Guide to the Abyss | D&D Planescape

Video Description

The most comprehensive video on the Abyss in existence. In the Planescape campaign setting for D&D, there are 17 outer planes, which are essentially the realms of D&D’s afterlife. There’s one plane for each moral alignment, ranging from chaotic good to lawful evil to true neutral. I’ve already covered the planes of lawful evil and lawful good in depth. In this video I’ll be telling you everything you need to know about the plane of chaotic evil: the Abyss.
