Title: Troy Denning butchers planescape!
Product review: If you've ever played D&D;, and tried the Planescape setting, or played Black Isle Studios Planescape: Torment, you should recognize the Lady of Pain. A mysterious figure whose blade-haloed face serves as the product line's stamp, she is an enigma and the source of much rumor, speculation, fear and awe within the setting.Denning makes her banal. Boring and ordinary, a minor daughter of the Greek god Poseidon who has lost her memory; the setting is filled with new and strange creatures, faiths, beliefs and concepts and he has to go back to the Greeks? He writes horribly, flooding the pages with recursive descriptions of pain and discomfort rather than advancing the narrative, developing a character, introducing a plot...My best guess is that he spent a week reading nothing but his own work at TSR, drank a couple of gallons of ink and vomited on some clean sheets of paper. That might explain this train wreck of idiocy.
