in one of the ad&d books there was a map of the world surrounded by spheres representing different planes connected to the earth like the astral, limbo, hell, etc
does anyone know where I can get a copy of this online or if possible scan it in and send it to me?

that was in either the 1E or 2E DMG. if its in the 2E I can scan it for you, if its in the 1E its gonna be hard to find it.

First Edition Advanced D&D In the Appendix of the Players Handbook...I believe...

This is a free Planescape comic:

It should have what you want in there. And some tarmy chant too!

thanks for everyone's help
