[Juho Pohjalainen · Rating 2 out of 5]

As far as all the mystery and wonder of the planes goes, this book doesn't do a very good job at getting it across. The adventures it offer are all fairly banal and mundane - and all too often the party is borrowed magic items to allow them to even survive in their destination, which doesn't help at all. Let the players come up with their own solutions, take them on a quest, or at least have the solution come from a strange and novel place (such as the nymph kiss in the Dungeon adventure Peer Amid The Waters).
