Anything by Paul Kemp (his 3.x era Eravis Cale novels are his best IMO). He's just that damn good of writer that I'll pretty much read anything he writes even if I don't like the world he's writing in. Some authors I can't get into because of the setting (I can't get past the trainwreck that 4e...

This seems to be a very popular theory. I'm surprised this came back up in response to the last update rather than the admission that Shylara the Manged was once her apprentice (and lover).

I corrected a typo. She blackmailed her way up from nycaloth to arcanaloth, not mezzoloth.

“Greetings Children…” Fyrehowl spun around at the voice, but halfway through her turn, she fell to the ground, retching uncontrollably as the baernaloth’s proximity combined with the fact that it stood on a patch of the Waste itself amplified the cosmic toxicity it exuded like an infected wound...

Not according to the article about her in Dragon 350, which places the first abishai as a collaborative work between Tiamat and Pearza of the Dark 8.

Tiamat has had a very close relationship with the Dark 8 (who effectively act as Asmodeus's proxies in the Blood War), up to and including having a child (Mordukhavar the Reaver) with Cantrum the deceased (supposedly) founder of the Dark 8. The abishai are effectively on permanent loan to Tiamat...

I'll just point out that I'm on the writing team for this. Folks should have a decent idea of what sort of things I tend to work on, and the approach of horror/wonder I'm most at home with. :)

“So yeah…” Clueless motioned to Leobtav’s dagger now fully embedded into the doorway and activating an open, functional portal. “There’s this.” “You’re saying the dagger moved on its own accord to open the portal?” Toras stared and frowned. Clueless nodded with much the same expression, “It...

My current PC is MtF (mind you, she's a bit of a corner case because she was born with a male body, was MtF, and ended up magically shifted to a female body as a result of an deal with an artifact that also as a price it effectively rewrote reality to erase her existence from collective memory...

Back at the Portal Jammer, Tristol sat at a corner table in the main taproom, staring at a crisp white envelope marked with his arcane symbol as well as a symbol of a specific house from the nation of Halruaa: his own. Also embossed upon the envelope both physically and with far too much use of...

I only know people playing Pathfinder and 3.x when it comes to D&D, and a smattering of other games like Shadowrun, WoD, Eclipse Phase, etc. Nobody I know dislikes 5e (a very different situation from 4e), and they'd happily play it, but it isn't anyone's first or favorite option. Most folks are...

Given Shemeska's ego, it was there looming as something that she might do (against all better judgement) above and beyond the reasons that she was give the Key in the first place. Florian's insult was an excuse to have her play with it. There will be ramifications. Big ones.

“The shattered temple is not his!” Hobard pointed a finger directly at Muriav Garianis with the spite and contempt in his voice and eyes nearly palpable. “Regardless of our status as a Faction, it was our home, and it is still ours!” More and more citizens in the crowd abruptly left their seats...

More options for tieflings beyond the exclusively devil-blooded description of the PHB race and finally an acknowledgement that yeah, they aren't all linked to Asmodeus. Then they go ahead and link two of the options thematically to devils anyway...

No scientific reason, other than the current body of literature looking at the interplay of genes, epigenetics, and hormonal flux during fetal development and how they influence sexual orientation and gender identity prior to birth. Try again. The fine details are still in development, but it...

The Paradox of Tolerance as Popper termed it is a real thing and very useful to keep in mind, but there's always the difficult point of where to draw the line in defining what speech is intolerant at what point and where we place restrictions. Just direct threats of violence? Any speech that...
