Planet Hoppers

A weekly web feature called Planet Hoppers was presented on the Wizards of the Coast site, though it occasionally skipped weeks. It ran from January 2003 until October 2004. It also included an extra chapter in April 2005 and a few more in 2008. Each narrative spanned four to five chapters, each focusing on a specific planet. They also contained roleplaying-game information, including stats and details about the characters, technology, creatures, and locations featured in the story.
