rolled Into One!, June 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Player's Primer to the Outlands (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons/AD&D/Planescape Audio CD Accessory) (Hardcover)

This boxed set is designed for the Planescape RPG game. The main highlight of this boxed set is the CD which is a collection of [mostly] short stories. There are also short clips of what life on the planes. The quality of the CD is superb. It was obviously made by professionals who might be familliar with the radio show business. Many of the stories were entertaining and funny. My favorites were the Order of Anarchists (Track 3 on the CD), a hilarious short of some bumbling theives in a town called Automata, and Plague-Mort (look on the CD for the Track number), the story about how a town saved itself from some fiends trying to send it to the Abyss via magic portal. The CD is great for DMs (Dungeon Masters or Game Masters) who love to use music and special effects in their campaigns. The game book was unfortunately a bit too sparse on game information. And there weren't enough maps of the various gate towns found in the Planescape game. The info on the gate towns themselves were too generalized. This is the only part of the boxed set that disappointed me. The only thing that managed to save this set from getting only one star was the CD. And for you Planescape fantics: The CD itself makes an interesting addition to your collection!

I really Like the CD with the different planes and gate towns explained that said the rest of the product contain less informatin than most the planescape adventure books. However I do own and think that with a little work it can be useful for running an Outlands Campain or vists there.
