Planes of Conflict is an accessory for the second edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, published in 1995.
Planes of Conflict contains six maps and five manuals for use with the Planescape setting.[1] The set details the Beastlands, Bytopia, Elysium, Carceri, Gehenna, and the Gray Waste.[1] These planes serve as checks and balances to keep the other outer planes of the Great Wheel in their place, despite efforts by Law and Chaos to swing the balance of the multiverse favorably by controlling these planes.[1] Each of these planes drains the lawful and chaotic tendencies from characters who spend time on them, each plane bending characters to its own form of neutrality.[1] This set examines the nature, inhabitants, and environments of these six planes using the quotes, illustrations, and slang common to the Planescape style, presenting information as a blend of gossip, observation, and conjecture.[1] The manual for the Dungeon Master provides a concise foundation to build a campaign on while leaving freedom to allow the Dungeon Master to work creatively.[1] The set includes four quick-start adventures that explore the nature of these planes.[1]
