For the last three years I've run a Planescape campaign through almost all of its modules. Now, after successfully finishing it, I want to look back and review these adventures, highlighting the pros and cons of each one, starting with the introductory one — "To Baator and Back".

Today's review once again brings you to Sigil, where a serial killer is on the loose, a new cult worships the Lady of Pain, and even the dabus act weird and nervous. Whoever is behind all of this, you soon understand that the answer lies inside the Harbinger House...

Valdar, thanks for posting these!

I have always found Planescape interesting, but have never played in the setting and never had a party that wanted me to run it / or felt secure enough in wrapping my head around the setting assumptions (v my normal lower magic games) to push to run it.

You are welcome!

Well, for that you need the players that are interested in the setting itself. Generally, fans of Planescape: Torment are a good bet.
