Well of Worlds is an excellent accessory for DM who are running a Planescape campaign. It includes eight short adventures for various level characters, plus an adventure that can serve as a hook to get characters into the planes from a current campaign. That is a total of nine adventures. All are well written and cleverly planned so that there is no need to 'railroad' the characters into the adventures and they are easy to insert into a current campaign. Highly recommended.

For any cutter ready to get his taste of the planes, this book is highly recommended. Complete with nine solid adventures, the characters get a good measure of all kinds of areas throughout the planes. Better yet, the adventures are all top quality, designed for role-play as opposed to hack-and-slash and easy experience points. Particularly outstanding is the adventure entitled "Recruiters". When you can get nine outstanding adventures in a loose format which the DM can easily build into his campaign, for the mere price of fifteen dollars, how can you lose!

I used this adventure book in the late 90's when it first came out and had a great time running most of the adventures from this book. This is a great primer for a DM familiarizing themselves with the Planescape setting and might be one of my all time favorite products.

Planescape is one of the best D&D settings of all time. My friends and I play 2nd edition every once in a while for nostalgia and this book is a must have! I'm sure it could be altered to work with 3rd edition too.
