How are your studies faring, Shemeska? You're not usually silent for such an extended period of time, so you must be buried in books and papers. Hang tough!

As a stand-alone story, Planescape: Torment. In terms of replay value, the Neverwinter Nights series takes the crown because it came with a toolset that was routinely upgraded and expanded. I passed many, many hours playing various modules made by some surprisingly good story tellers. I'd buy a...

EA has a proven track record of gobbling up other video game creators and running them into the ground. I'm genuinely surprised that EAWare--oops, BioWare--has lasted as long as they have as an in-house design studio. Time will tell, but I believe they'll be gone within five years.

BioWare hasn't been BioWare since they merged with EA--EAWare, is more like it. *grumbles resentfully* I didn't have a gaming computer when the BG/BG2/Planescape computer-based videogames were all the rage. I did pick one up in time to enjoy the Neverwinter Nights series and I found them (and...

I'd guess that Arcana relates to wizardry/spells and Occultism would cover planar lore such as demonology.

Looks like Shemeska's astral yugoloth made the cover of an upcoming Planar Adventures book for Pathfinder. Congratulations to the proud, vain, talented, vain, creative, and vain wordsmithing fiend!

It'll take the power of a Chosen Soul--several, in fact--to go after an incipient lesser god or lesser anti-god, whatever the Oinoloth is becoming. As for Shemeska, this'll be a lesson learned...for a while. But will she betray the Oinoloth at a critical moment in the future when he genuinely...

Getting many hits on the account? If so, it's gratifying that many yet remember the glories of Planescape. As an aside, charming music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PSFN2r6bXY

A twisted [rhymes with bunt], that one. Grand scale or personal, in her wake she leaves ruin.

A Valentine's Day present to all your readers--how thoughtful of you! And it is gratefully received, King of the Crosstrade.

No sneer, but the aloof condescension comes through in spades. Bravo!

If the yugoloths don't make your skin crawl, they're not being portrayed correctly. These are done wickedly well.

Back to school. That takes a firm belief in ones' own self. I did it when I was in my late twenties because my undergraduate degree just wasn't opening doors that I needed open. It's that old devil known as degree devaluation. A baccalaureate in the sciences used to be worth something, but those...

Odd that he'd forget. If memory serves, this story hour has previously referred to your PC as a Bladesinger. Regardless, this was another satisfying update.

Very, very intense. Annihilating an entire civilization is quite a feat, particularly one as dominant as Netheril. That's an awesomely horrific feather in the Ebon's cap.

Yet another grand update. This is the caliber of campaign that would've caused me to skip other social engagements and do my homework and studying in a perfunctory fashion if I'd had the privilege of participating as a player back in my undergraduate days. May your imaginings and writings go...

I've always enjoyed the well-rounded nature of this campaign. Yes, there's plenty of combat, but the social elements come into play regularly. *tips hat*

*minor nudge*

Happy New Year, one and all! New Year's Day was sunny and bright, but now we're back to leaden skies suitable for Niflheim or some place else in the Grey Waste.

Congratulations on the acceptance! I understand the programs are quite intense, but the rewards are substantial. You were a micro-biologist, right? Did monetary reasons drive the switch or were you just getting antsy in a lab all day long?
