    D&D 5E (2014) DMG Preview: The Multiverse

    Judging just on this - overall, not bad. One mistake however in the artwork - you aren't actually able to see the Infinite Spire from within Sigil. In the Outlands you can look up and see what can be assumed to be Sigil floating above it, but once inside of Sigil, you can't see the Spire...

    D&D 5E (2014) DMG Excerpt: Creating a New Race

    Because hijacking the name of a race of celestials from 2e and 3e as the name for a different and new 4e player race wouldn't lead to confusion in and of itself at all. ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) DMG Excerpt: Creating a New Race

    A 4e eladrin. Huh. The recycling of the 2e/3e eladrin name for the 4e blink elf continues to be problematic, and now its back. That's a genuine shame. It will be nice to eventually get actual 2e/3e tieflings rather than the very different 4e creature, which is all 5e has shown, inexplicably so far.

    I'll totally accept the title of "Queen of the Cliffhanger". Thank you for the praise! *blush* Expect a delay on future updates for the next few weeks, as I'm having shoulder surgery on the 13th (and it's my dominant arm) and I may not be able to type (or comfortably type) while recovering.

    So it would seem to be. :D

    This most recent update brings an end to the one-shot side story, and we'll be returning to the main campaign story and the PCs shortly. Lots of touching on things to come however in this past update, and the Dark of some things revealed or at least alluded to.

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour - (Updated 27July2025)

    I've generally used the alphabet from the real world Voynich Manuscript (using the European Voynich font in Word) as the stand in for Baern in artwork. Since Enworld can't handle that font being brought in, I used a screen cap image of the line from the original storyhour doc. As for the...

    **** "Huh? That wasn't..." Zenia tilted her head sideways, looking oddly at Malcolm for a moment before she stiffened and gasped. "Malcolm?" Starting at her core and spreading outwards like blood staining a white sheet, the genasi screamed in agony as her flesh withered, blackened, and...

    I'm still waiting to see tieflings. ;)

    **** "It's just a door." Malcolm looked askance at the native Sigilians' apprehension. "Oh hell with this all..." Surefoot help up his hands in defeat. "If the razorvine-crowned b*tch-king wants what might be inside, she can walk her fat a** down here and open it on her own." "Just a door?"...

    You'll find out the shadowy figure's identity next update, which I'm actually working on now over lunch. And yes, my regular players in the one shot loved and hated it, because if they succeeded it would probably bite them in the regular campaign,. The hive in the next one shot had enough...

    The rats, the psionic undead, fiends... Yeah :) The next one shot I ran, Clueless's player played a cranium rat hive.

    **** "This is something I never thought I'd see," Zenia gave a nervous giggle as she stepped out of the passage and into the buried remains of the Prime Ward. "It's something alright," Surefoot glanced about with equal measures awe and wariness. "Wow..." Malcolm blinked and strained to see...

    You won't find any other reference to them, I made them up whole cloth. Imagine undead psions heavily inspired by dualistic gnosticism (of the Bogomil or Cathar variety). The physical world is a prison, created not by a loving God, but by a powerful, flawed, evil demiurge. This particular...

    "I'm not going to question our good fortune." Malcolm cracked a smile that coexisted uneasily with the cold sweat upon his brow. "But let's not wait around and let the rats gather the courage to follow." As soon as the words had left his mouth, a trio of the rats moved forward, crossing...

    It makes me smile when someone new finds this and enjoys it. I'm still having a hell of a good time putting this campaign into story form! Next update is in-progress. The PCs do more than just survive and proceed. They make some pretty big impacts by the end of it all.

    Either their essence can change, or they possessed a spark/flaw of some other alignment which ultimately led to an eventual shift. In 3.x there was a risen ultroloth, Felthis ap Jerran published in Dragon magazine (which I'm responsible for). Here's a list from a few years ago of some other...
