Welcome cutters!

This site hosts a homebrewed conversion of the Planescape campaign setting to Pathfinder Second Edition. Since I write Planescape and Pathfinder together semi-regularly, this site is intended to act as a convenient central hub for myself and my players, as well as other GMs who wish to run similar campaigns. Thank you for checking it out! If you want more Planescape content, I also write about monsters, Gods, and other plothooks at Daily Planescape. Much of the material I am hosting here will first appear over there.

For clarification, I do not claim, in any manner, shape, form or context, that I own either the Planescape campaign world, the d20 v3.5 rules set, the Pathfinder rules set, the material, nor do I claim, in any manner, shape, form or context, to own the rights any material, be it text, images or likenesses presented therein. I am putting this content together under my understanding of the Community Use Open Game License for Pathfinder and strongly encourage anyone that sees a problem, breach of ownership, or another issue to contact me directly at chandforth.writer (at) gmail.com concerning any needed alteration or removal.

Thank you to the litany of people who have developed the Planescape setting at TSR, Wizards of the Coast, Paizo Publishing, Mimir.net, Planewalker.com, and Rilmani.org. Your passion and creativity continue to inspire.

Also thank you to Daniel 'Tzizimine' Clarke for his awesome Eberron: Pathfinder website, which inspired the construction of this site.

Now, let's step onto the Great Wheel!

Seeking Inspiration

The following resources are useful if you are looking for some non-fiction to kickstart your campaign.

• Crash Course: It’s free, it’s on Youtube, and it’s in a ten-minute episodic format. Mythology and Philosophy are particularly relevant to Planescape.
• Coursera: Coursera is a website where university level classes are available for free. You can also get certifications from Coursera for a fee so you can build your resume while planning your next campaign. In particular, you may want to look at their Introduction to Philosophy course.
• Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History: Dan loves historical “What if?” moments, and with good reason. If you want to hear the most badass historical stories, examine how drugs, alcohol, and human stupidity impacted history, or get a sense of what it was like to live through the most brutal historical eras, this is the place for you.
• edX: Another excellent site with free courses that you can upgrade for a certificate. A good place to look for courses in the humanities and religion.
• Great Course/Great Courses Plus: GC and GC+ are not free services, but they have such an extraordinarily high production value that you can understand why. History, science, culinary theory, economics, anything you can think of is covered in the Great Courses catalogue. Great Courses Plus is their streaming service, which at $15/month for an annual subscription is a killer deal.
• Google Books/Google Scholar: My first goto for research of any kind, and the first place I advise my students to begin their research. Seriously, I’ve written papers, then had them published just using these two. Use them.
• JSTOR: If you have operated in any kind of academic circle for the last two and a half decades, you know JSTOR. Full access is tough to come by unless you are currently enrolled in a university, but you can still sign up for free to get access to journals on topics you just can’t find anywhere else (like the Mutapa Empire). Sign up with multiple users if you have to. It works. Trust me.
• Open Yale Courses: University classes, taped lectures, and course materials, all from one of the best educational institution in the world. Take advantage of them.
• Wisecrack: I’m not sending you to Cracked.com. Wisecrack is both a comedy and literary analysis Youtube channel. While the jokes come fast and furious, Thug Notes, 8-Bit Philosophy, and Earthling Cinema are all dedicated to exploring the archetypes and ideas of their respective mediums. If you want something that’s deep and hilarious, hit them up.
• Writing with Colour: The best place to go to check yourself for unintentionally problematic depictions of POC in your games. Also a great read if you are looking for details and cultural beats for NPCs you don’t share a background with. They are awesome and you’d be surprised how many chronicle ideas you can get just by binging their archive.
