Guide to the Inner Planes | D&D Planescape

The Planescape campaign setting is a big place. Not only are the Outer Planes and the Prime Material Plane basically infinite, but so too are the Inner Planes. Though at least the Inner Planes are more straightforward. If you're looking to get a primer on the Inner Planes, then this is a good place to start. I hope you enjoy diagrams and pictures of fantasy landscapes, because I got lots of em. If you noticed that I basically copied my video description from my Guide to the Outer Planes video, then A+ for attention to detail. Does anyone even read KZbin video descriptions anyway?

"The plane of water feels rather gentle..." YOU UNDERESTIMATE MY THALASSOPHOBIA!!!

[@NicholsonNeisler-fz3gi]

the manual of the planes was so cool when it came out - this is a great video that only scratchs the surface. ;)

[@firetwomp6951]

You have a real talent with your description of the planes, I saw your Outer Planes video a while ago, and I keep watching it today as I run my own Homebrew Campaign. You’re a really cool guy who explains everything perfectly, glad I saw this video as early as I did!

[@Luke-n-CourtneyMentzer]

I've really enjoyed all of your planescape videos. A lot. I ran a high level planescape campaign when I was 17 to 19 (I was born in 1980 and started playing D&D by 1985). I ran the high level adventure from the Blood War boxed set. I kinda regret starting the players out at 18th level, but my players sure didn't. That made it that I couldn't pen them in, anywhere really. Especially once they spoke their own names to the Maeldur and gained the teleport ability of 2nd edition fiends. Of course they were all from the Fated too. I also ran a rough repeat of that campaign in 4e and took the party on a demon prince hunt. That all being said I would really enjoy seeing a video on the transient and prime mirror planes (astral, ethereal, faewild, shadowfell {with ravenloft}, famous pocket planes {plane of mirrors, etc.} and the far realms). Another one worth looking into would be a series of the powers published in planescape, with the addition of info from all the other editions there is on said powers. I know AJ Pickett has already done these but maybe you'll find some info he missed. Plus I like the way you cover things. I did just get the 5e planescape boxed set a few days ago and I think it is worth including from here on, but that's just my stinky opinion.

[@EmersonLaughlin-vb2zh]

You do amazing explaining the planes I would love a video about any planes that aren’t inner or outer like the fay wild and astral

[@PegaFox]

Here's some lucky timing, I learned about your channel and watched your video on the outer planes yesterday!

[@WadeAllen001]

Nice!

[@Craig_Tucker48]

I love your description of the plane of radiance. Made me lol

[@MisterTutor2010]

The way the planes can be infinite while having borders is to assume extra dimensions. The planes can be infinite in the first three dimensions while finite in the additional dimensions.

[@adrianjsf]

I always thought that the inner planes are really interesting and the ones that exercise your imagination on what happens in places of pure energy/or matter. I am really curious about the planes of positive and negative energy so it is wonderful you speak about it. I will recommend this video for sure

[@arthurpprado]

Are you telling me that if you enter the plane of vacuum, you can get someone to live rent free in your head? LMAO

[@Christian_Bagger]

Hahahahaha

[@clappagemcphee]

Man, you deserve a LOT more subs. Hope that the algorithm decides to bless you, dude

[@WadeAllen001]

Recently the algorithm did pump up my Guide to the Outer Planes video. It went from like 10k views in September to 100k now. Maybe it'll do the same for this one

[@Hellheart]

I just so happened to stumble on your video from 2 years ago about the outer planes, like half an hour ago, and I loved it. Lo and behold you made this video today! What luck! Instant subscribe.

[@Zeyga]

I absolutely love this series my dude. Very informative and useful stuff! Well done.

[@WadeAllen001]

Thanks!

[@limit1770]

Man I would love to see more in depth stuff about all the different elemental planes! Especially since you're currently doing that with the outer planes. Even if not, this video itself was amazing, just like all your other planescape videos!

[@WadeAllen001]

If the videos continue to get decent viewership then I'm sure I'll make separate videos for each elemental plane eventually!

[@steved1135]

Nicely done. Since back in the 90's, I've always struggled with the Inner Planes as a DM. The single-mindedness inherent therein makes it difficult to avoid monotony. Recently (the past 10 years...) I've gambled in using the Inner Planes and I've found success in making use of what I think of as 'impure' pocket spaces. Working so far...

[@WadeAllen001]

Yeah pocket spaces is a good idea. Other ways to avoid monotony are making use of the border zones of each plane and having settlements that people have built within the planes that work counter to the planes they're in (for instance one could imagine a civilization that's built inside a magic force field in the plane of water. It drifts through the plane of water like a bubble, but inside is a city with normal functioning gravity and air and everything else). Though I guess that second idea could already be what you're doing with pocket spaces, depending on if you mean pocket spaces in the sense of the naturally occurring ones in the inner planes or more like the artificially constructed one I described.

[@kaptenteo]

I love these Planescape guides! I hope you'll keep making them.

[@shiram2185]

great breakdown! will help immensely with my future campaigns.

[@suy21]

I was thinking that it's been a bit since you last published something, and you come back with my favorite content from you! I definitely would watch everything Planescape from you.

[@geofftottenperthcoys9944]

I grew up on (well thrown into the DEEP end, D2 Shrine of Kuo-Toa, lost my mate fav thief PC to the Elemental Plane of Water, Blibdoolpoolp was not happy!) 1st ed, but liked 2nd better, BUT I combine some 1st and 2nd edition (with some stuff from the Net Handbooks, like spells etc), still today at 57.

[@lordk.gaimiz6881]

I was wondering when you'd make this video and lemme tell you, so happy to finally see it ^^

[@Klavinoid]

I saw your video on the outer planes and it got me interessted enough to buy the new 5e campaign setting set. Now I am completely enthralled. Keep up the awesome videos, and I can't wait to see the one on the new books!

[@WadeAllen001]

Awesome! I recently got the 5e box set too, so i still have to read the whole thing before I make a video on it, and then I have to figure out exactly what that video is. The next video that I'm working on now is a guide to Baator.

[@konradpieniazek5200]

Yesterday KZbin has suggested your channel to me. I’m currently on sick leave, and was watching all videos about planescape. I watched your previous videos and today you uploaded a new one 😂🎉 I’m lucky. Anyway, great work. Your presentations of advanced dnd topic (which planes are) are very well done, even for newbies. Keep it going!

[@konradpieniazek5200]

Great video. A lot of work went into it. Enjoyed it a lot.

[@tentavision13]

i like to imagine that the inner planes can overlap like a venn diagram

[@shanehall1387]

Wow very much enjoying your planes videos

[@bugaboo_daisy9000]

Hell yeah!!! Next entry!!!

[@D--FENS]

Here is some engagement, good sir.

[@WadeAllen001]

lol thanks

[@quinnalexander3825]

You likely CAN walk across them in the same way you can walk across the corners into the different faces of a cube. They're different planes but they take up the same space, you just have to find a way through and it's likely because the elemental planes aren't 3-dimensional or linear.

[@adamhubbert8896]

The plain of steam sounds like Seattle.

[@SnakeBush]

nice

[@PIMKAMINA2]

a little silly to me that salt is its own plane considering salt is itself a mineral. are there pockets in the mineral plane of specific minerals and gems? is there a place there populated entirely by quartz? a space of only diamond? an area of amethyst and nothing else?

[@SecondPlaceYuya]

Salt has arcane and divine properties that other minerals don’t.

[@nikiraki4526]

In the Vacuum Plane the Egarus (Fungi) and Quasielementals of Vacuum do exist it seems, but where do they STAND its vacuum !

[@SonySteals]

Plane of air seems to be OP and exist within other planes the most. Neither life under water or fire cannot exist without air. Which suggests that plane of water and fire are both full of air.

[@iandakariann]

You can make the same argument for Earth given that air and fire has a ground.

[@chaossin7425]

I have to imagine that on theme spells are actually much more powerful in appropriate elemental planes. If you cast a fireball in the Plane of Fire, it should be really strong. Buuuut, given everything you would likely be fighting there would be made of, or at least immune to, fire it would do you no good.

[@WadeAllen001]

Yeah exactly, fire spells are basically worthless in the Plane of Fire. Everything's already on fire.

[@SonySteals]

Also - what do Djins hunt in quasi-plane of lightning if they are the only creatures you can find there excluding lightning memphits?

[@WadeAllen001]

There's also quasielementals and shockers. So Djinn hunt those as well as Lightning mephits.

[@HirnfuerAlle]

If the plane of water has "laws of physics" like the plane of air and earth, regarding gravity, could you crush someone with your superior wisdom, just by thinking, that the place the other person currently swims is "down" so the water pressure is higher? And is the plane of water, like the plane of earth, in total darkness, considering the fact that there's no more light below 60 meters?

[@dyslexiela8784]

i would live n the plane of salt

[@Natsirt666]

Hmmmm, wondering why the Gods didn't lock Tharizdun in the Void plane and somehow isolate it from reality?

[@filipinoguy5037]

Could you fly in the plane of air just by believing infront of you is down?

[@WadeAllen001]

Maybe if you've got high enough wisdom (like above 20). I feel like most people wouldn't be capable of such a thing, as it wouldn't feel like flying, it would feel like falling, because gravity is pulling you. So to mentally overcome the very real sensation of falling through the sky and gaming the laws of the plane to your advantage would take a particularly exceptional person.

[@Atmatan_Kabbaher]

Magic in every other setting besides dnd is generally based on the power of mind over matter meaning that no spellcaster should remotely have problems in any of the planes where personal belief plays a role. Lightning wont strike me because i imagine im surrounded in a metal cage to ground it, gravity is what i want it to be because i imagine the ground to be where i need it to be. This is why Mage is the superior ruleset when it comes to any form of belief based interactions. Why should i role for wisdom when the inherent nature of ny class should let me change how i view the world and my paradigm at will?

[@matthewnuckles5937]

please adjust your sound. I like your content but you come off WAY to soft and/or muted.

[@WadeAllen001]

Thanks for the feedback. In the future I'll have to compare my video to other videos at the same volume on my computer before publishing.

[@realhectorcastillo]

Must be your audio settings. i can hear him perfectly fine. actually quite good audio quality
