Planescape Master Index
This is an ambitious project which is only just getting started. My
goal is to build an index of all characters, places, and items which are
referred to in official published Planescape products. This way,
when one comes across a reference to somebody or something, one can
figure out where else that thing is discussed. Each entry will have the
name of the person, place, or thing, the references where it appears,
the primary plane which is relevant to it, and a set of keywords. This
will be a searchable database, so that you will (for instance) be able
to get all names associated with the plane Bytopia, or everything with
"athar" as a keyword.
It will take time to build up the index; currently it is very paltry,
and as such not very useful. Over time, however, hopefully it will
become more useful.
There are two ways to view the index:
- List everything in the index alphabetically
- Search the index
Progress Report
So far, I've gone through and added names to the index from the
following books:
- Planescape: A Player's Guide to the Planes
- Planescape: Sigil and Beyond
- In the Cage: A Guide to Sigil (about half-way through)
- The Inner Planes (just started)
Obviously, there's still a lot left to do!
Search the Index
Instructions: Enter your search words
in the boxes above, separated by spaces. If you enter words in more
than one box, the search will return anything that satisfies any of the
three conditions. For each box, you can specify whether "any" or "all"
of the words in that box must be found for the search to return an
entry.
- Example 1: If you type "Hashkar" in name and "Fiend" in
keywords, you will get both anybody named Hashkar and any fiends
in the database.
- Example 2: If you type "fiend" and "outlands" in the keywords
box, and leave the "any/all" selector to "any", you will get a long list
of all fiends and anybody associated with the Outlands. If you change
the "any/all" selector to "all", you will only get fiends associated
with the Outlands.
If you want to search for a phrase (i.e. words together), put them in
quotes. If you just type: fraternity of
order
into the keywords box, and leave the any/all selector on "any", you
will find all entries with any of the words "fraternity", "of",
or "order". This probably isn't what you want! You can either switch
the any/all selector to "and", or better, enter:
"fraternity of order"
into the keywords box. (None of the searches are case sensitive, so
don't worry about upper or lower case letters.)
Hint: If you're looking for people of
a given faction, give the faction's full name in the keywords field, not
the abbreviation. "Fraternity of Order" should return people in that
faction, but they won't be found if you just type "guvners". Don't put
in the "the" which appears at the beginning of many faction names; try
"fraternity of order", not "the fraternity of order".
