Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour (Updated 29 Jan 2014)

[Gez]

Great update!

That's what is nice with the outer planes, they don't bother themselves with euclidian geometry.

On the typo front, there's just one, but a funny:

He was dressed in simple brown robes and only a single gemstone adored him, seemingly attached to his forehead.

You're the one that I adore, you'll always be my fore...

‘In silence, in solitude, entombed here in the depths of Her Serenity’s vaults I wait. Patient as the Great Spire and fearing none, for I see where others do not. Only by our Lady’s Will does darkness cloud my eyes as I wait for HUBRIS to shake the Heavens and Hells.

Isn't Hubris what 'Vorkannis' means? Vorkannis has certainly shaken the Heavens and Hells. Looks like whatever it is that is imprisoned there is going to get out soon...

 

[Clueless]

We didn't know yet about the meaning of fuzzy face's name... but yeah, you're pretty close to right there.

This last update rather nicely reminds me of the movie Labyrinth.

The PCs didn't find out the meaning of his name for quite some time later. We'll get back to him, but not immediately.

I don't know, but Voorkennis is Dutch for "priviledged information."

I don't know, but Voorkennis is Dutch for "priviledged information."

That's amusing on a number of levels.

I wasn't aware of that at all. After the storyhour is over (not anytime soon at all) I'm sitting on a document I typed up randomly that goes into the slow evolution of some of primary NPCs, who they were, name original, how they changed from their original conception etc. Given that it started out as a oneshot game with nothing planned past the Nilesia plot arc, some of them changed massively. Once it killed the game that was on hiatus for Xmas vacation when it started I sat down and had most everything hammered out loosely for the next 2-3 years of metaplot.

Of course, the source of that 'priviledged information' in game ended up being The Lie Weaver. Which itself was an amusing plot arc, but I shall say no more.

 

[Bryon_Soulweaver]

Sooooooo, how about that update?

 

[Clueless]

Hush, he's busy killing the party right now.
