Planescape: DM’s Guide to the Planes (D&D 2e): Getting lost is fun 💫 RPG Retro
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ส.ค. 2024
- Planescape is a setting published by TSR in 1994 for Second Edition Dungeons and Dragons. Its designer was David Zeb Cook, and it is primarily based on 1987’s Manual of the Planes by Jeff Grubb.
The setting came in a box set comprised of four books and a series of maps. The books were the DM’s Guide to the Planes, Player’s Guide to the Planes, Sigil and Beyond, and the Monstrous Supplement, as well as four large maps. This video covers the DM’s Guide to the Planes.

This was the first Ad&d campaign setting I bought with my own money back in the day. I was twelve years old and really dove into lore of the setting. I really enjoyed playing there and my friends and I used it to link Dark Sun, Dragon Lance, Ravenloft, Forgotten Realms, etc.
While I've never played a Planescape setting. I always make sure that there's a door to sigil in all of my home brew worlds. ;)

I was just going to write that the ending was a little rough ;)
I own all of the box sets, as well as most of the supplemental books; it's a great setting.
NIce. I think because of the video game that came out in 1999, the value of the physical books has skyrocketed. Although I like to think it's because it's an awesome setting with a limited run.
This should be necessary viewing for anyone interested in D&D's history. Really appreciate the work you put into your videos!
Wish I owned this box set or knew someone who could let me leaf thru it. It's such an exciting and unique setting, imo. I'm glad we got Planescape: Torment as well. It all really gets your imagination going.
This is the best description of such complicated game realms I have seen.
Complicated? I've never heard anything that makes me wanna have my players come here
funny you mention Virgil in the beginning there. I was always reminded of divine comedy , and the gilliam film "time bandits" when playing on the planes. i miss 2e. wonderful vid!
Damn......there's so many possibilities with this setting. Makes me wish they would've made more games featuring more planes.
Outstanding work. You paid tribute to one of the best, most unique and thoughtful campaigns settings ever.
Discovered by chance. So cool to have videos about the pen and paper game on YT as most videos deal with the video game. This rpg ist just mind-blowing. Keep up your good work.
That was very good ! Planescape and Ravenloft are the only non-homebrew campaign settings I ever used. They are great !
Brilliant review! It clipped the end though.
Yeah, I know. It drives me crazy. I'm debating on whether to repost it.
@@DaveThaumavore Weird that it does that. It was too much planar knowledge to be contained in one video upload.
for me, Planescape is both peak 90s fantasy aesthetics and peak d&d
about getting in to the astral: you may astral travel, and your true body will be left back in your home world, but you can physicaly get in the astral too, like using a portal.
Great job! Thanks for making this video.
Avant garde - that’s the perfect description of Planescape. That’s why I love it. Best setting ever.
Also you may have the terms “layers” and “realms” confused. They mean different things in Planescape.
Best setting ever done period.
This is awesome!
Was debating on wether to buy this box set and run it for one last hurrrah. I’m sold, I suppose I will be reading and writing for months. Gorgeous video by the way, really well done :)
Thanks! Good luck on your swan song to Planescape. Hopefully you will go to amazing places with it.
9:02 You forgot about the infinite staircase, in starting in Ysguard. You can also use the Outlands as a bi-way, if you have the appropriate portal keys.
more videos about planescape pls
This is a must to know when creating a campaign for players attending godhood. Why does this have only 1k views? o.o
Great review! i i have fond memories of running a AD&D 2nd Planescape campaign back in the day, sigil is one crazy place. Any plans of doing other Retro rpg reviews? Dark sun, 1st edition gamma world, 1st edition traveller "classic traveller", star frontiers. All are gems in the rough and worth peoples time, all the same keep up the good work your reviews are appreciated.
Aion Infinity There are a lot of great retro titles to cover. I have a few in mind but haven’t decided yet.
@@DaveThaumavore Cool!
the material plane don´t sit in the edge of the ethereal, he is immerse and soaked, permeated by that.
Okay I just wanna attempt to understand this here real quick.
Things you can use to get from the Material Plane to anywhere else, including the Ethereal, Astral, and Yggdrasil. You can take them from the material to wherever. But the Material is made out of a bunch of crystal spheres bobbing along on a phlogiston sea, and the only way you’re supposed to be able to go to alternate universes is through that phlogiston. If these other forms of travel surround the material, though, wouldn’t you be able to, say, pop into the ethereal and then out into another crystal sphere?
Or, is the idea that it you access these transitive things from one crystal sphere, you’re like bound to that sphere unless you switch to another one by crossing the phlogiston?
And as far as the feywild/realm of faerie and the shadowfell/plane of shadow go, they’re supposed to be reflections of the material. So are they reflections of the entire material plane (I.e. there’s a feywild version of the phlogiston sea) or is there a separate feywild/shadowfell for every crystal sphere?
Just now rediscovering this setting. I had every single intem/book/adventure in this AD&D setting. Pity i sold em all decades ago
you are mixing a few things: travel between planes in the outer planes is described as reasonably easy. getting from prime to the outer planes is described in the books as hard.
Such a good review! However, the background music becomes very distracting about 15:01 until 16:31
🤘💜
20:05 Have you heard of The Expanse RPG? It's got a section on Belter Creole. I don't know if that counts as a mainstream RPG.
Yeah I did a review on The Expanse a few years after doing this review.
The ending was abrupt ^.^
Mokona Yeah, an unfortunate technical mistake on my part. You’re not missing much, just 10 seconds of outtro.
@@DaveThaumavore No problem it's just one of those things that can catch you off guard.
you don´t have to be an animal to visit beastlands
Greetings Dave I really enjoyed your video. Can you tell me what music did you use in your background? I want to use it to my planescape campaign.
It was a nice review, but why did you leave out the alignments of the planes? That was a feature I quite liked in the material.
That was an oversight I realized too late in the production process.
@@DaveThaumavore Each plane being both a manifestation of and a locale suited to living out an alignment was what made the cosmology fascinating to me.
For anyone curious, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Plane has a quick summary of each plane and its associated alignment.
*ahem*
If you're referring to an inscribed or painted symbol considered to have magical power, the correct pronunciation is "si-jill". If, however, you are referring to the City of Doors in the Planescape setting, the correct pronunciation is "si-gull". I mean pronounce it however you like, but everyone's going to think you're a clueless Prime. ;)
Great overview, though. Thanks for putting it together!
Yeah, I caught that error, too....
I am 100% a clueless Prime.
Is this mechanics-free? That's genius!
Ant Devamp It’s meant for D&D 2e but it’s extremely easy to ignore the little bits of the 2e rules they stick in there.
I didn't realize Frank Oz was a graphic artist?
🕯️🚬💜
Does this video cut off mid sentience at the end?
Yes. You aren’t missing much. I haven’t made the mistake again since at least!
I can't wait for them to do a proper treatment of this setting for 5e.
Shaun Whitfield There’s quite a few pages on planes in the 5e DM’s Guide. Not a proper treatment though.
@@DaveThaumavore Did they bring the planes back for 5e? I was rather put out when they scrapped them in 4e (changed to an expansive, mostly undifferentiated "Astral Sea" or something).
reddir Yeah the DM’s guide pages 43-68. Like I said, it’s not a proper treatment.
@@DaveThaumavore I don't have any of the 5e material, but I am happy to hear they brought back the planes. I suppose 20-some pages in the DMG opens the way for fans to do a conversion (is much conversion even necessary?) to 5e.
I kind of get why they might have wanted an "astral sea" situation, but I think they lost a lot when they dropped the planes we see in Planescape.
is there a part 2? how come the video cuts off
The cutoff has been commented on and is noted in the pinned comment as well.
Here is the second Planescape video: th-cam.com/video/k32k1VRM8zg/w-d-xo.html
What happened to the end?
you don´t go back to life in ysgard, only in asgard REALM
