==Published Planescape books== ===Core Books=== *''Planescape Campaign Setting'' *''Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix I'' *''Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix II'' *''Planescape Monstrous Compendium Appendix III'' ===Expansions=== *''The Factol's Manifesto''. Details the factions, their important members, and the factions' headquarters. *''Faces of Evil: The Fiends''. Details the major and minor races of the Lower Planes. Introduces Xanxost the Slaad: easily distracted, always hungry, and hilarious. *''A Guide to the Astral Plane''. Details the physical (well, quasi-physical) nature of the Astral and its inhabitants. *''A Guide to the Ethereal Plane''. Details the Border, Deep Ethereal, inhabitants, and includes rules for creating demiplanes. *''[[Hellbound: The Blood War]]''. Details the [[Blood War]]; includes three adventures and a Grubb comic with art by Tony DiTerlizzi. Monte Cook later admitted he was listening to ''The Downward Spiral'' for this one. *''The Inner Planes''. Details the Inner Planes. *''In The Cage: A Guide to Sigil''. Details locations and personalities of Sigil. *''On Hallowed Ground''. Details the Powers of the Outer Planes, their realms, and their followers. *''Planes of Chaos''. Details the chaotically-aligned Outer Planes. *''Planes of Conflict''. Details the neutrally-aligned Outer Planes. Extremely uneven in quality. *''Planes of Law''. Details the lawfully-aligned Outer Planes. *''A Player's Primer to the Outlands''. Details the realms and locations of the Outlands; includes an audio CD with tracks representing information given by a ''mimir'' (a magical speaking skull). *''Uncaged: Faces of Sigil''. Details important NPC figures in Sigil. ===Adventures=== Most of these are anthologies or (like ''Dead Gods'') linear stops between one set piece to another (but in the Planes!) - so they may as well be anthologies. ''Da Vinci Code'' had proved to late 1990s authors that they could get away with this style of narrative. *''The Eternal Boundary'' *''Well of Worlds'' *''In the Abyss'' The low point in this line. More like "''In the Bin''" amirite?? *''The Deva Spark'' *''Fires of Dis'' A high point. The (mostly) good plane Arcadia has lost a Macguffin. The parties venture through the first two layers of Baator to retrieve said Macguffin from Dis himself, avoiding pitfalls both physical and moral. Dante would have been proud of the cynicism and satire on display, and that the module didn't wholly succumb to it. *''Harbinger House'' *''Something Wild'' *''Doors to the Unknown'' *''The Great Modron March'' The Modrons are on the move and that's the thread bringing these setpieces together. Foreshadows the return of [[Orcus]] whom [[Lorraine Williams|You Know Who]] had exiled. *''Faction War'' *''[[Dead Gods]]'' here in the ''Modron March'' sequel [[Monte Cook]] does his thing, for better or worse. *''Tales from the Infinite Staircase'' *''[[Die Vecna Die!]]'' Technically not in the Planescape line. *''Expedition to the Demonweb Pits'' There ''is'' official Planescape content for 3.5. The start of the module in chapter 2 (the first is all background info for the DM) has the party arriving in Sigil, with an overview of the city and its rules given. After this it's still expected to be the party's base of operations until the end of the module. Unfortunately, for reasons beyond the comprehension of mortals, Wizards of the Coast decided it would be a great idea to not mention the Planescape connection at any point in the book description. Thus even dedicated fans of the setting often have no idea it exists. Not helped by that the module itself is kinda meh outside of the Planescape stuff. ===New Campaign and setting revival=== In 2022. Wizards of the Coast announced a new three-book set, promising a brand new campaign, setting and bestiary. In addition, a new PC race called Glitchling was also revealed, βa cousin or perhaps a sibling to a rogue Modron,β an immortal being associated with the Planescape setting which the players will be able to build-up skill and personality-wise. Later that year it was confirmed that the new campaign setting would be releasing as a boxed set similar to Spelljammer: Adventures in Space sometime in Autumn of 2023. ===Fiction=== * Assorted fiction at the [http://www.planewalker.com/wings/ Wings of Mephits Fiction Archive] * ''Blood Wars Trilogy'' by J. Robert King * ''[http://planewalker.com/wings/archive/firedust.html Fire and Dust]'' by James Gardner, a fairly good novel available free (and legally!) online. * ''Pages of Pain'' by Troy Denning, includes a possible back-story for the Lady of Pain * ''Planescape: Torment'' by Ray & Vallerie Vallesse, the official novelization of the video-game based on pre-development information, in contrast with... ** ''Planescape: Torment'' an adaptation by Rhys Hess, the better received unofficial fan-novel of the video-game.
