    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour (Updated 29 Jan 2014)

    If you beat him, you will be the king of all robots! I like your descriptions of the Ethereal Plane. Also, is Baatorian firewine anything like the Arborean version? Are the two planes involved in some kind of vintner competition?

    he began with sticky shins He murmured in pictures, like a dabus would. Which explains how he's able to talk to one so easily later on?

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour (Updated 29 Jan 2014)

    till the radio plays something familiar It's a new rule, which has gained acceptance in some quarters. One of my high school English teachers spoke of it favorably. Traditionally, we were supposed to use "he" as the generic third person singular, but in the last three decades people have...

    The Book of Exalted Deeds - It's Here! (merged - full ToC posted)

    Only the archons have a hierarchy as such. There's some discussion - as in who reports to which member of the Hebdomad. The other two races have a much more loosely structured society, although the eladrins have a ruling court. I think it would be a mistake to try to draw direct parallels...

    The Book of Vile Darkness - it is mine, review within

    On Graz'zt's CR: Pfft and feh! Upper Krust misses the whole point of Graz'zt - he didn't get where he he is today from his raw power. He's successful because he's smart, cunning, charismatic and subtle. In 2nd edition, Demogorgon and Orcus were both lesser gods, while Graz'zt was only a...

    Half-Orcs?
