I'm completely with you on this one. Eberron was designed from the outset with its own unique planar structure, and it was never intended to fit into the Great Wheel, so out of respect for that setting I think it would be a poor idea to force it to comply to a different cosmology (be it the 4e...

I'm not sure that I'd necessarily call either one an innovation, but rather a focused expansion on something from 3e for the former and an amalgamation of things from prior editions for the latter. The feywild existed in 3e as an optional plane of Faerie, though 4e put it front and center in...

Also, just as an adjunct for atmospheric effect, the last scene in this most recent update (and the continuation of the scene in subsequent updates) is very much aided by the music video for 'Sick Sick Sick' by Queens of the Stone Age. It's pretty self-explanatory given the implied storyhour...

The Marauder's erstwhile pack of adventurers left the confines of the Azure Iris through yet another of the fiend's not-exactly-on-the-blueprints routes of egress, in this instance an obscured back stairwell that very likely wouldn't be in the same place if they tried to locate it a second time...

It's one step in the right direction at least.

So Wolfgang Baur was asked about the issue of Tiamat being 'imprisoned' in the 9 Hells in 'Tyranny of Dragons' when that would seem to be either a retcon or a continuity error.

There was an intent to follow up on Faction War and eventually bring the Factions fully back. There was at one point a 'City of Doors' box set on TSR's release schedule, but ultimately material that was produced for that was folded into the city details section of 'Faction War'. It would be...

They're 'too similar' in the same way that scrambled eggs, pancakes, and orange juice are too similar as parts of a balanced breakfast. Unless the idea of different begins and ends with statblocks and completely overlooks the flavor text, I'm truly just not seeing it. 4e made a lot of noise...

Well that's a bit harsh, given that I got paid for a 4e planar piece in Dungeon #205. I take issue with many of the design decisions, but I'm rather familiar with the material. My earlier answer about the Blood War ending in 4e is technically correct, if overly brief. Ending/hiatus doesn't...

Of course you can have your PCs topple the Lady, roll initiative versus her, anything you want really. It's your game and you're the DM, go right ahead. But on some level I think going that route misses the intended point of the Lady in the setting to an extent. She isn't an NPC so much as myth...

The 4e cosmology had the Blood War end. But the 4e cosmology wasn't Planescape/the Great Wheel so I would think that should have little impact on 5e. It's an awesome concept and I sincerely hope that it's part of 5e.

That's one interpretation of that conversation within Leobtav's head, yes. :) Vorkannis is old. Very old. Exceedingly old. What exactly he is or isn't was a relatively late reveal in the campaign and there are several plot arcs to go before that answer comes up overtly -though I'll be dropping...

And since the Marauder is once again gracing the storyhour with her esteemed presence: "Did you miss me?" *artwork by Cassetterecorder

The Marauder’s lip trembled, and for a moment she briefly considered tapping the well of communal knowledge locked within the Tower Arcane in Gehenna, but paused before turning that mental key. No, she knew the tale well enough, and if the Ebon had chosen her, there was no need to involve any...

I have a habit of commissioning artwork of NPCs in campaigns that I run. I've got a few tiefling images (Nisha etc) out there, and some more recent characters from my current Pathfinder campaign as well.

*ponder* I never really did things in discrete arcs, and there were often lots of side things going on at once. The world moves along with or without the PCs, and what they choose to interact with they have the most influence on potentially. So some things are obvious plot arcs, and then...

Have I ever mentioned that you're awesome? You're awesome.

They had a database crash of some sort. Everything is saved, but it may be a while yet before the site is back up since the webmaster is seriously busy at the moment. But it's in the works. Meladaemons aren't a Planescape thing, they're just within the Pathfinder universe. I've written a lot...
