Lots of material for you buck, this product really helps to 'fill out' the various Chaotic planes. Good points: Varied monsters, nice adventure outlines, great sections on changes in magic (like Abyssal lords striking back at groups that use magic in their domain) Bad points: Monsters require translation for 3rd edition groups, the maps are virtually immpossible to use without useing a lot of ink and putting them together properly, and some sections are a bit light on rules for the fascinating situations they describe (like the aformentioned section on magic in the Abyss), but these can be overcome, and the last one is actually rather uncommen in the book.

Very well put together. I expectially like the sections on ecology and society (something I thought was laking in the 3E Monster Manuel). Unfortinatly, many of the creatures are in the 3E MM already (and I think others might be in the Fiend Folio, but I don't own that), but this book realy put them in a new light (and made them more then just stats to fight). No table of contents, and artwork only fine, but the monsters were great. Recommended for anyone who wants to do some serious adventuring on the Outer Planes.

A very good, detailed look at realism in D&D settings, addresing such important topics as ressurection magic and serfdom. Highly recomended.

I found the completed version a bit dificult to keep upright, but it looks good and the reference section is good.
