Dungeons & Dragons will release its Planescape boxed set later this month.

The Planescape Boxed Set is both the best Dungeons & Dragons product published in 2023 and also a product that struggles to adapt the memorable Planescape campaign setting for the modern era.

One of the key problems with publishing a Planescape product for 5th Edition is that Dungeons & Dragons has largely moved away from alignment as anything more than a roleplaying prompt. There are no longer spells that only affect characters of a certain alignment, nor are certain classes limited to characters whose core philosophies are rigidly affixed to a specific alignment.

I also enjoyed Morte's Planar Parade, a collection of monsters from across the Planes, many of which are high level. Outside of my minor quibbles about making an ancient time dragon into a mere CR 26 creature equal to the power levels of other ancient dragons, I thought that Morte's Planar Parade was a much more colorful and diverse collection of statblocks than the disappointing bestiary found in Bigby's Presents: Glory of the Giants.
