As only the Clueless can, they quickly find trouble, in more ways than one; before they know what has happened, they find themselves thrust across the infinite planes in a conflict that they can barely comprehend, much less make sense of... Hey! it ain't called Tumult fer nothin', berk!

	Title:	A Night at Quake's Place
	Author:	The Planescape Chain Story Group (Editor - Ken Lipka)
	Summary:	This is the first chain story that the PSCS group wrote. It was written primarily to get a feel for how the entire process would work. As such, it was decided that a rather "silly" subject matter would be chosen so that the pressure to contribute was minimized and the focus would be on HOW the thing was written rather than WHAT was written. As such, we have a story that not only helped develop the PSCS writing rules, but also ended up breaking a few rules of the setting and writing stories in general. Anyway, the story is about what could be typical night at a Xaositect-owned tavern, Quake Lavender's Place. (Editor's Note: This story is unfinished. We abandoned the project when we started work on our first "serious" project. See next entry.)
	Title:	War Journal
	Author:	The Planescape Chain Story Group (Editor - Ken Lipka)
	Summary:	This is the second project of the PSCS group. The story is written as a chronicle of events which describe what happens when the City of Doors comes under seige by the combined forces of the Fiends and their mysterious allies. Will our heroes be able to figure out what's going on, let alone stop the sinister plan? (Editor's Note: And the answer is, "no". If you've been paying attention, you'll see that this story has been stalled out for about a year and a half. So, unfortunately the great experiment that was PSCS has ended. If I ever find a lot of free time [yeah, right] I might go about finishing this thing on my own.)
