The Eternal Boundary is an adventure module for the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.
The Eternal Boundary, the first adventure for the Planescape setting, focuses on a few key areas of Sigil. The player characters are hired to locate a madman who holds the key to a portal, and explore the slums of the Hive, meet the Bleak Cabal at the Gatehouse, and parley with undead in the vaults of the Mortuary. A fiery climax in another plane provides clues to a conspiracy. [1]
The Eternal Boundary was written by L. Richard Baker III, and published by TSR, Inc. [1]
Rick Swan reviewed The Eternal Boundary for Dragon magazine #211 (November 1994). [1] He suggests that when the player characters "can go anywhere in an infinite number of universes, it's hard to know where to begin. Eternal Boundary [...] comes to the aid of stymied plane-hoppers with an entertaining scenario". [1] Swan concludes by saying: "Despite the reliance on familiar settings (a tavern, a mausoleum, a trap-filled citadel), the bizarre cast of characters and almost casual way that travelers flip between planes gives Eternal Boundary a feel all its own; you're unlikely to confuse it with a conventional fantasy adventure." [1]
Shannon Appelcline comments that the designers of Planescape immediately included the ideas about the elemental planes from the Planescape Campaign Setting "in the first Planescape adventure, The Eternal Boundary (1994), which includes a trip to the Elemental Plane of Fire. Taking a page from Al-Qadim, The Eternal Boundary takes players to a set, civilized locale—a 'citadel of fire.'" [2]
Planescape is a campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, designed by Zeb Cook, and published in 1994.

In the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, an Outer Plane is one of a number of general types of planes of existence. They can also be referred to as godly planes, spiritual planes or divine planes. The Outer Planes are home to beings such as deities and their servants such as demons, celestials and devils. Each Outer Plane is usually the physical manifestation of a particular moral and ethical alignment and the entities that dwell there often embody the traits related to that alignment.
The Temple of Elemental Evil is an adventure module for the fantasy role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, set in the game's World of Greyhawk campaign setting.

Dragon Strike is a 1993 adventure board game from TSR, Inc. based on the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) fantasy role-playing game.

The planes of the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game constitute the multiverse in which the game takes place. Each plane is a universe with its own rules with regard to gravity, geography, magic and morality. There have been various official cosmologies over the course of the different editions of the game; these cosmologies describe the structure of the standard Dungeons & Dragons multiverse.
The flexibility of the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) game rules means that Dungeon Masters (DM) are free to create their own fantasy campaign settings. For those who wanted a pre-packaged setting in which to play, TSR, Wizards of the Coast (WotC), and other publishers have created many settings in which D&D games can be based; of these, the Forgotten Realms, an epic fantasy world, has been one of the most successful and critically acclaimed settings. Many campaign settings include standard sword and sorcery environments, while others borrow Asian, Central American, swashbuckling, horror and even space-travel themes.
