April fools. I'm pretty sure I'd get mazed for actually trying to combine Planescape and anything from Synnibarr. God forbid. XD This went over so much better on Facebook. I did it on a lark over coffee at work, and had some giant PS fans all but hyperventilating, and then cursing my name...

I've been wanting to actually cackle with joy about this well prior to now, but I've been under NDA. I've been contracted out to write a 5e Planescape campaign setting sourcebook. In addition, to reach both a broader audience and to show that 5e acknowledges and appreciates all prior editions...

This is Taba's first appearance, and actually the first mention of Taba's name. In one of the recent updates, Vorkannis and Helekanalaith talk about her, but don't mention her name, just that she's still presumably alive and might potentially become a problem since she's the only altraloth still...

The most stable route to Grenpoli led via the permanent gate from Ribcage to Avernus. From there, through the great door adjacent to Tiamat's domain, the route followed a tightly regulated and brutally defended path designed to funnel the armies of Baator out and prevent the entry of those...

I've been working on this a lot lately. Expect another update today or tomorrow (with some serious additions of characters and layers of mystery/plot). :D

Because even if you assume historicity to the story, the original story and subsequent reference to it both in the NT and Talmudic commentary, it has nothing to do with homosexuality. Really only some very sketchy sourcing and translation in the KJV makes that connection.

They're all compiled from other sources, largely 2e Planescape. Many of them are described or visited there, but some are just names and layer numbers. FC1 is wonderfully comprehensive with earlier sources.

It's neither a choice, lifestyle, or outlook however. They have as much say as someone does in being black, white, male, female, etc.

I'm proud of GenCon for this. All that I'll say :)

The sense of timeless drifting and sudden, bitter cold that accompanied the transition between Sigil and the far end of its innumerable portals was there and then gone in the space of a heartbeat. The group stepped from a doorway in the Lower Ward only a few blocks distant from 'The Friendly...

Jury duty, the new 'printer problems' for the 21st century. Not really, but it had to be said. That's got to be an annoying wrench thrown into schedules when the work is already done or mostly done.

Unlike in the real world where you have a balance of people retiring from the upper ranks to make room for new people, with a relatively constant influx of entry level position hirings, for the 'loths, nobody retires of their own accord and they're perpetually creating a never-ending supply of...

They're keeping a lid on rumors tbh. That said, in contrast to your perceptions of GenCon. I hope they (WotC) have better marketing at GenCon this year, because I found them to be nearly invisible last year unless you sought them out. They had no dealers room presence at all, so lots of casual...

It wasn't intended to be a permanent thing. The intent by the Planescape design crew was to eventually bring the Factions back into Sigil, advancing the setting metaplot through future products. However the setting was folded back into core, as opposed to a setting of its own, by TSR and those...

I wouldn't hold my breath for seeing any in-depth books on FR, which is unfortunate. While the Realms was seriously hyped leading into 5e, to quote Brian James from over on Candlekeep: "Many of you may recall that James Wyatt invited many of us Realms lorelords to a design summit roughly three...

You'll notice to an extent that those outsider races that were created for Pathfinder because their prior versions from D&D were closed content (and thus had to be replaced with new races created from the ground up) exhibit more cohesion around a central concept versus those outsider races that...

In Golarion, the gods weren't the first creatures to exist. While different creatures have their own creation myths (though all of them might in fact be true), the general scheme of things is that the proteans existed first, with the Abyss and the obyriths appearing next (they and the Abyss were...

"So how do you want to do this?" Florian glanced up at Toras, then over to the stairwell across the street that ascended to the door indicated by a man still stuck, head-first in a door of his own a Ward away. Toras pointed up to the door, "Well from what I understand they're certain of their...

Ideally they'll move back to the flavor of 2e/3e and largely ignore the 4e race's existence if cohesion of the lore is the desired outcome. However it would probably be worth adding in some ambiguous flavor text to allow for additional variants beyond the four cardinal elements (so as not to...

Wow that's unfortunate. Even if he didn't include the proper OGL notice for it, there's really no way for this to end up as anything but a PR nightmare for WotC. Pathguy has had some really cool fan stuff on his page since 2e (his Planescape stuff especially), and it's really unfortunate to see...
