To tell you the truth, I have never ran a Planescape module before, not an official one, anyway. I have played in several Planar games, but never used any of the official modules, due to my lack of cash as you young teenager.

My question to you PS buffs, if you will answer - what modules should I run, & in what order, for a group of Primes?

The modules that I now have would include Well of the Worlds, Something Wild, the Infinite Staircase, The Deva Spark, The Great Modron March, & Faction War.

I have only read through Faction War, & then Modron March slightly to get the stories.

What module should I start with, & what should I select next?

You should get your hands on The Eternal Boundary. With a little modification, that can be a really great introductory adventure.

Out of the modules you currently own, Well of Worlds and the Infinite Staircase are your best bets for Clueless.

Well of Worlds is full of short write-ups. The first one can introduce players to the Great Wheel.

Infinite Staircase is a campaign, but easily works as an intro. By default, it can start in the Forgotten Realms, and there was actually an old FR module, For Duty and Deity , that could be linked to it. You used to be able to download that module as a free ESD from WotC, but I don't think that's the case anymore. Anyway, on its own, it makes a good startingt point for planar adventures.

I have for Duty & Deity, I've toyed with the idea of playing that.

I also picked up "Fires of Dis", "Doors to the Unknown", & "Harbringer House", & I ordered "The Eternal Boundary".

The Primes will probably come from Toril, as that is my group's favorite Prime World.

Probably the main "problem" with Infinite Staircase is that it doesn't delve into planar society; very light on the factions and barely a mention of Sigil. If you're looking to introduce the PCs to that sort of thing in a hurry, Staircase isn't your best bet.

Eternal Boundary is a decent enough adventure, designed for low- level and enmeshed in the Planescape background. It's also not a campaign.

I'd like to introduce players to the Planescape society, & as I have said, they will be starting resonably lower in level. I think I will wait for my copy of "The Eternal Boundary" to ship.
