Good content and good print for softcover POD. Similar issues as most other Planescape products but way much better than Planes of Conflict. Content wise I like it a lot.

However one of the issues was that the cover for the book was wrong. Instead of the cover of the box set, the cover is the blue Player's Guide. Otherwise a quality POD.

This is a POD review. As said otherwise, the content of Planescape in second edition speaks for itself. Having said that, the physically quality of the text is excellent. The print is dark and easy to read, there are very very few print issues and the paper is so thick and of such excellent quality I often worried I was skipping pages as I was suddenly whisked away into the past and found myself being sixteen again and ignoring algebra class to page through this book.

Print appears to be stable, the scans look good, I saw few offsets. The binding edge, which will likely give up the ghost to folds and wrinkles with time, seems to be well bound. I was pleased to see that the title on the print edge was centered and not wonky and off to one side as was the case with the Planes of Conflict. It is not perfect, rough treatement or opening it too widely or treating it like a magazine will likely see the binding eventually break and pages flee.

The content of the 2nd edition Planescape books themself is ecellent, so this review will be purely about how the reproduced books look, both in print and PDF.

Honestly, if the other two Planescape setting books had been of similar quality to this one, I'd be completely happy. The text is darker making it easier to read, and spacing on art and pages is clearly improved to previous two. There's still some stuff that's too light, but it's very much in minority and something I'd be willing to chalk up to this being a standard print rather than premium one. Similarly, some of the images don't quite reach to edge of the page, but even that seems like a minority this time around, and it's quite a bit easier to ignore here.

I guess you could improve this by releveling some of the pages to make them easier to read, but everything is fine enough here, aside from Monstrous Supplement. Also, unlike other books which have feature cover art of the box itself as front cover, and back of the box detailing the contents as back cover, here... Covers are for Player's Guide to Law. Not really breaking, but it's something that'd be nice to get fixed to keep these uniform. While I would rebuy the other two in Premium if bunch of errors from them was fixed, this I'd gladly buy again in Premium just to have a good book in better format. Would be cool if this'd be hardcover too.

Basically it is a great product. The scans are decent mostly. But I'd rather see a reasonable naming of the files and what bugs me most is that all poster maps were scanned to small snippets. There is no whole map but several pages of parts of the map on which even the text is cut off and which are upside down, etc. ... that is really bad. Sorry to say but If I didn't buy it in a bundle I woulnd't have wanted to have payed 10 dollars for it... Others like the Planes of Chaos Box have large and complete scans of the poster maps... why not this one? On the other hand Planes of Chaos has its own issues... (see my review there) Please, please correct that... otherwise I can't give 5 starts.

The scan are great except for the monstrous compendium. They are absolutely horrible. Could you please do proper scan of that book?

I've been a Modron fan, since I say Nordom in the Planescape: Torment computer game, so I quite enjoyed learning more about mechanus.

Then, there was the detail on Baator and other lawful planes: good stuff.<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: Yeah! Detail on Modrons! Whee!<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Not essential for Planescape games unless you are a DM intending to run games in these planes. Plenty of information on Mount Celestia, Arcadia, Mechanus, Acheron and Baator, their inhabitants and sites. Also, of course, the superb illustrations.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

Much better organized than the other two sets in this series (appropriately enough). Planes of Law details the five lawful planes, with the usual intense focus on the Lower. Enough additional detail is given on each plane to make four of them suitable for adventuring and three of them interesting. It's not as misconception-shattering as Planes of Conflict or as out-and-out whacked as Planes of Chaos, but if you have Guvner or Hardhead PCs, or just characters who like touring all around the whole multiverse, it's a good deal for $4.95.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Arcadia and Mechanus both get a real facelift, both coming off less as generic TSR "non-Lower-plane-who-cares" environments but as eerie, unpleasant places full of secrets and mysteries. Baator didn't need any more help, but it gets it, and the section on the Garden is a masterpiece of creepiness.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: I think Mount Celestia is just about unsalvageable -- a boring place full of boring beings that's no fun to adventure in (not in the least because you can't even travel on the plane without acting according to its alignment, something not true of any other plane. Acheron is made playable, sure, but its original origin as a bad joke (the plane of battle being an endless void full of bouncing dice) still colors every reinterpretation of it.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

The Planes of Law box set covers the Outer Planes that are lawfully aligned: Mount Celestia, Mechanus, Arcadia, Baator, and Acheron. Each plane is detailed in a separate booklet, and each booklet contains three adventures (for low, medium, and high level characters) pertaining to that particular plane. A player's guide is also included that describes the ins and outs of the lawful planes and how to get around them. This box set also contains a book of monsters native to these five planes. Overall, the books do a good job of describing the nature of the lawful planes, which I've always felt were the most difficult ones to both explain and portray (maybe I'm just too chaotic myself). If you're going to get this box set, you really should get the Planes of Conflict and Planes of Chaos sets as well. They're all unique in their own right, but the Outer Planes are so interrelated that it really helps to have enough information to get the entire picture of the multivers. Besides, as cheap as these downloads are, it's not like you'll have to break the bank to get them.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Well written, entertaining, and informative, like most Planescape products. The included maps are excellant as well.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Unfortunately, this pdf scan is NOT bookmarked so you have to scroll through the entire 320 page document or scan through the Adobe Reader page listing to find what you're looking for. An inconvenience, to be sure, but nothing that should prevent you from getting this otherwise excellant box set. <br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>
