5.0 out of 5 stars Planescape in a Nutshell, June 28, 1999

This review is from: The Planewalker's Handbook (AD&D/ Planescape) (Hardcover)

Besides being a very beautiful book (marvelous drawings in full color by DiTerlizzi), it is the perfect complement for the Campaign Setting. I would say the 3 basic things you need to run a planescape campaign are the setting, a monstrous compendium (preferably the first one) and the planewalker's handbook. Among other useful information, it explains the "dark" of portals, gates, vortices, conduits, pools,etc. on a chapter that deals exclusively with planetraveling. Maybe they should have called it The Complete Book of Planescape.

5.0 out of 5 stars The essential for all you're planar needs, May 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Planewalker's Handbook (AD&D/ Planescape) (Hardcover)

It's the book with the usefullness of the Player's Handbook. It's informative, beautiful and for the Player and DM. It's got charts, new spells, kits, a guide to the races, planes and factions. Tips for DMs and Players and some new magic items. Plus, all-book (almost) illustrations from DiTerlizzi. A highly reccomended book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Voted best PS book by Mimir.Net readers, May 19, 1998

This review is from: The Planewalker's Handbook (AD&D/ Planescape) (Hardcover)

The Planewalker's Handbook is an indispensible Guide to Infinity, Planescape-style. In an on-going survey of opinions, it's consistently been the favourite Planescape release of about half the people who've expressed a favourite, and (after Uncaged: Faces of Sigil), it's my favourite too. There's details on spells, portals, magical items, character kits, advice on safely travelling the planes and dealing with locals and factions, more cant...the list goes on and on. Definately worth the asking price!
