Using the Booklet(PPO)

This booklet is a handy travel guide to the Outlands, one of the many Outer Planes. The Outlands can be dangerous, and cutters new to the area need to know the dark of things — where to go, who to see, and what to do. 'Course, often more important is who and what to avoid, and that's here, too talks about the mimir, a new magical item that could become a cutter's best friend. Then, it gives an overview of the Outlands itself: how the place works, how to get around, and how to handle magic. The bulk of the booklet is a more detailed look at the gate-towns and other locations that a cutter might want to explore (or avoid). While these sections don't tell a body all he might like to know, they'll most likely spare him from too quick a death. All of this material is for players to read, consult, debate, and interpret. Some of it is further expanded upon in the PLANESCAPE™ Campaign Setting, and some of it is brand new, revealing locations not covered in that product. This booklet also contains rumors (adventure hooks) that a DM can use to craft his own adventures in the Outlands.
