The closest anyone's ever come in my opinion was Roger E. Moore's treatment of the Astral Plane in <I>Dragon</I>, back in the day. He made the place seem weird and alien and more than a little inhospitable to adventurers, which is how it should be. Makes me regret all the more that Gygax never got around to publishing his Shadowland supplement; that would have rocked.James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-61794796292690043212008-10-03T09:39:00.000-05:002008-10-03T09:39:00.000-05:00Don't forget page 120 of the Player's Handbooks ap...Don't forget page 120 of the Player's Handbooks appears to be done by the same artist using the same "campaign setting"Robert Conleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863009007381185340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-43217740202863606472008-10-03T09:29:00.000-05:002008-10-03T09:29:00.000-05:00I was never really into running stuff on the outer...I was never really into running stuff on the outer planes. <BR/><BR/>But that picture has always left me wanting to know more about what the hell was happening.<BR/><BR/>The odd foes, the weird background, just reeked of coolness. <BR/><BR/>Then years after, the Manual of the Planes came out.
